Everything is in English, predictable, has the food card system. Also, a lot of older guys that need to rest and take a break after shopping because they are older. This time of year, all the Malls become a place were people can get out of the heat, and maybe socialize with fellow nationals. It is also a mall easily accessed both on foot and by vehicle. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they even eat at all, most of the farangs I see at the food court are they just to sit and chat with other farangls like them for hours, no food trays in front of the lot. As for the food, it's ok for a quick cheap clean meal, not off some filthy street food cart. As for the farangs, I'll sit towards the center or back of the court of/when I eat there (almost never) but I do bring my 4 y/o nephew to the playland about once a week. Old guys on a pension want to sit in a clean air conditioned place to chat with others? They don't bother me, I just won't sit near them. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwood1 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 (edited) I use to have them gill up some food in the meat department and eat in the food court....But they raised the meat prices sky high now....I no longer shop for meat at Big C, I now go to Makro...... I think the best bet now is to get a sub at subway and eat in the food court....That is if you dont mind all the dirty cheap charlie expats....lol Edited April 11 by redwood1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their age or their class? Old guys on a pension, like me, tend to dress nicely (read cleanly,) and mind our own business. Like most customers who eat there actually. And unlike the other kind of farangs: gruffy-looking, sweaty, red-faced ones in shorts and pony tail, running around barking orders in their own language to those behind the counter. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what if they do? Unbesknown to your tunnel-visioned farangs, food court is a way of life in the East. It serves a communal purpose and yes, old people are more revered here than in the West. FYI, by Thai laws the supermarkets such as BigC, Lotus are required to open year round to serve the general populace. MY local Lotus foodcourt for its post covid-reopening had all the (basic) dishes prized at 25 baht and they did that for 3 months straight. Where do you get that in your lovely West?

You are being very judgmental, it’s probably all these people can afford, criticising people you don’t even know, just because they dress down doesn’t make them lower class or bad people, what’s do you regard yourself as ? 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
