AsiaWolfie Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I found that the CARREFOUR at Rama IV has by far the widest selection of French-/German-style breads, many of them wholemeal and multigrain. The ones at ON NUT and LAT PHRAO are not too bad as well. In general, Carrefour is the best option for bread, compared to Tesco or Big C (they have nothing comparable), but the selection varies. the more Farang live in the area, the more West-European-style bread you will find available. For example, there is an almost deserted Carrefour at Samrong, where very few Farang live, and they have a very limited selesction only, certainly due to low demand.... some of the FOODLANDs have an extra space for a bakery-outlet as well, they do have some nice breads usually.... If you prefer a small shop, the Delikatessen-shop at the German restaurant "BEI OTTO" at Sukhumvit (near to Phrom Phong), which is running succesfully since decades, has a very large variety of yummie breads...... enjoy !

Momenthai Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Villa do some good European Style Breads definitely with no sugar...I assume they sell them in all their branches, I have seen them in Lang Suan, Sukhmvit 33 and Sukhmvit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markuk Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 the german bakery as mentioned is good and carefour has a better selection than Tesco. there is also a bakery behind Villa on 33/1 that is worth trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutsiwarrior Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 be advised that if you are in the provinces or otherwise not near any falang areas the best you can expect are the hot dog buns at your nearest 7-11...(the ones that come with hot dog included) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratcatcher Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 I am a bread lover and have the waist line to prove it. With regard to European style bread, some of the suggestions above are great. I was in Siam Paragon recently and right outside their supermarket is a bakery called Saint Etoile that makes great baguettes,thin loaves and rolls,very good. Also Yamazaki in some shopping malls usually The Mall, has good baguettes. Tops in Central Chidlom basement has great bread as well. In soi 35 I think, right next to The Bull pub, there is Custard Nakamura that also has very good bread of most kinds except the heavier German rye types. Not far from Villa Phrom Pong. Bread and marmite. Yummy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukkha Posted May 28, 2006 Author Share Posted May 28, 2006 Great suggestions from you all, have done the Etoile in Paragon, but no multigrain and they vouch that there is no sugar in the loaf I bought, but who knows...am a slack arse so will not be buying a bread making machine but a good tip anyway, La Boulange in Convent openly said they use sugar..I think most of them think I am a mad farang when I question about the sugar content as for thais Sugar seems almost as important as MSG...any way we all know man/person does not live by bread alone but being an Aussie I prefer it to rice which, in the white variety, is heavy with sugar also..brown rice is the way to go apparently, and of course cannot live without the ubiquitous potato/spud either..thanks to all who bothered to offer advice, this is the great part of TV, people willing to help out those of us who may be ignorant of things Bangkokian...Kop Khun Krup Dukkha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donna Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 one of my fave bakeries is Bangkok Baking Co in the Marriot on Suk 2. They have great stuff there. and for those of you who DO like sweet stuff (not you dukkha - you are sweet enough already) their Toffee Banoffe is simply the best!

Khun Yak Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Beside all the mentioned places you can try the bakery/coffee shop "Gourmandises" beside the main entrance of Nai Lert Park Hotel on Witthayu. They got quite a good choice and I am certain that they also produce on request. Try them, they might help you out with your diet requirements. Cheers, KY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukkha Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 Thanks Khun Yak..Have found the multi grain, no sugar at Central Childdom along with lots of other delish stuff...65 baht a loaf but whose complaining...but will definitely check out Gourmandises as well...such a comfort that there are people on TV who are willing to be a help and support, not often found in the west, but then they dont need a thread for 'Bread' and such like things, life as an ex-pat I guess..

taxout Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 The French bread at the Japanese bakery on the upper floor of the Emporium -- inside the department store next to the mini-food court -- is great. It sells out quickly, though. They do keep bringing new stuff out but you can never be sure they'll have what you want when you make the trek up there.

The Skipper Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 . Most 5 star hotels have bake shops, check there. The JW Marriot on Sukhumvit has a nice selection and Ronald will fix you up if you ask nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukkha Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 WOW, I think I could now do a tour of bakeries in Bangers for Farangs with all this great info from interested posters...everyone has been so helpful and it seems I am not the only one who is searching for BREAD in a SEA of RICE...cheers to all those who have been extremely helpful to this old fart on his search....

mobiryder Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 'Danish Bakery' bread is some of the best I've had in Thailand. Its available at many of the higher-end grocery stores carry it, also Villa near soi 33.. Behind Villa Soi 33 there is an(The?) actual "Danish Bakery". I believe Paragon, Chitlom etc carry Danish Bakery brand as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
