Whats the most expensive food you have bought here? I DID NOT BUY IT but the most expensive common item I've seen recently is this maple syrup at a local store. 790 THB is dear IMHO. A friend suggested it's so expensive because it has the Canadian flag (original) but that hardly justifies the price for me. I wouldn't pay that much for maple syrup regardless of its country of origin. I nevertheless shop at and like the market where I saw this. Link to post Share on other sites

Toosetinmyways 307 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Official import rates for processed food is minimum 30% to maximum 50%. Fresh meat fish fruits and dairy products is 30% to maximum 55%. From Thai customs website. Of course what you actually pay is up to them. Link to post Share on other sites

IIRC a tin of corned beef was about that (maybe even 395) in Villa but I bring mine in from Singapore where it's < s$4 (< 100 THB) a can A timely reminder, I'm pretty sure I've run out so will need to bring some back with me on tomorrow's return.

To answer the question though I do like me a Wagyu Tomahawk steak but at Bt.4500 I have had to slow down a bit on them until the AUD bounces back. Spam is different, you aren't British are you.

I can eat anywhere I want and tell my wife to order anything she wants. Rayong not Bangkok. I can buy any phone I want. I can tell my driver to drive anywhere I want. I can stop at the local place and choose any company I want. I live where I want, had the furniture I want custom made. I make my own food and buy anything I want to accomplish that. I cure corned beef and ham. One of the nicest things is doing what I want to do and that is priceless. marcus, years ago l too made corned beef at home, simple really. do use aussie brisket? corned beef on rhyevbread, large pickel, etc. yum. i may make some this week.
