Where can I have turkey this thanksgiving in Bangkok?

OK so I'm up in Isaan and was contemplating buying the 3 pound frozen Butterball roast at TOPS but instead opted to buy 2 fully-cooked charcoal rotisserie chickens and do the mashed potatoes & snap peas myself. The Thai folk loved it as well. My new Thailand Thanksgiving tradition: I just pretend the Pilgrims found some wild chickens instead of a turkey.

I hear from time to time, and read here in some past news articles I think, about some farang turkey farmer or farmers out the Hua Hin way, and perhaps elsewhere.

And yet around the holiday times, at least in the markets, I've never seen fresh, locally grown turkeys on offer -- only the frozen imported kind.

Kind of makes me wonder if anyone's actually raising turkeys in Thailand, and if so, where are they ending up?

Most Thais I've encountered don't seem especially interested in eating turkey and many don't even seem to know what it is.
