The Cost of Fresh Fruit, Vegetables, Seafood and Meats in Thailand

Membership site now open: http://retirecheap.tv/members -- Do you like to cook? I have a lot of requests for what the prices are for fresh foods in Thailand. Let's take a long tour through the fresh market. This is a typical market with typical prices. If you go to a large chain supermarket you could end up paying a quite a bit more than these prices. I feel I covered just about everything you might want to cook with. Sorry it's such a long video but I thought instead of making short edits in the video, I would give you the full market experience just in case you find your self living over here now you know the feeling of really shopping in the market.

I just came back from a supermarket here in the west and saw MANGOSTEENS for sale 6.99 lb! Rambutans were 5.99 lb!(imported from Thailand lol) Thailand is cheap, but I have always worried about pesticide use. U seel tanker trucks spraying bushes that are placed in the medians of roads. Yeah the bushes LOOK GOOD, but it cant be too healthy. I am still amazed that the average life expectancy is about 65ish vs 83 here! Regardless, life is short and semi-retirement in LOS is the way to go!

@keenok100 From what I understand the higher life expectancy is actually due to the quickest response time of EMS in the US. I think it averages 5 minutes and saves a lot of lives.

Somebody just made a comment that Thailand doesn't have GMO because the EU would ban their products.

As for the pesticides. I soak all my fruits and vegetables in 6% hydrogen peroxide to try to rid the exterior of any residue and pests but I am not sure what is inside. But hey, You can't have everything

JC I have been watching your videos since late last year and having spent five years in Thailand, I will have to say that everything you say is SPOT ON!

@lancer89032 A little long but informative. I want to try to include some of the local ambiance in upcoming videos. It's a big reason to be here and it's entertaining as well. Thanks for your support.

@chronicreader I try. Sometimes I get behind though.

@TravInThailand Hey cool. Yea, just talk like a cave man and you got it down! As you learn, you will start putting these things together and making these kinds of cool distinctions. Good luck with your Thai.
