Purchased mashed potatoes
When we flew to Thailand, we were worried about the question, is there the purees we are used to in Russia (post, how to find habitual products in Tae). No, we don’t feed them all the time, and in general, we try to buy only those that do not contain flour and starch. Usually we cook ourselves, but on the way the simplest is These are mashed potatoes. And just when moving, while you live in a hotel, not you can always cook something. Therefore, we took 10 jars with is from Russia, and it was right (I recommend). Although, as turned out to be purees in Thailand! About this below.
Food in jars here is sold only in large supermarkets: Tesco Lotus, Big C, Villa Market, Tops Market, etc., that is, not always within walking distance (in almost any homeland grocery store there). Baby food in Tae less familiar on components, his choice is more scarce, nutrition is more expensive (50-90 baht), because most often imported (Heinz). Information on pure Thai purees are written in Thai, but the ingredients are on English

Examples of flavors: apple + mango + banana, apple + banana, apple + mango, apple + currant, apple + spinach + sweet potato, sweet potato, spinach + sweet potato, parsnip + carrot + sweet potato. AT mostly fruit purees here, and vegetable habitual to us, you can say no Fish mashed potatoes did not see, the chicken met once. By the way, mashed potatoes are sold in two containers: in jars, like ours, and soft packs. The last thing is very convenient, you can feed as astronaut squeezing directly into his mouth

What else is sold in large supermarkets from baby food? There are various cereals (mainly from Nestle), milk formulas for very young children (large selection), all sorts of different muesli.

And a little on a close topic. If you need a high chair for feeding, it is worth thinking about this issue in advance. For example, on Samui we could not find anything suitable for us and regretted that they didn’t take our compact chair out of the house fits) All that we were able to find here is similar to a copy of a photo. We were not satisfied with the price (there were other wood for 4900 baht) and the lack of a normal attachment (we need, like in a wheelchair with straps over the shoulders).

Food at home
Since we feed mainly with purees only when moving, or, when we are too tired, we cook at home. Egor in the morning consistently eats oat-flakes (Oats) with chopped fruit. More often it’s a mango, but it can also be banana, papaya, dragon fruit, watermelon, an apple, or a mixture of several fruits. We also add linen Urbech, brought from Russia, is a very useful thing. However, I flax I saw in the Villa Market in Bangkok, so that in Thailand you can buy it, and then make something like that out of it.

For lunch and dinner, we make rice in a rice cooker (brown, red, black, white), chop vegetables in a blender and add some shrimp. As a rule, such vegetables: onions, carrots, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, potatoes. All vegetables are fresh and You can buy them in the supermarket or in the market. Price plus minus the same, you can see it in the photo. Also bought once frozen vegetables, but the price is about 150-200 baht per pack.

Food in the cafe and on the street
If you give a child everything that you eat, then basically nothing does not interfere with giving him any Thai food in a cafe. Just ask to be no spicy (know spicy), and you can still show on the child for any explanations, so that they would be clearer.
One of the most simple dishes, often found and adapted at the same time – Kau man gay (steam rice and chicken), that is, rice + A bowl of broth + chicken. No spices or anything, just like in Russia. Or a good breakfast dish – Kau Nyia Ma Muang (sticky rice and mango), that is, sticky rice + coconut milk + pieces mango. But it is so for a start. Then try yourself different things and decide what you can give the child.
Since Egor doesn’t eat anything like this, we are in a cafe sometimes we buy him boiled rice (steam rice / Kau) and to him, or store ched in advance bought, or boiled shrimp (kung). Just need to ask that nothing be done with them either (no salt, no sauce). You can still take the usual boiled vegetables, but we have them in the cafe has nothing to turn into a puree, so it’s for the occasion to take home and there is a cut. In general, at the moment we often just take him fresh juice without ice and sugar (no ice, no sugar), and feed it houses.

What to feed a child older or not so fastidious
If you just answer, then feed the same that you eat yourself. Rather if you like Thai food, then you and the children will be feed, and vice versa, if you don’t like it, you won’t.
I think everyone understands that Tai is not Europe, and eating habits at local residents are different from ours with you, which means that not everything can found in supermarkets (but very much), especially according to our usual price With a cafe the same situation, only Thai is really cheap food. Nevertheless, even under these conditions, it’s quite possible eat less familiar, no wonder there are so many foreigners lives Just need to cook yourself and mortgage budget for the purchase of imported products. As an option, walk on European / Russian cafes, who like more.
Personally, we found here everything that is needed. Well, maybe except several products we need that can be ordered from Russia with the opportunity. Some fruits are worth something! Immediately I remember that “paper” something that lies on the shelves with us in Moscow in the winter. Brrr— In general children, from the experience of our friends, are happy to eat local fruit, drink juices, eat thai or cooked food.
P.S. Got something to add? Please write in the comments. we there is still not so long, maybe something is not considered or forgotten.
