Lacessit Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Some Thai quack apparently was on Facebook claiming egg protein was a corona virus prophylactic. So everyone rushes out to buy them. I saw a couple in Chiang Rai who loaded up with two full shopping trolleys, hope they go rotten on them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madam Moon's sister-in-law has a very productive brood of hens and we get first pick before the eggs leave for market. We're very unlikely to go short. Which is just as well 'cos I luv 'em. Hmmmm. It just occurred to me that the neighbors chickens have not been roaming about as usual. Quarantined or chicknapped? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerryd Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Yeah, read somewhere a couple days ago that some (Thai) doctor type had gone on about how the coronavirus couldn't penetrate an egg shell so people suddenly started buying up eggs, for much the same reason they were buying up toilet paper ('cause they're ID-10-Ts).

sandrabbit Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) The village momma poppa shops have plenty of eggs but the supermarkets do seem to be stripped of them. I want to know who the evil people are who are hoarding fish fingers, went to Makro yesterday and there were none left.

4evermaat Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Local Egg farm near Chumphon is out of stock. Hot season + mild panic buying has them out of stock now as of a few hours ago. Not sure about Makro/other places in Chumphon. But the word is getting around though, and causing some locals to take eggstreme measures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This latest lot from a friend who has a shop who told her she paid 140 baht for them in the main market this morning, but had to buy 5 trays as they wouldn't sell singles, and we can believe that because my wife yelled out from the car this morning when we were there, any single trays she yelled as we could see the 5 trays bundled, well what was left of them, about 5 x 5 and they said 140 baht per tray, but you have to buy 5 trays, we declined, don't have that big a family and already have 2 trays x 30 which now brings it to 3 x 3 trays of 30 eggs and with 6 of us, they won't last long, rashen times for the family ????

connda Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 3 hours ago, webfact said: The price of eggs has increased due to hoarding by people worried about the Covid-19 virus – and the rising summer temperature making hens less productive. For 'city Thais' who buy their eggs from retailers who buy their eggs from feed-lots. In rural villages? I can throw a rock in just about any direction and hit a hen-house. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
