Now that I can't use Big C Extra bags as bin bags which ones are best to buy for small bins? and how much? size of the free green bags In the housewares aisle in Big C itself you will find the bin liners section replete with all the information you need regarding size, color and price. A whole new adventure awaits you! After all, you are the only one that truly knows the actual size of your 'small bins.' 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Skallywag Posted January 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2020 I discovered you can fill a bin without a plastic bag liner. When its full you carry the bin to your large garbage bin and dump it. Go back home and give it a rinse - then repeat! Amazing 3 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw quite a few people (Thai women) walking around with some big shopping bags on their arms. I only go to Big C once every 2-3 months, and buy a whole trolleys worth. we took some big IKEA bags which I carried, easily the size of an empty rucksack and nothing was said. There was a few pics on social media, people walking out of supermarkets with plastic buckets and fishing nets full of shopping. Seems like things are changing here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume that Big C (and others) will be having a knee-jerk reaction to this new policy and there will be lots of new job opportunities as store security walking the aisles. Those entrusted with watching the store security cameras screens are going to start doing what they're paid to do. As for personal shopping bags bags being allowed in Makro, maybe it depends on your location? The uniformed greeters at Udon Makro didn't permit it but I would assume that policy may have been relaxed now? I always brought my own bags anyway, folded up and tucked into my waistband at the back of my shorts and under my t-shirt and would transfer from cart to bag after leaving the store.

Amazing just dump it over the gate into the soi.... what the stray dogs dont get the cheap labour from LAOS will sweep it up, if not the 90yr old lady certainly one of the 10 children she has in tow will.

Have never shopped at Makro due to that (and in years past no children policy - talking taking children to buy what they like. Not having bags made it impossible to use taxi service (which they seemed to discourage with no way to get a waiting taxi and long walks to streets). Have shifted to mostly home ordering these days and interested to see what happens there as currently no bags request has still been bags is using supermarket normal motorcycle delivery service.

Stevemercer Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 My wife brings bin liners back from her visits in Australia. They come in a roll so are very compact, easy to tear off, and not messy in storage. There is about 100 on the roll, enough for a year. They are super tough and come with tie corners. They are also lightly scented with eucalyptus. Cost is about 150 Baht, available in Coles or Woolworths, Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
