Go to church? Excuse me but ALL Thai people are taught Buddhism in the school system here in thailand and for you to say MOST Thai's DONT practice Buddhism is a very racist insult. I have a life thats why I'm trying to save others. You seem to be a taker and not a giver, so why have you not been banned? Must be a hitler in control here with 2 screen names, baabaa and..... maybe parasite?

In England free range is promoted, Thais don't care where their Chicken comes from.

Most meat and poultry are strictly monitored in the UK.......this is from the RSPCA website.

RSPCA welfare standards
Helping to improve the lives of millions of farm animals
Our science team works to develop RSPCA welfare standards for each of the major farm animal species. These detailed documents are intended to represent ‘best practice’ in the care and welfare of farm animals.
They cover every aspect of the animals’ lives, including feed and water provision, the environment they live in, how they are managed, health care, transport, and humane slaughter/killing. The standards are designed to ensure that all animals reared according to the requirements have everything they need for a good quality of life, whether they are kept on large or small farms, or in indoor or outdoor production systems.
The standards are set at the limit of what is achievable, in terms of an animal husbandry and commercial viability, and aim to deliver improved animal welfare above and beyond 'standard' or typical UK production.
The standards are applied through our higher welfare food labelling and farm assurance scheme, Freedom Food, as well as being used by a variety of other bodies and individuals in the UK and beyond. The RSPCA welfare standards have had a significant influence on the animal production standards set by many major retailers for their suppliers, and on various assurance schemes in the UK and overseas. In some instances, the standards have also been used by UK and overseas governments and governmental bodies to inform legislation and associated guidance/recommendations.

Wow the colonizers of the free world here to defend themselves and there corporations from the cruel torturous evidence of corporate sweatshops. Who Owns CP? A chinese man with a fake Thai named passport. 7-11 works together with CP as well. And to quote my previous post regarding these MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS 'British bank Barclays at the top of the list. Asset managers Capital Group Companies and Fidelity Investments are in second and third, while insurer AXA and State Street Corporation round off the top five.

Interestingly, the bogeyman of financial reform champions, Goldman Sachs, placed only 18th on the list.

Clearly thy knowest not thine enemy. It is neither the unholy baabaa or the irreverent Lung Per. Thine enemy is thyself. Thou cannot reach true enlightenment until thou has vanquished thine own sin of 'zealotry'. Thy light will shine more brightly if thou burnest this sanskara in the holy fire of Yoga, then the children will see thine inner light shine like a sargeant-major's toe-caps and come unto you and prostate themselves before you to receive thine environmental blessings.

Verily, if thou followest this sage advice, thy 'final warning' will become 'guru' status.

Yes, Thais in General don't give a damn where their chicken comes from, but to be honest, the large chicken supply farms in Thailand are state of the art facilities that are kept in immaculate condition, and certainly a million times better than many of the poultry farms one sees abroad. Of course this isn't because the company director loves his chickens. The chickens are also "free range" since they are not kept in cages.

Many people feel better if the buy "free range" chicken, but are those chickens well and truly "free range". The vast majority are not


Anyway, I'm sure FROG will get it all sorted out eventually.

We buy the yellow-skinned chickens and eat duck rather than hen's eggs. Easy to find.

I think the yellow skinned ones are regular Thai chickens rather than factory reared broilers. Even so, they will more than like be on medicated feed, and have been vaccinated.

The only way you'll get real organic chicken around here is if you raise your own or buy from Thai neighbors and etc. I can comment on how the ducks are raised here since I've not really seen much of it. I do like duck eggs more than chicken eggs, but since we get our own eggs, I may as well eat them, and believe me, they are vastly different to the ones you buy in the shops.........even the so-called free range eggs.

I wouldn't know where to buy shower and toilet pruducts if not in tesco or bigC etc. I also worry that without the shopping malls there would be no bowling alleys or cinemas.
Most of the food being cooked in my family comes from the markets around town. Not sure where the products comes from but it's lower prices than tesco so can't be from there.

Most of our food comes from the markets as well, but don't for a minute think it's healthier food that what you get at the malls. Fruit and veg at the markets comes from the same farmers/suppliers. For some reason, people tend to think market produce is grown on small allotments with the use of chemicals. The Thais are obsessed with chemicals and pharmaceuticals, and most wouldn't think twice to fertilize food crops with harmful chemicals if it means they get bigger and/or more attractive produce.


If you really want to eat healthy, you have to grow your own, and as another poster pointed out, it's not cheap, and it's not easy. It seems to be reserved for two groups of people - the very wealthy who can afford to pay the high prices of quality/organic foods, or the very poor who have no option but to grow their own.
