They must be left over from last year in that case.
I know why none have been imported from the USA since May.

No I was waiting for Christmas. I'll look into that. Our chicken house is falling down, I already decided not to breed uneatable chickens any more so maybe turkeys would be an idea. If you say they are tough I'm sure that this is a feed problem, so my turkeys would doubtless be more expensive than the ones you have been trying.

Ask Paul near Prasat re the feeding of turkeys,he's been breeding them along with Chickens &Guinea Fowl for a good few years .He still has not overcome this problem.No doubt you will know more than he does on this subject.

I tried to find turkey with Paul, the usual frozen places in Amphur Muang, and the folks in BKK.  I couldn't find a turkey before thanksgiving.  Oh well, stuffing and gravy makes thanksgiving.  Chickens can pass for the bird.  Anyone found Pumpkin pie?

Fortunately we do ham for Christmas.  That we found.

The turkeys they have are left over from last year...........Last Year Turkeys were costing 150 baht/kilo..........This year the same bird is costing 650baht/kilo.That is why the 3 they have there are likely to stay there.If he was willing to waste his money ,just to have a 'turkey 'for Thanksgiving,It looks like you are overpaying him!!

If your talking about Bob, then he IMO deserves it, even on his day off he answers his phone and follows up right the next working day. And is he not allowed to buy himself a treat, or is that forbidden ?
