Thai online shopping using AMEX?

[cloudos]

Hi, I've been having difficulties finding any online Thai shopping store which accepts AMEX. I am looking for something along the lines of a Big C, Tops Supermarket, etc.

Any recommendations? I have recently moved here so I am a bit lost.....

Thanks in advance!

My advice to you is to get rid of the AMEX and get another card. The only places that will accept AMEX here in Thailand are the big chains that can absorb the large fee that AMEX extorts from merchants

Sorry I should have been a bit clearer. I am actually looking to buy online, and I haven't found any places which accept AMEX. The bigger chains do, but not their online stores......

Thai issued AMEX card or a foreign one ?

All the rewards and miles that AMEX offers are extracted from the high fees that they charge the vendors. That's why most vendors will nor except it. I had a hard time finding brick and mortar vendors that would take my Amex in Thailand,
I can imagine it would be even harder to find on-line vendors who have an even lower profit margin that would except it.
