The Open Market in Hilo and Puna (Maku`u) has people who sell the shredders, green thai papaya (shredded and not shredded), and some of the thai herbs you might need. I was also so excited to find a vendor at the Hilo Open market who had fresh galangal. So sorry for being greedy but when I find galangal, I buy all of it and take it home and plant it in my garden but that was only twice and I'm hardly ever at the Hilo Open market. I love, love, love thai food. I will be willing to share a galangal root for your garden cause sharing is caring and the basis for growing our own food at our houses.
