This the same CP that's one of the 5 richest families in Thailand, convenient eh and certainly not a monopoly...

It's now a total monopoly. The UK has a very similar size population but has Tesco, Asda, (Walmart owned) Sainsbury, Morrisons, Waitrose, Aldi and Lidl. Smaller but national operators Iceland and the Co-op. Not sure if Safeway still exist. May have missed some. Expansion restricted on a local basis too. 

If only we could get a Walmart here with US food

Missed Home Fresh Mart from The Mall. Central Food Hall probably belongs to Tops anyway, or rather Tops might belong to Central. Then there's Donki and Fuji (but that's small and for Japanese in Bangkok only). Then there's Foodland. I know there are several in Bangkok and at least one in Pattaya. Not sure about other places. There could be more, especially if comparing with FamilyMart - there's surely SPAR that would fit in same category. Seen several around Bangkok but they just arrived a couple of years back.

Foodland on beach rd closed the one in terminal 21 don't have as big a selection of western food

OMG. How could they let the CP Chinese communist party members buy Tesco? They already own Makro, 7-11 and Big C. This is a full travesty and complete take over of all markets..

But under payute's orders it's not a monopoly

Dutch, if it hasn't moved recently. Last I checked, HQ was in Amsterdam.

Then, my hope is gone, I remember the Dutch AH start a subsidiary here in LOS but lost that too, if I remember well it was Tops who was owns by Albert Heijn.

Looking at the photo on the OP, I really do like Altrincham.
