Bosse137 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Congratulations You guys ARE growing. Yeah,great...! That`s what I was thinking,no need to go all the way to Khon Kaen any moore..Well,as it turned out,some of the things I wanted was sold out,others they did not have in their sortiment,eg,Kavli crispbread and Hahne musli.To their credit,they did respond to my e-mail about this,and explained,that this is a small store,which can not have all the sortiment,that the bigger one´s have.OK,fair enough,but fact is,that this outlet has almost nothing for "farangs",nothing that you can´t already buy in other places in Chumpae.So,very disapointing,expected too much I guess....

Issangeorge Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Tesco have what I call their Bangkok stores and Issan stores and the Issan stores are useless for farangs. Now Big C as far as I know only has one type of store and it always has farang friendly merchandise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As all Tesco are not the same throughout the Isaan region, makes sense to "market" towards the respected locale. One could even extend the same to the Big C chains - they're not similar to one another either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
