My last attempt to show that sometimes what people say and what is the truth contradict each other. A Meiji bottle of 0% Non Fat Milk clearly labeled on the back.

Right. So it looks like 0% fat milk (I presume this is equivalent to 'skimmed' milk back in England?), at least from this brand, is indeed clearly labelled. Which leaves between 33 and 66% of milk (depending on the labelling on whatever percentage of fat 'semi-skimmed' is, and assuming all other brands label their 0% milk in a similar fashion) unclearly labelled.

There are several small dairy farms in the area and they all milk there cows twice daily. If you want to buy you generally need to get there before 07h00 or in the afternoons at around 15h30,

They sell milk by the kilogram in plastic bags for 20 baht per kilo.




Pleng, since you obviously have some difficulty buying milk in a convenience store may I humbly point you to the below, taken from an earlier thread, or alternatively send your wife/gf to the shops

To the OP......if you end up using this milk, remember to always give it a good stir or shake before you pour any out or else you'll use up all the cream and find yourself left with skimmed milk.

To find the farms, head north along the klong road; go past Palm Hills, and then take the first road on your left. Follow that road for about 3km or so until you see a big mosque on your right. Directly across from the mosque is the first dairy farm but there are several more if you continue.

Meiji label all their milk types in English at the back as per the non fat milk. I really can't believe I am responding to this thread still.

Seriously if I am not sure of what a product is I ask a Thai service staff or my girlfriend but to this day there are few products that I am not aware of what they are for which I would be interested in. In fact milk has never been an issue, it is one of the easier ones to recognise and is labeled to assist me should I wish to look.

Can I just remind a few people we live in Thailand. In the bigger scheme of things and in terms of my quality of life I can't believe we are really discussing this, I need to have a lie down as I will start having nightmares about milk labeling. On that note this will be my last post on this subject as I have far more pressing matters to deal with like identifying the cloud formations so I can post on the weather thread.

...no they don't... and this is the only reason I keep responding to this thread; people are making claims which are just not true then getting (bizarrely overly) upset when challenged.

I am holding a bottle of Meiji dark blue top milk, which I have learned from the more helpful contributions to the thread is full fat, or 'whole' milk, in my hand right now - and the only English on the entire label is "Pasturised Milk - Meiji Brand" - that is not enough information to know what product I am purchasing.

I've never bothered with asking assistants for help or asking my girlfriends because I rarely even buy milk and when I do, I've always been lucky enough to end up with one that tastes fine - but that's been due to luck and not due to clear labelling!

Sorry, but for me you have lost the plot and require a lot more help than I am willing to offer. Hopefully there is somebody else on here who has the patience to deal with such a rediculous thread. I am sorry I got involved, I am sure others are too. Is this one of those threads people refer to when they say 'it is time to go home if you really are hung up on this'. I think you will find people were trying to be helpful. By the way 'Pasteurised Milk' on the back of your bottle must be very confusing for you when you look what's on the back of the other Meji brands. You were doing well when you indicated that non fat milk must be the same as 'skimmed milk' in England. On that basis you might have a stab at what the others actually represent. Now there's a test for you

I myself really dislike the taste of milk in Thailand. Not sure why maybe I am spoiled by the free ranging organically fed raised by nuns then milked by 20 year male and female old virgins with silk gloves on their hands. Anyways I really find it uckie.

"Stay sober...

...drink milk".



The best milk I've tasted in Thailand was some stuff that a student had brought back from some popular farm. I can't think of the name of the farm right now... it's very well known. Maybe some forum member will get it before I can remember the name.

7-11.

Never does it run out of milk (in all 15 stores of walking distance).

I like the dark blue one. Full fat, I think. Tried it, liked it so carried on with it.

Back in the UK, my milkman delivered milk in glass bottles and guess what......... there was no writing on the bottle apart from the name of the dairy. I don't remember anyone complaining.

Oh, I forgot. The bottles had different coloured tops!
