Its good albeit imported and expensive!
All the more reason to make your own!
What is your local livestock?
Howdy Nick, welcome to this forum.
I think you are our first Member located in Thailand, thus I've just added Thailand to our member locations sticky post in this Board and added Thailand to our Geographic Board in case you or anyone has any Thailand specific posts (https://cheeseforum.org/forum/index.php?board=86.0).
My family and I lived in Brunei for 5 years we had a 2 weeks vacation in Thailand @ 2000, probbaly changed a bunch since then. My wife would love to retire there, but too humid for me.
Hello Nick pleased to meet you!
Thailand, man, I don't even want to think about the funky molds and critters that might inhabit your cheese cave.
I spend 3 years in the the PI, in and out of the various jungles around there. Lots of "stuff" grows everywhere.
Good morning Nick and welcome to the forum. What cheeses have you tried to make so far?
Welcome, what kind of cheese are available there? Any local cheese we've never heard of?
UK? I guess you can try rice wine and stilton? ;D
Hi everyone and thanks for the warm welcome. I get almost all variety's of cheese albeit imported mostly from NewZealand.. As far as I know there is no company manufacturing it in Thailand, its all imported! Thais don't like cheese much.. They prefer rotten fish. (I am not kidding) its called Bala.
It's all about controlled spoilage!
Hello Nick
Nice to meet you here.
Have you ever try Bala ? It's good. ;)

Hi Kai,
Yes I did try it once. It is definitely an acquired taste!! Do we have another Thai member here
I think , 2 of us for now.
where do you live?
I live in BKK.
Hi Nick (and Kai!)
I'm Kevin, aka shoelessone. I just wanted to say hi, this past summer I backpacked around SE Asia for 6 months, and spent about 2 months in Thailand, 3 or so weeks in BKK. I have very fond memories of Thailand and really miss it. I really liked BKK also, I stay for about two weeks near the #1 Lumpini park subway exit, my girlfriend and travel partner did step aerobics every night at 6 in Lumpini park. I really miss it, and hope to go back someday soon (happy to know of any companies looking for an American Computer Science person? ;))
Anyway, just wanted to say hi, I'm new here also (this is my first post!), good luck with your cheese!
Somewhat cheese related (but not really): I also really miss being able to find the "coffee" flavored milk. Oh, and I miss going to Siam Paragon and listening to this song: Thai Movie Intro We love the King (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFG7iAw9FhU#hq) - any idea where I might be able to find that exact version of the song? I only heard it in Siam Paragon...

It's same song but different style.

I am not far from you in Chonburi. I can't find any raw milk but I have found raw goats milk. What about you?
Hi Nick, I was in Viet Nam, P.I., and Thailand during the "conflict", and I love Thailand. Some of the greatest people in the world. I only saw Bangkok, Ubon and Udorn; but I love the country. There was a "native cheese" in the P.I. that was fantastic and I'm wondering if the Thai's have something similar?

I know Udorn Tani and Uborn Tani very well. I am not sure about native cheese I have never heard of it?
I have only a raw goat milk too.
Nick, If you are in Chonburi
You can get a raw milk from Ban Buang diary co-op.

Kai, thank you so much!!!! This is excellent news. I have been searching for a long time. I can't wait, I will go today.
Hello Nick and welcome to the cheese forum.
Hey Nick, welcome to the forum. We live in two different worlds - Michigan & Thailand - but I'll bet we can benefit each other.
P.S. I would love to hit Thailand some day.
Zinger, what did Thailand ever do to you? ;)
Well Wayne - now that you mention it - Thailand exported it's cuisine, and that hasn't been good for my waistline! ;D
I love southeast Asia. I spend 3 years of my life bouncing between Okinawa, Philippines, Korea, Taiwan, surrounding islands.
I love the food and the area..
left there in '87. Would love to go back someday.
Well people,
If you ever decide to head out this way, I can help out.
Don'r worry Zinger, when I was younger I would take a hit of Thailand frequently
