Yep, mine is down to 1,900 now ( 3 bedroom each with aircon but not always occupied) Another price for you ... The wife and her uncle have just slaughtered 13 fully grown ducks and are now out in the fields plucking and butchering them. 1,500 Baht for all 13 ..

The problem with your very good idea is that there is such a diverse group of people in Pattaya both Locals and Expats. For example during Covid there were many groups of people that set up food stations to feed the local community that had no income. These were made up of volunteers from holiday makers, expats living here, business owners and bar managers. These can be split into two groups. 1. Free of Charge volunteers. These were the large majority that gave their time and money without expecting anything in return. 2. Chargeable volunteers. This was a small minority that expected to be paid for helping out. In some cases just "organizing" the line. You will be overwhelmed with good hearted people willing to donate food but this will be undermined by the small percentage that will see it as an opportunity to siphon off proceeds. Up to you.

Compared to Lotus's ....

I was in the process of checking out Manston's and Siamburis for the price of a boneless leg of lamb when I noticed that Manston's do free Nationwide delivery for orders over 4,000 Baht. I save 415Baht on delivery and all the Manston's stuff is cheaper on their site anyway..

For the same sausage meat and chestnut stuffing my intention was to post an excellent offer from Manston's for sage and onion sausage meat balls but they removed the offer before I could get my order in as I was away from the house for a week. So, know the prices of your main food items so that you can lump in on a good deal before it is snatched away !!

I will be making my own chestnut stuffing for Christmas and new year so ordered these .... but instead of 6 packets as in the picture, 12 arrived ...

Perhaps you might not be interested in my next price update then but others with worse money management skills might be.... We bought several kg of chicken carcass from Lotus on Friday at 21 Baht/kg but this isn't to be boiled down to make a broth, instead it us used for soup. I have always enjoyed chicken/turkey/duck neck and this comes with the carcass. Also the meat around where the neck meets the body is effing delicious too. It kinda reminds me of the fleshy bit of a tiger prawn that is left after you remove the head... The thing is, this isn't chicken that has been water-blasted to remove meat for chicken burgers/sausages, it still has enough meat on it such that bunged in a pan with spuds and carrots you have a damned good meal! I reckon for less than 2 quid you have enough chicken to feed both of you two days! First day with veggie, second day with mama noodles .. Enjoy !!

Yep! She had a cracking pair of legs !!

Were you at Suvarnabhumi Domestic Terminal on Tuesday afternoon with a lady in fishnet tights by any chance ..... ????

I was thinking about you this morning when I first woke up. I noticed that I had hung my polo shirt on a hanger which causes nipples to appear on the shoulders if left too long. It wasn't the nipples that reminded me of you but the shirt itself. I decided to check the label when folding it up. It is now officially winter in Thailand and the weather is getting quite brisk in the mornings out here in Ubon so yesterday I dug out a bunch of polo shirts that I purchased in Pattaya about 5 years ago specifically to cope with an English summer, which also makes them perfect for a Thai winter. These are 100% cotton and are thicker than the flimsy ones you normally get in the markets and shops. I know this is a "price" thread but even if I could remember how much I paid it would be irrelevant 5 years after I bought them. This is about location. I swear I checked everywhere but couldn't find any thick enough until I randomly went in this place after dropping some keks off at a nearby tailor. So here we go... Pattaya Avenue.. Maybe they have thinner 100% cotton available but that wasn't what I was looking for because that style make my tits look big..

Totally agree with @Bushcraft and @forcebwithu .I worked here for many years just on the entry stamp.. but those were the days before forums and YT Vloggers. A glorious time when everybody minded their own business. Unfortunately we are in a time of envy amongst expats and locals alike. Do your thing but don't tell anybody anything.

Just to get back on track... I don't just order from Siamburis! I also use Manston's website for food deliveries depending on what I need. .. They use the same delivery service which works very well for me. https://manstonfoods-shop.com/

Or a horseradish/wasabi thread ..

I worked in Japan many years ago and the local Engineers loved taking their time to show me the different Wasabi tastes available. The company paid so no idea how much it cost ..

I'm tempted to try these two out on my next "dry" delivery next month ..(Dry = non frozen) ... Have you tried them?

I bought a jar of this about a month ago. It was extremely disappointing!! Watery and with an overwhelming taste of vinegar. Nothing like the thick horseradish sauce that I am used to. If you've never tried it before the best comparison would be a weak cheap wasabi ... probably because some weak cheap wasabi contain horseradish!

I had a look at them this morning and they all have a percentage of polyester ranging between 35% to 100% with cotton (obviously not the 100% one) Interestingly the labels were a mixture of Made in Cambodia/Indonesia/China ...

@keyman may not agree but for me the best tin opener was the ones issued with Compo Rations in the 70s !!

Just normal short sleeved shirts ..

I don't eat Baked Beans but was responding to how much.... Even if I did eat them I wouldn't eat this brand because it doesn't have an easy to open flip top lid ...

I haven't bought shirts from a market for well over 5 years and when I did I think they were probably 120 Baht each.. Today I bought 6 new shirts (Hooray!) at 2 for 120 Baht at the local market here. Better quality than the ones I had purchased previously at Buakhao market.

If you are having somebody special over for an evening of fun you can buy a 2.65kg can of Branston baked beans for 279 Baht .. (Or should I say 279 Barps)

I have just added these to my shopping list for delivery tomorrow.. The nearest supermarket sells a pack of 2 slices for 20 Baht..
