This assistance to communities will continue.During the great flood of 2011, Tesco Lotus staff were universally praised for their efforts in supporting their communities by keeping stores open and keeping them stocked with food and other essentials.-- The Nation 2013-09-26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catmac Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 It must come as an awful shock to the elite to see a Western approach to this tragedy - helping out and giving financial assistance - rather than the Sino-Thai approach of priofiteering and screwing their neighbours in their misfortune. Well done Tesco-Lotus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucie Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Interesting. I live 5 minutes walk from Tesco Ubon Ratchathani, and didn't notice it flood... I actually parked my car in their car park to AVOID floods, as my lane was under 3ft of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Tamson Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 BANGKOK: -- Tesco Lotus announced on Thursday that despite floods in over 20 provinces, only the Ubon Ratchathani store has been so far affected. But it doesn't say to what extent the Ubon store has been effected! I've run out of pancake-mix for my waffle maker and it's only that Tesco store that have the ready made mixture - if that store is now closed, I'm sorry but I'll have to resign from TV's Happy-Chappy club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) During the great flood of 2011, Tesco Lotus staff were universally praised for their efforts in supporting their communities by keeping stores open and keeping them stocked with food and other essentials. FWIW, back in the big floods in BKK, the Tesco Super Stores around where I live were pretty much out of many many essentials during the floods and even for long after.... Maybe they're doing better now...but back then, their supply chain into BKK was terrible. Back then, I don't know if it was that people were hording what little was available, or they weren't getting supplies into their stores. But their shelves were often bare. I must say... corporate PR is a wonderful thing...especially when masquerading as news. Edited September 27, 2013 by TallGuyJohninBKK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Tamson Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 My apologies for the flippancy of my earlier post - I've just watched the news and the floods on the banks of the Mun River at Ubon are having serious affects on the local residents - the poor as usual. My thoughts and prayers go out to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deesquared Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Can any Ubon folks confirm this? My friend in Ubon says Lotus is dry as a bone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonrthai Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) The Lotus on Chayangkun Rd., which is the one pictured in the article, is NOT flooded. This article came out yesterday and I was there twice yesterday and the day before. Phibun, Ubon is flooding but I don't know if it's hit the small Lotus there or not. There's also a Lotus in Warin but I'm pretty sure that isn't flooding either. Edited September 27, 2013 by ubonrthai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
