Pet stores in Nakhon Sawan as well as the riverside open market on the weekends also carry them.

I grew them for a while to feed my fish but found them to be too expensive in food compared to Black Soldier Fly larvae. The BSF larvae are a lot less work, grow fast on wet food scraps, and I think they are more nutrient rich. The meal worms are pickier eaters and require lots of time & energy to sort the different stages.
