OBJECTIVE: A preliminary investigation into different eating patterns among Thai consumers who shop at fresh markets as opposed to supermarkets in Chiang Mai. DESIGN: A short questionnaire adopted from a previous study was administered to the forty-four participants, who comprised supermarket users, fresh market users and people who consistently shopped at both supermarkets and fresh markets. SETTING: Participants were recruited within four fresh markets and two food courts attached to supermarkets in Chiang Mai. SUBJECTS: Chiang Mai residents who agreed to participate in the study. Equal numbers were regular fresh market and supermarket users. RESULTS: Initial results suggest an association between shopping at supermarkets and attributing bread with culinary value. CONCLUSIONS: Supermarkets may be potentially significant players in the 'nutrition transition', providing Thais more convenient shopping at some cost to their healthy food choices.
