oldies1 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 For several days I've been trying to find a place in Pattaya where you can buy fresh (pepper)mint leaves to put in lemon juice or in a mojito I tried BIG C, central festival, Tops (they show it online but will not be in stock again due to poor quality as I was told)... I tried the Buokhaw market but they shook their heads as "i don't have it", "I don't know what you ask". And yes I used translating apps and showed pics... If anyone can put me out of my misery here, thank you ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user343434 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 you can buy Plants in the Sukhumvit Plant Market from Friday to Sunday. Just a little further than Bangkok Hospital opposite side. Put them in a bigger pot or direct in the ground and you will have a weed growing taking over your entire garden if wished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vogie Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Just bought a big bunch of mint leaves in Sattahip for 10 baht at the new Tesco Lotus there. Have put them all in a big mason jar (1.5L) and put a full bottle of Sang Som and left to marinate, beginning to smell pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gk10002000 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 ask any of the viet pho shops in town where they get theirs? Don't they use those sprigs in their soup? Or is that spearmint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
