Organic food in Pattaya

Organic is hard to find in Pattaya, and can you trust if the veggies and fruits you buy are really organic, unless it's imported ? 

 

Good luck and keep us posted if you find something.

I found a small organic butchers either on Pattay Nua or Pattaya Klang just yards from the malls but when I looked recently I could not find it.  I may have the business card somewhere. The vegetarian restaurants must get their supplies from somewhere. Years ago I saw shockingly priced organic herbs at the Avenue Supermarket but have not checked recently.

Sorry I don't understand.  Or are you trying to be amusing at my expense? If so why? Its a valid question. Where do you live in Pattaya? Is there an organic shop near you?
His being serious
Of all the things that Pattaya has to offer, organic food would be on the bottom of the list
It's supply and demand. The expat population are not exactly doing yoga and clean living and the Thais could care less about it since all their food is bought in 20 baht plastic bubble bags

Pattaya is fitness freak city! But I take your point.  But veganism, vegetarianism, organic food consumption is rocketing the west and so it will here eventually. As for the Thais: they might see it as a potential burgeoning market. Just as they have with natural herbal cures and as they are with seeking to control the rights over the medicinal use of medicinal Thai marijuana.

Fitness freak is true but let's let's not confuse steroids with organic lol

Im in Pattaya ATM but live in BKK and gourmet market and other supermarket chains do have organic but it's a different demographic so there is a bigger demand

Yes but is it organic ?  

The best vegetarian place in Pattaya is Five Star J in Pattaya Tai, not far from Friendship . 

You might want to ask the owner, a German where he gets his veggies from. I would be surprised if they are organic.

And I would recommend a meal in his restaurant, it's really tasty food, even vegetarians in Bangkok travel here to visit his place .

Tesco on Sukhumvit sell organic pork.

 

There's a few BetterGro shops around Pattaya as well that claim to be organic but I've never tried them.

Would someone explain how the pork became organic? is it because it was fed with organic stuffs? Like?

They drink organic water.

Oh ok, wait a minute let me just write it down first, "They drink organic water", I have seen pigs eating shit laying around the floor. That's also organic ?

I have also heard some greedy farmers forces fed pigs with water to increase their weight before they weigh them so they get better price.

They do that with frozen fish they pump water into the fillet of fish and then frozen them . Bastards.

When I lived in Goa in Anjuna beach around 73/4 the only toilets were the local pigs. You squatted over a high millstone and the pigs rushed to eat everything left on the ground below. But it is possible to feed pigs with organic food just as specialised foods are fed to pigs that are used for palma ham and serrano ham, chestnuts and acorns etc.

If I don't put chemicals on my plants(veggie) when I grow them does that counts as organic?

when they say organic pig it kind of get on my nerves really.

Oh ok I see what it means now. If previously some idiots put lots of chemicals in the soil and me not knowing that I grow my veggie there so my veggie can't be organic at all.

What if I buy lots of good soil (tested for non chemicals in soils) put them in containers(plastic or concrete) and grow whatever I want then I believe it's organic . I am eating - me and my family so who cares if it is not certified as organic or not.

Thanks for your good info on this subject, cheers.

I am unclear as to the sincerity or logic of your response. Were you trying to be funny or clever? Either way: you failed.

Yes that's basically what organic means, organic meat usually means not grown with the routine use of antibiotics,growth hormones and not feeding them the ground up bodies of other dead animals.when I read the list of ingredients on some food packages I wonder if there is anything organic in it at all it all seems to be from a factory and lab.I just wash all my vegetables and salads to get rid of surface chemicals, blanch them to kill the bacteria and cross my fingers and hope for the best.

Good luck with your search. If you find anything labeled as organic, it will most likely be fake and nothing more than a ruse to inflate the price.

For veg, maybe try Makro, they do sell quite a lot of imported stuff.

I have visited the shop today.it is excellent. You do not know what you are talking about. The European owner and his thai partner are are extremely knowledgeable in the area of nutrition and related matters. If you are interested I suggest you visit there. If you are not interested i suggest you cease your childish trolling.
