Depends on how you do it and who you do it with

[chanchao]

At least if you mix soft porn and food then the food is still edible afterwards.

But erm supermarket preference please? Why is the Mae Jo Rim Ping better than the rim Ping Rim Ping? (judging from the current score)

the vote only tell where do there prefer or go .

can be a simple reason cos is nearer .

as many stay on the outer ring . as more house is there .. and to stay near the river side rim ping would mean high rent unless there are staying near flood area . or choose to travel there .

personally i shop in all of them before . everyone .but i find Everyone have their special

i love BIg c nowaday whahah cos there are sexy beer girl there whhaha

[Maejo Man]

Why did you list only two of the three Rimping stores? I don't shop at either of those listed

[chanchao]

ak... I KNEW I would make a mistake.. Just vote for one of the other Rim Pings then? (or both)

> personally i shop in all of them before . everyone .but i find Everyone have their special

Ha! I did indeed notice quite a lively beer-scene there. And very cheap really. (Also vegetables at Big C (and Rimping actually) seem a lot cheaper than Tesco.. .)

But, yeah, you could actually start off a nice evening (or a ThaiVisa piss-up) at the beer center of Big C! Tell me though, weren't the girls recently forced to wear more modest outfits/uniforms?

Also: I got the impression that you could ask the beer girls to go get you food & snacks from the food center, and then just tip them afterwards? So then it's like a full service restaurant-like environment, just sit down and tell girls to go fetch beer & snacks. Does it indeed work that way?

Mae Jo branch have better "deli' items ,such as sundried tomatos, kalamata olives, feta cheese etc....And they seem to have a better lay-out than the others...Where does that "bird" shop? Thats what i wanna know..

Carrefour has the best rib-eyes followed by Tesco. I did find another place for rib-eyes near CMU. It's a bit more expensive but quite good.

The best rib-eye is to be purchased at NFP (Northern Farm Products) on Huay Kaew Rd.. It's not imported but managed by Thai-French.. Good prices too..

I come from Chiang Rai every 4-6 weeks. Carrefour for bread, Top Airport for what ever else I can't get locally. Off topic, is there a North Farm in Chiang Mai?

I agree. That's the place I was referring to in my post. I just couldn't remember the name. It's a little more expensive but the cut is quite thick and very tasty.

Pity I was hoping for a couple of kilos only so that I can get the breadmaker back up and running. However I will check out if they have packeted yeast and make do with general baking flour with some stone ground wholemeal and a crushed vitamin c tablet as an improver.

Thanks for the information
