Opening A Makro Account In Thailand

[Forkinhades]

What do need to open a macro account in Thailand?

I also wanted to express my interest in doing this. Does it require you to be part of a corporation?

I often buy my dog food at Makro even though I'm not a member, you just write your name and date on a piece of paper when you walk in and they give you a temporary membership number for that visit. Or you can join yourself but have to spend over 2000 baht when doing so.

Just walk into Makro and fill in an application form, you will get a temporary card almost immediately and the card a few weeks later

First time I went in I was by myself, filled my trolley with what I wanted the guy at the checkout could not speak english, my Thai is not so good. So he tried to ask me for the card I just kept saying maikowjia, so he just took my money and that was it.

Walk in and fill out the application, they didn't ask me for any ID or company docs.

Card was issued immediately at Makro Chaeng Wattana

[spacemand]

In Sisaket they ask for the card but we say we don't have and they enter a number on the register something like 999999 and we pay and go never been a problem on many trips.

What are the advantages to the card? Anyone know?

[whistleblower]

As a westerner you can go in and get a piece of paper that allows you to shop. But you dont get a tax deductable receipt. If you have a registered company then all you need is to take your company registration and fill out some forms. Then the receipts you get can be passed on to your accountant for the appropriate tax deductions. If all you want to do is shop there for private reasons just walk in and ask for a 'day pass'

We have a Thai business owner friend that gave us his card number. Wife just tells the cashier that number when we cash out. It makes no difference on our purchases but he gets points and the purchase credit on his account for tax purposes. Also i think if you have a member card you can establish a credit account and pay on that account instead of cash.

Yes that's right, I just make up BS and then post it on TV! Grow up you fool, it's not BS it's what I was told by the manager of my local Makro just last week and my wife then asked other members who were shopping there if they also had to spend 2000baht before they joined and they said yes.

Makro Khon Kaen. asked for passport, no have, but have thai driver license. card issued on the spot! Amazing Thailand

[wichianburi1]

Get a Thai national to fill out the application form. I had to produce an ID; my Thai driving permit was O.K.

Can anyone tell me if this has happened today and what their stock levels on electrical gear was? I need to go to makro on Friday and I'm driving to Pattaya from Sa Kaew province, my local one in Sa Kaew is a bit of a detour so if Pattayas is open then that would be handy!

Where is it located in Pattaya?

Thanks
