Big C now cheaper than expat shops
My gripe with Lotus is they have so many products with no price in the food section, seems nearly everything I want has no price This includes the Sukhumvit Road Lotus big store Pattaya, and the two Lotus Fresh stores in Pratumnak that I use. I would not be surprised to see the one on soi 5 near the beach Pratumnak close, now the other one is open on the hill

The ‘Great Scare of 45’ and Bonnie Prince Charlie?

Where has all the the 'light' beer gone?
Old thread, but large bottles of Sam Miguel Light are no longer it seems, shame, it was my "at home beer" I did an AI search, this is the reason - Large bottles of San Miguel Light seem to have disappeared or become rare in Thailand due to shifts in local beer market focus (more towards Leo, Chang, Singha), changing consumer tastes (health-conscious options like San Mig Zero), distribution changes (like Budweiser taking over the license from Carlsberg), and potentially reduced demand for large formats in favor of smaller, more convenient sizes, though exact reasons vary by location and time . Distribution & Licensing: Carlsberg lost the San Miguel license to Budweiser Brewing Group in July 2024, which can alter product availability.
