Title: HELP: WHERE TO SELL MUSHROOMS IN BURIRAM & LOOKING FOR LARGE COOLERS
Post by: davelat on October 14, 2013, 11:45:34 AM
Hello there.  I have a new mushroom farm (Oyster Mushrooms for now) near my home in Lam Plai Mat with my bf.  We currently drive almost daily to Korat and sell them quickly at the large farmer's / vegetable market behind Maharaj Hospital, but at times we have a smaller quantity and not worth the drive to Korat.  So since Buriram is closer, we are looking to possibly drive/sell the smaller quantities at a market in Buriram if there is such a place and looking for any help to assist us.  We would be talking anywhere from 60-100kg each time and if we were to find a regular buyer(s) like we have in Korat, we could switch to Buriram everyday and likely average 120-150kg/trip almost daily. (and more in a few months). 
 
Also, we are looking for a few 200L coolers (or any size)  that you see at all over Thailand at the restaurants/shops selling drinks etc.  You see them everywhere but having a hard time finding them for sale.  We are looking for either new or used and have attached pics of some.  (the phone numbers on these coolers are of no help)
 
Any help with either of these 2 requests is greatly appreciated and thank you ahead of time !!
 

Dave

Those boxes are quite small. In fact there's not mushroom in them at all.

THE OLD ONES ARE THE BEST LOL
my mother in law did obtain two of these from the ice company it was simply a case of calling the number on the nearest box you see and paying a small fee for the rental i think they do assume you will be buying ice from them as well though

Yes thanks but we tried that and our problem is we don't know day to day how much ice we need and we are a little isolated out where we are for them to get to.  Thanks anyways!

my mother inlaw only got ice delivered for 2 weeks and the boxes are still there after looking at the boxes they are nothing more than plastic lined polystyrene so maybe you could use the same kind of boxes as Nookie does to deliver his wares

We grow mushrooms although not the same type as you -- we grow straw mushrooms. Our agent collects every day when we are growing and quite often he takes them to the market in Prasad ( Prasat ) rather than sending them to Bangkok with the bulk of his stock.

On a different note but in line with your posting, we have two unused 200 litre cool boxes ( we bought 3 when my wife opened her shop ) for sale. We are asking 2750 baht each. To give you some idea of price comparison, today at Macro Buriram we saw 200 litre cold boxes for sale... original price 4190 baht, reduced to 3990 baht. Your gf can ring the wife and chat about mushrooms etc., etc., on 0847667122 if you are still interested.
