Thanksgiving in Thailand?

[Ahab]

Does anyone celebrate Thanksgiving in Thailand.  Can you buy a turkey, cranberries, and spices such as sage? My wife says that she has seen Turkeys for sale, but I never have.

Makro has frozen Turkeys.

But some locals also raise them:

That is very awesome.  Thank you urleft. I am sitting in my backyard cooking a 20 lb. turkey in my Webber grill.  It will be very good. Hope everyone in Thailand had a good Thanksgiving day (yesterday).

A frozen Turkey 'awesome'........Come on Ahab you can't be serious.

The awesome was for the fact that I could buy a turkey in Buriram. As long as it is not freezer burned frozen turkeys are OK. Hell, we normally cook turkeys that have been frozen even here in Hawaii. The stores here run specials on the turkeys to get people into the store and then gouge you on everything else. We got a 9 kg frozen turkey for 210 baht (not per lb), and bought nothing else except some beer and wine. Cooked it on a webber charcoal grill in my backyard and it was very good.

Isn't much of the expat food that foriegners eat in Thailand frozen?

Cheers,

Quote from the movie Airplane. 

Surely, you can't be serious? I am serious, and don't call me surely.

Of course he can. 

Unless you are butchering the turkey yourself, the frozen turkey can be in effect "fresher".

A frozen turkey is butchered then immediately flash frozen while a fresh turkey is butchered they moved to the store to sell ageing in the process.  Also there should be a date on the frozen turkey.

Through most of my life we normally had at least 2 turkeys a year (Thanksgiving and Christmas), and really had some excellent frozen ones.  For the last 10 years I would cook them in Renyolds turkey bags in the oven, never had a bad one using that method.   

As far as taking pictures in Makro, I do it all the time, no one from the stores has ever tried to stop me.  I normally use the philosophy "It is better to ask forgiveness than permission."  which drives my TG nuts  as that is not the Thai way.

Indeed. I always find Big C more picturesque.
