Here is a post by Thaiworthy about a Turkey farm in Thailand:lvdkeyes wrote:I didn't know there was a Tukey god.

I have no idea. Why not simply ask them?lvdkeyes wrote:Where are the restaurants that are having Thanksgiving dinners getting their turkeys?
I haven't seen turkeys in any of the grocery stores I've been to yet. For Butterball turkeys, I would imagine Villa Market would be the most likely grocery store to find them - or turkeys at all, for that matter.
You might also ask the grocery store managers if they are going to have turkeys in stock and, if yes, when they expect to have them available.
Eddie - owner of Rich Man-Poor Man - has turkeys. He says he is also serving capons. He says capons are close to the same flavor and texture of turkeys. If you can't get any turkeys, maybe capons are the best alternative. But you would have to ask Eddie where he gets them from.

I don't see why they wouldn't. I just wrote them about your inquiry. But when you posted before, you said you had no more room in your freezer. I am just trying to help. They speak English.lvdkeyes wrote:Thanks, but they won't deliver to Pattaya.

Re: Thanksgiving in Thailand
I have asked 2 restaurants that are having turkey and neither has answered me yet.
As for capon, it will be my choice if I cannot get a traditional turkey, but to say the taste is the same as turkey, that's BS. Capon is far superior IMHO, but I was wanting traditional.

Re: Thanksgiving in Thailand
So which one is worse, no turkey here in Thailand or President Trump back home? The sky seems to be falling on many fronts as of late...

For me, Thailand is home. Therefore no turkey in Thailand is worse - for now.Alex wrote:So which one is worse, no turkey here in Thailand or President Trump back home?
When Obama pardons the Thanksgiving turkey, why am I expecting Trump to take office, revoke the pardon, and it's turkey dinner at the White House . . . ?
