Have you checked the price? 4 times then what you would pay in Germany. No thanks. This is why I was asking for local products, if there are any... Make your own, jar it hot and will keep for a long time. We have a glut of mangoes and I have been making mango chutney, could have been cooked meat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap Charlie’s even in those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to think how they would have implemented social distancing in those days, maybe put the cold war on lockdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacessit Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I get sai ua ( Northern Thai herbal sausage ) fresh from a shop near the Clock Tower in Chiang Rai. Doubt a virus could live in it. Plus sweet chili sauce, mashed potato and a beer, very tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
