KittenKong Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I saw many pre-cooked frozen ones in Makro Pattaya and apparently they have them also in BigC Pattaya. Price seems to be around 450-500B/kg, which is a lot more than I think turkey is worth. No idea about other areas, or about uncooked ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jip99 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 A couple of weeks ago I was in Yorkies shop in Jomtien and they had a sign saying that there was a ban on importing turkeys from USA and, as they couldn't source any quality Thai turkeys, they would not be stocking them.

ozzydom Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Tops in Udon Thani had turkeys on Monday, from the packaging I would guess locally sourced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the pre-cooked Makro/BigC ones are from Australia. The world is a big place and it seems odd for Yorkies to restrict themselves to just the US or Thailand for supplies. Even the UK produces turkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that American turkeys have been shipped via Canada to get round the ban. Maybe Yorkies take the view that nobody in their right mind would pay such ridiculously inflated prices for a bird in Thailand.
