kjun12 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Why does Thaivisa close all topic postings about Villa Market? Are you afraid of comments that would say negative things about Villa Market? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puccini Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I have not seen any "topic postings about Villa Market", no doubt because I do not read all topics on this forum. Would you care to give a link to one of these topic postings so that I and other readers may know what you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) https://www.thaivisa.com/forum/forum/234-latest-offers-with-villa-market/ The OP has answered his own question. It's advertisement and the advertiser will probably not like comments except "brilliant". Edited November 16, 2018 by KhunBENQ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naboo Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 What's the point in making it a topic then? Why not just make it an advertisement banner. Which is what it is. ProAuto sponsor the Chiang Mai forum. They run a thread where they promote their business. People join in and most, if not all, post good things about the company. Because it is a good, honest company. What have Villa Market got to hide? It's immediately clear to me which is the better business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokie36 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Strange really as Villa Market in my opinion is a perfectly good supermarket. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoshowJones Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Some of Villa markets prices for western food are way over the top. Maybe Thaivisa recognise this and are doing this in their members interest.???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmen Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Villa market is a rip off. All of their not so fresh meat and Veges, fruit is double that of Tesco. I recently saw a head of lettuce imported from the USA for 300 baht 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spidey Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) Usually buy pack of six large crumpets from Siamsburys for 99 baht. Locally produced and not a patch on Warburton's in the UK. Went in Villa the other day, pack of six small crumpets, locally produced, 204 baht! Have bought them before at a much lower price, slightly better than Siamsburys but much smaller, but 204 baht, they're having a laugh! Pack of 9 Warburtons crumpets (probably the best crumpets in the world), 50 baht in the UK. Edited December 1, 2018 by Spidey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoreFarang Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 It seems there are huge difference from Villa Market to Villa Market. The, as far as I know, original Villa Market near Sukhumvit Soi 33 has lots of things which are not available in other markets. And they have (or at least had when I was there) good staff who cared about what they were doing. Other Villa Markets, i.e. in Sukhumvit Soi 11, are far away from that standard. Personally I only buy in Villa Market things which I don't get anywhere else. Many everyday items are cheaper and same or better quality i.e. in Foodland and especially in the fresh market. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spidey Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Just now, johng said: Yes but what butter (at what price) to be putting on those crumpets ??? You can't put a price on good butter. Many places sell Lurpack, salted or unsalted here. I personally like Allowice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butter is not cheap in Thailand but do you really think about if you can afford a pack of butter? If you need it buy it. And if you want the more expensive brand then buy it. It shouldn't be such a big expense that you have to think what else you can't buy because you bought that expensive butter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes being a "Cheap Charlie" ???? ....I think about how expensive butter is here, not that I can't afford it it just grates on me especially when I buy Anchor butter from New Zealand which is supposed to be under the ASEAN free trade agreement similar with cheese,wine + beer from Laos all too expensive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
