She said the programme will set standard prices for khao kaeng, the Thai style of fast food with rice and one dish. Prices for the dishes tend to increase during periods when living costs are high.

It's very good to control the prices, but I have doubt about one thing. It is going to work? I am not an expert, how can we keep Kao Kaeng at low price, if everything else are expensive. High food cost, expensive ingredients etc. Somehow vendors need to make profit too.

Why don't they also stop the price rise of politicians wages? Don't think that will happen.

You know some of the QA tests that CP show on TV about there products, sorry but no one has the technology as yet to do some of those things. others would take them years to do if they did on every single item of a product, as they say they do.

never forget to watch the Cp advert on Tv then you will know the truth. Empty shop, no real customers, all buying CP products. I have never been in a shop in Thailand the same as the one in the adverts for CP. This should answer the question. ( my previous posts about this have not been shown here. I wonder why?) I and my wife who is Thai have checked about the UK, sorry but it is correct about CP. No factories in the UK also. Its the first that the Thai people in the northwest know about factories. Even Wing yips does not know of any.

We understand the needs and demands of UK consumers, and our teams of development chefs are constantly creating new delicious recipes.

Where in this does it prove that they supply the UK?

Sat next to an executive from CP on a plane into London Heathrow last year. He advised me they ship a considerable amount of chicken into the UK every month. A good percentage of it ready cooked.
