Answer summary
The question seeks information about purchasing turkeys in Thailand for Christmas. Community members suggest various grocery stores including Makro, Tops, Villa Market, Big C, and specialty shops for both frozen and precooked options. Some emphasize the tradition of cooking turkey while others mention alternative meats. Fresh turkeys might need to be sourced from local farms, as imports are mostly precooked due to restrictions. Prices are noted to be quite high.

Dont buy it at Makro,Big C.......buy it at a farm. Much better than this industrial grap. Ask the locals around. They will know where you get it.

Beware the eye watering prices for turkey. 7kg frozen deformed thing was over 6000 baht. Better off with 3 chickens.

If you want a fresh uncooked it has to be bought fresh from a Thai farm , frozen imported are ready cooked 🤔

Key question is pre cooked or uncooked.
Most big shops have imported turkeys (butterball etc) which are all precooked since raw imports have been banned since US bird flu outbreak about a decade ago.
A smaller number of expat and specialty shops will have local grown uncooked turkeys.
The precooked are easy and nice, but lack option to cook your preferred style.
