mssabai Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 News fresh from the Tessaban - Big C dead cert...opposite girly bars in Ban Tai. Wonder how long it will take them to throw this one up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbk Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Interesting, because my husband heard from the owner of the land that it was not on, only a couple of months ago. He also heard from the owner of another piece of land in Ban Kai that it was going in there, the land had been bought and paid for, this a couple of weeks ago. I hope you are right that it is in Ban Tai, as I really do not want a Big C that close to my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angiud Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Do you mean the big flat land (owner Lipipong) where they sometimes organize a market?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbk Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 That's the one she means. It is owned by the LimPiPong family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mssabai Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 Yep it's the Limpipong land by the klong. Wonder what impact it will have on the lady bars? Doesn't fit exactly the wholesome image large brands like to manufacture! And no of course there isn't a need for a Big, just like there is no need for 3 7-11s within 5 mins walk of each other in the centre of TS!

mssabai Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 Oh and like Tesco, the land is of course rented...who would ever sell it when you can just raise rents every year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mssabai Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 I heard they were putting one opposite Phantip shopping arcade where some buildings were demolished - haven't been down to see though. Maybe just an ugly rumour, but I wouldn't put it past them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunlife2000 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 i think he means the new one near the long shot bar. the place thats just being demolished, near the banks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mssabai Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 I'm a girl!!! And yes that's the one I meant. Is that a definite? And then there is the new one as well on the way out to Cha'lum at the petrol station that someone else mentioned and I am sure many many more planned. Why own your own shop when you can work in a 7-11 eh? Isn't odd how extreme capitalism starts manifesting itself as communism? Now more private enterprise, instead everyone works for either Tesco, Big C or 7-11... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbk Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 ? mssabai, do you know what the employees at 7-11 make? I sincerely doubt they could afford to open their own shop if they are working for peanuts at 7-11. So, A did open a 7-11 in front of his shop after all, I had heard about it last year but figured it wasn't going to happen after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I mean is if 7-11 forces the closure of small shops, where do those people end up working? My boyfriend's mum used to have a very small roadside food place further south. Tesco opened, she went out of business and now she works in Tesco for 200 baht a day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
