These are the only Turkeys in the frozen section!!!!!!!
An 8 kg turkey at 650/kg would put the price of a turkey at about $150. That's insane. I have resolved myself to having capon instead of turkey.

Which place in Pattaya sells capons?

How about a vegan Thanksgiving dinner? A symbolic blanket pardon for all edible animals, cock-like or otherwise... It would also be incredibly cheap in comparison.

I am not vegetarian or vegan. I like my meat.

I just bought capons at Makro for 80/kg as opposed to Norbet turkey at Friendship for 680/kg.

The set turkey meal at Pastrami on Rye was very good and reasonably priced at 595 baht. That included pumpkin pie and one drink. I certainly would do it again next year.
