Davai Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Hello New Year Eve coming and we are on a mission to cook instead of dining out I would like to know where do Thai people buy fresh uncooked beef in pattaya? Many years ago a Russian friend told us they can be bought at a mosque in pattaya as there are Muslim vendor selling it (is this true?) I've seen many sold in big c are expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 If you are looking to buy Cheap Beef,you had better have gnashers like that guy in the James Bond movies,as even decent Thai Beef is as tough as old boots. you maybe be better with pork which is very good and cheap, or chicken ditto, regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yengec Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Most of the Thais dont like beef but of course there can be a little population. As I am the fan of beef meat, I tried many shops in Pattaya. Most of theirs beef is very hard and not tasty. I dont know if my suggestion helps but if you look for price value beef, I can recommend (the beef rib eye 350thb per kg)Friendship market on Pattaya Tai road.

lopburi3 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Very few Thai buy any kind of beef - the only beef they will likely come into contact with is from old water buffalo and even then most will not eat. Chok Chai Farms and such provide better grade domestic beef but most would be purchased by hotels for feeding foreign guests. So yes you will probably have to pay for decent quality beef. As said pork and chicken are the meats of choice here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 If you want good beef in Thailand at a reasonable price, you want to be looking for Thai-French beef that mainly comes from Sakon Nakhon. Otherwise known in Thai as "Pon Yang Kham." The TF beef cooperative has a butcher shop/retail outlet right near the main Villa Market on Sukhumvit Soi 33 in Bangkok at very good prices. But the same cooperative also sells their TF beef to the various farang oriented supermarkets around the country, who resell it unfortunately at sometimes considerably higher prices. http://www.thaifrenchbeef.com/PYK_ENG.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At home I opened the pack and it was just numerous small offcuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Araiwah Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Just get yourself to your local fresh market nice and early. It's about 300bt per kilo and roasts up very nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1FinickyOne Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 The beef here is pretty bad as it is.. seeking cheap, well, that is something to strive toward. Look for the signs that say, We have the worst meat in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLewis Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 If you want to make up a stew or a chunky chili you can use Thai beef as you will be braising it while it slow cooks. For cooking steaks or a roast break down and buy imported beef it can be found from 900 to 2000 baht a kilo. Well worth it all the way around.

shaurene Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I buy my beef many times from the supermarket the main south road by Tukcom. They have good Top Round for roasting and good fillet, scotch fillet which I get vacuum packed and take it back to Khon Kaen with me. It is around 350-390kilo. I also get them to mince me a big piece of the top round. Pick your scotch fillet with fat runs in it. Before you cook it rub olive oil on it, salt, pepper and stick it in the fridge over night. Heat olive oil in a fry pan hot and put the steak in cook for 2 mins turn the heat down and wait for blood to start seaping out then turn over keep pressing down with a flat head ladle and wait for the blood to start seaping out. Oh, before you put in the fridge get a fork and punch it all over for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweedledee2 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 If you have a Top's Market store near you, I would check there. The store near me has imported fresh, not frozen beef cuts on display. Makro, Tesco and Big C stores near me have beef in their freezer sections, occasionally Big C has fresh cuts for sale. The price of imported beef is high everywhere in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ftpjtm Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 We made a beef stew using frozen "sirlion" from Makro. It worked for stew but would have been pretty awful as a grilled steak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never tried the frozen stuff so thanks for the insight. Tend to only use beef mince for things like spaghetti , chili , or sheperds pie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclone88 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 You say your on a mission to cook this year instead of dining out but you find beef expensive in Big C. It would be 10 times more expensive to dine out so just open your wallet and release the flies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
