Vegetable prices soar ahead of Vegetarian Festival
Flooding in Nakhon Ratchasima has damaged crops and hindered transport, causing sharp price increases for vegetables like Chinese kale, bok choy, and bitter melon. Prices are expected to rise further as demand increases during the Vegetarian Festival from Oct 10 to 18. Expats shopping at fresh markets will face higher costs for produce and cooking herbs.
