^^ Afarang, that food looks amazing! How did you go about arranging that? Do you buy the groceries yourself or is that outsourced too? Seems like you are living the dream!
Buy it myself from Tesco/Tops. Both have pre packed sources such as red/yellow/green curries, masamans etc. I usually buy that, about 500g of chicken for 50 baht and then veggies, and coconut milk. Follow the instructions and there you have it. Or you could buy the stuff and get a girl to cook it.
A few of the pre made sources have an ingredient list in english, and mentions they do not contain any MSG, additives etc. I always pick them.
Off the top of my head this would be the pricing for a home made meal.
500g of chicken fillet = 50 baht (65-70 baht for breast)
packet of source = 17 baht
veggies = 10-30 baht
coconut milk = 23 baht
Rice = 3 baht per meal
The list above would get me 4-5 meals, which works out around 25baht per meal. I do add salt and stuff so you could add that into the costs, but still would not go over 30baht meal.
