Cheese in Bangkok Thailand?

[Amy123]

Hi I live in Bangkok with my Family from London.

I tried to buy cheese from Foodland and Villa but all the soft cheese was cheap import and it was still rather expensive.

Is there anywhere to buy good cheese (soft/white) in Bangkok?
It doesnt need to be imported as long as it is good quality.

I really want good Cottage Cheese and white cheese maybe some herbal cheese...?

Thank you and hope i can get good advise here...

My dear Amy, I fear that, like me, you will be unable to find good reasonably priced Cheese here in LOS. Thais don't like it much, so they don't make it. Which is good 'cos Cheese is not all that good for one you know?
Beef is usually lousy too!

Avoid imported anything if possible. It is always expensive......

Hope you enjoy Thailand even if you can't get Cheese.

Hi Amy, welcome to the forum...

I'm afraid I've only come across imported, expensive cheese too, in Chiang Mai. The best suggestion I can make is ..... click here!!!

frogblogger,

That's easy? Looks like my migration to the LOS may be fromage-less!

Maybe we could all form a cheese making collective! I love cheeses - especially provolone and mozarella but also cottage cheese and most other types! Hey, we've a new goal. I'm sure there are many, many expats who are missing their cheese too.

I can't imagine you would need a work permit to make something Thailand doesn't want or make, you could sell to the pizza and Italian restaurants and to the odd Englishman [or woman] coming to the LOS to live! You would employ lots of Thais for labor, increase the revenues to the owners of the dairy cows and create income that the government could then tax! I call that a win-win deal.

Sorry S2, I'm sure you can think of better things to do with your time in LOS than make cheese!

frogblogger,

Good point! BUT today fromage - tomorrow the world! Go Cheeseheads! Hey, we could employ nothing but stunning young beauties and make the place off limits to wives. ALL wives.

S2, on the subject of young lovelies, have you seen the translator photo in my last blog post? Absolutely stunning. She gives Thai lessons too! She works from Bangkok, so maybe you'll be staying in Bkk for a few days after all ....

frogblogger,

I have NOT seen the photo. How could I have missed it? Could you shoot me a link and I'll be delighted to have a look. Hmmm, a few days in Bangkok to brush up on my Thai IS a pretty sound idea isn't it.

If she's as stunning as you say she is - and I've seen some lovely young lasses in them - then I'm sure she's a gorgeous young thing. But I'm happy to give you my opinion for a good cause!
