tamsin Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 For anyone wanting to open a new business which seriously addresses the needs of the local, large, farang community here in Rawai/Sai Yuan, might I suggest opening a small supermarket which does not charge up to 30%, or more, than comparable supermarkets in Chalong, for instance. Don's Mall is a complete and total ripoff, same same all of the 'exotic' (baked beans?) 'farang' items in the only supermarket in Rawai. (Please don't mention that poor excuse on the left down on the Viset Road to Rawai. We really don't need any more overpriced restaurants run by the inept.

Ping Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I am waiting with amused anticipation at the responses you will get from people up in the boonies (given that you are only a stone's throw from Big C, Tesco and Central ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choppychugger Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 "We really don't need any more overpriced restaurants run by the inept." What's your point, overpriced restaurants or limited choice of grocery stores? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuandchris Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 PNS opposite Nikita's is ok, dog food even cheaper than supercheap and you can get most stuff there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naka Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Sounds like a move to Patong is in order. Naka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geriatrickid Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Sounds like a move to Patong is in order. Naka. Well....... Patong works if you are prepared to leave town for the beach at Karon and don't go outside the secure compound.... I love the close convenience of Jungceylon & Carrefour. It's a pleasure to be able to walk there without the hassles of navigating traffic. Mind you I have to navigate the entertainment trade, dazed tourists and touts that leap at you.

Khun Jack Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 As we live now more than seven years now in Nai Harn, I would say that there is a shortage of good restaurants here for a descent price. The bakery Flin(t)stone is a ripoff compared with the bakery in Carrefour and we never shop at Don's mall but visit that supermarket opposite of Nikita.

tamsin Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 As we live now more than seven years now in Nai Harn, I would say that there is a shortage of good restaurants here for a descent price. The bakery Flin(t)stone is a ripoff compared with the bakery in Carrefour and we never shop at Don's mall but visit that supermarket opposite of Nikita. The one that never gives you a till receipt? I go there if I need just one or two items as tired of standing watching the till. Although never got overcharged, short changed after they saw I was watching it. And to the other posters: Yes but this isn't 'upcountry' upcountry, and No, I'm not a sex tourist so why would I want to live in the cess pit that is Patong?
