advancebooking Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 My top 3 stores in Thailand are as follows: 1. Homepro - quality products and service 2. Macro - a fine supermarket with huge fruit/veg, fish and meat section. Heaps of options for frozen meats / fish etc. 3. Lazada - great online shop. The other day I ordered a few things at 4pm. The next day at midday they were delivered to my door (cash on delivery). We live in the north east of LOS. It was impressive service. What are your 3 favourite shops? Retail or online.

sipi Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Tesco, 7/11 and Big Com; the only 3 "shops" in Phon Cheroen. Not a lot of choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigeonjake Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 yep im the same, tesco, big c and makro thats all ive got near me, but to be honest for all our fruit and veg we use the morning market, not the big market the one were there stall holders buy there stuff, fresher, cheaper, and a good laugh, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBob Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Talat Thai - great for food, garden supplies, cookware etc. Prices low, especially if buying slightly larger quantities (give surplus to neighbours). Good source of hard to find regional ingredients. The stall holders can be a bit of a laugh once they see that you are a regular. Royal Project - Good quality fruit & veg. Supplies can be a bit erratic. Do Home - Huge DIY shed, good choice of tools, hardware, garden supplies etc. They supplied and organised the installation of my concrete kitchen and did a good job.

bentarm44 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Big C, which is easily my fave shopping experience in Thailand. If I want anything, Big C is my first port of call. Most of my clothes bought there. Home Pro, reasonable variety of stock (in the larger stores), and return/exchange posible. Banana IT, for same reasons as Home Pro.

ezzra Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Big C.. with their In house Casino brand products that catering for Thais and those who can read French,, nothing in English on the label, screw the non Thai or French customer.. let them guess what they're buying...

gjoo888 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 1. Foodland, not quite the Farang selection of Villa and Tops but much better prices, and Took Lai Dee isn't a bad place to eat. 2. Fortune Town for computers, phones and electronics. Not the tourist/farang trap that Pantip Plaza is, and you don't have touts pushing porn in your face. 3. Many of the shops and stalls at MBK, for Farang sized clothing at decent prices. I'll throw in a 4th pick. Pizza Aroy in the Town in Town area (not the one on Sukhumvit). Great thin crust pizza with very good prices. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casino brands are great! How much Thai you have on the label of products in USA? So why should there be English on labels in Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mca Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) I like Robinsons. When they have a sale on items like bedsets you can pick up some real bargains. The supermarket in Central Chidlom is usually my place to stock up on goodies. Edited November 27, 2014 by mca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I gather Tesco Is pulling out (or already has) and CP aim to take over. In my opinion, Tesco is the worst store for closed checkouts when people are waiting to be served. This applies to their stores in both the UK and Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The supermarket in Central Chidlom is usually my place to stock up on goodies. Again in my opinion, Robinsons sell the best quality of things, ie I have bought flasks from various stores, and none have even lasted a year, the one I have now was bought more than three years ago, and is still going strong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HUAHIN62 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Can add Villa market, True value and Tops. Then there are many small shops that sell stuff at very good prices, better than Tesco or Big C. On another note, I have bought many things from Lazada but now have run into a major problem. I bought a software package from them and when I scratched to get to the activation code two letters/numbers came off with the covering strip. Its now been 3 weeks and 10 phone calls and still no answer. They deliver on time etc etc but when you run into a problem you have a problem.

lucifer666 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) The only good thing about Homepro is that you can check that the DIY/product actually exists in Thailand ( their website is useless) and ( many tools and equipment i use in my hobby cannot be bought here) and then, go to a local DIY shop and buy it for 2/3rds the price Edited November 27, 2014 by lucifer666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
