timballwiz Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Greetings. I've been here less than a week, but have thankfully already found a wonderful condo to rent. My next question, though, as I get ready to move out of the serviced apartment and into my condo soon, has to do with shopping and delivery. I've searched and searched on the site, but couldn't find any information for anything other than restaurant-delivery services and the odd mention of a grocery store here and there. My condo is furnished, but I've still got to buy more than a handful of household goods (from wastebaskets to linens, towels, pillows, etc.) that I'd normally, back home in the U.S., go to a Target or somesuch to buy. But then, back home, I'd also normally drive to them. (I don't have a car here, and don't plan to.) So if I go to a department store and buy more than I can carry, do any offer delivery services? Same goes for grocery stores -- from what I've read there aren't any that offer online shopping, but which offer delivery services if you do the shopping in the store? Any advice would be greatly appreciated... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doza Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Tops delivers and furniture shops / department stores usually do too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billp Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Or just hire a van and driver for the day, with the added advantage of having someone who speaks Thai to accompany you, and possibly even suggest where to go to get certain things. This outfit rents a small van, driver included, for 1500 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
