Do you like cheese?

You probably do if you're from continental Europe, especially the French.

But well, the Thais do not really like cheese. Or said differently, Thais never tasted cheese when they were young and hence, are not used to the taste. And the smell. So they do not buy it and no cheese is produced in Thailand.

And for cheese lovers, the only choice is the imported ones.

And imported means not really cheap. Photo taken in Carrefour Bangkok 2 days ago.

But did I say it is expensive...?

Baht 498 is more than Euro 10

So, if you can't live without cheese and come to Thailand, bring some with you...

Re: Cheese in Thailand

Cheese in France is very good, but in Italy ... tooooo! Yes it is true, if it is not a tradition is not easy, I did't know that in Thailand you are not used to eat cheese! Thanks for the information!
Greetings from Italy

Don't really need to pay that much for cheeses, President and Bayson are just marked up greedily. There's plenty of good alternatives in Tops, Villa and Foodland. Plenty of really good quality Brie, Camembert, Blue cheese etc. such as Australian Gold and Tasmanian Heritage with prices less than 200 baht per pack!
