Buying fresh milk near Amphoe NaKae

[sinclairfr]

Hello,

I would like to know if there is a way to buy fresh whole milk from cow in Issan, preferably near Amphoe Na Kae? (between Sakon Nakhon and Nakon Panom also suitable).

Is there a way to order it from a farm?

Thanks a lot for your help

All   I  can say is Google dairy co-ops   NE  Thailand  , see if they is one near you the  Thai /Denmark milk company, aka  DPO, they have milk centers in Issan, along with other milk company's  ,you can find some farms from there .

If  you find a farm  you should be able  to get a regular supply, should be no need to order it ,but, but, Thai dairy  farms have no on-farm cooling  facilities, milk is picked up from farms  straight  after  milking , twice a day ,  and taken to  the co-op/center  for cooling and  storage,  for you get to the farm  4.00pm ? after  afternoon  milking (or 7.00am), or  arrange   for  them to store the milk for you .  

  The price of farm gate milk   is about  18 baht /kg   , depending on  milk quality  .

Thank u so much. 

My goal here is to make cream, whipped cream and any other dairy-based product that are so overpriced in Thailand.

I will look into that.

Many thanks for your help.

Finding fresh  milk is the easy part, finding a regular market  for the product,  is  another thing.

The market  would  be 90%  farang ,Thais  are not in to  cream ,m arkets  would    be Bangkok, C .Mai , Pattaya  ect  findind shops to  sell the  products , a gain on  a regular  basis.

Guy  near me a Thai  is selling  goats milk  cheese  ,h e s mainly  to farang  markets , does ok logistics  are a problem  ,got riped off  by useing   trains  to send his cheese  BKK- CM, some one at  CM  forgot to pick up the  cheese , a lot got spoiled, just one example .

I would  make sure  for certain   they is  market  first  before investing   anything
