Jimmyd Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I passed by the Makro building site near the crappy aquarium on Sukhumvit south of Teprasit road, and they have their main sign up. There's still a lot of work going on, so obviously they won't open tomorrow, but there's definitely a huge Makro sign now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PC800 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I've talked to friends who have a card, free, I have been told. And then read the website with all kinds of qualifications of a business being necessary to get a card. Does anyone know if a non-business owner, a regular person, can get a card, and whether they would pay the same prices as a business owner?

rogercw Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I guess I am just totally stupid. I went to the link and found the Makro web site but am still not clear what it is. A Tesco clone? A convenience chain? A Costco clone? A Walmart wannabee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LennyW Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 The "Makro Girlies" were doing the rounds on Chaiyapruek 2, about a month ago, basically listen to their spiel, and recieve a card, you cannot miss them if they are in your area, four or more trucks with awesome skirlin speakers, followed by a heap of red and white stocking/scantily clad sign'er uppers?? You can go on the www.Siammakro.co.th website, but when it gets to membership sign ups, it goes all Thai, look out for the trucks/girlies in your area, easy peasy.

nam-thip Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) Makro stores don’t have fancy shop shelving or fancy displays similar to what the likes of Tesco/Lotus or Carrefour have instead it’s a no frills selling of goods in bulk from warehouse type shelving. Some years ago I went into a Makro store in Khon Kaen and some items like tinned beans etc where on the floor on pallets. It’s about the closest you’ll get to a British cash and carry store which are supposedly for business owners only. Makro claims to be for business owners but it appears anyone can get a card. The Makro store in Khon Khaen had a security guy at the entrance and if you didn’t have a Makro member card you was turned away. If the opening of the store eliminates the small mini-mart owners hogging all the tills with two or three trolley loads of cooking oil and mama packet soups in the likes of Tesco/Lotus then I’m all for Makro. I passed the place yesterday and will be most surprised if it opens next month. Edited November 12, 2009 by nam-thip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacemand Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 In the Makro in Sisaket they don't require a card so never signed up for it. What kind of advantages does it give? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
