BB1950 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 It is not called Soi Kao Noi it is called Soi Boonsampan i believe it was nick named Kao noi because it was all grass land at one time. Kao meaning green the Noi part i dont know. But green something anyway. Try again... เขา = khao = hill; mountain น้อย = noi = little or little hill/mountain I used to be called Soi WatBoonsampan because of the Wat at the end.

craigt3365 Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 Boonies is correct. There is nothing out there ... a long way to go if you want an alternative to Tesco and Big C south. I think it's a very strange site for such a supermarket. Foodland's main clientele is foreigners, most of whom live a bit closer to Jomtien/Pattaya, I would have thought. Let's not forget Villa had a store in Khao Noi (aka Soi Wat Bunsampan) where there is a fair concentration of foreigners. Yet it failed. There are many foreigners living south of Pattaya and with the ever increasing traffic situation in Pattaya this could very well work. Najomtien with places like Ban Saree, Huay Yai, Ban Amphur, etc. Has countless villages and condos with a lot of foreigners. I bet even many people from Jomtien will go to this location. It will take some of the public that comes to the current Central Pattaya location, but with the IT mall opening next to it it will be hard to get there. It's not just foreigners who shop at Foodland. Many Thais do also. The one in Thonglor gets way more Thais than foreigners. The area you mention is getting quite an influx of well to do Thais. Stop by the Glass House on the weekends. The parking lot is packed with Bangkok vehicles. I'm keeping my fingers crossed it will open soon!

I was right about where Wat Boon Samphan is located, but I have to apologize because I said Soi Boon Samphan, which actually had to be Soi Watboon, and is located as I said before between Sukhumvith and Jomtien second road. http://www.tiyasplace.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=48&Itemid=56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony5 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 That map is old. That map doesn't show Jomtien second road, but nothing changed where the Soi starts at Sukhumvit end, or where it ends on Jomtien beach road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1950 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Wat boon samphan is off soi Kao Noi and Soi Khao Talo. Soi Boon Samphan rund from sukhumvit to jomtien second road. I thought that was Soi Bun Kanchana west of Sukhumvit? The map is old. Lenny is correct. Soi Wat Boon is now called Soi Bun Kanchana. https://www.google.co.th/maps/@12.8883042,100.8871198,16z?hl=en It was called Soi Wat Boon because of Wat Bunkanchanaram (on the corner of Sukhumvit) and has no relationship to Wat Bunsamphan at the end of Soi Khao Noi (Soi Wat Bunsamphan). There's been confusion over this for at least 10 years that I know of! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never said it was related to Wat Bun samphan,( well actually I called it so in my first post, but apologized for the mistake later) but it was called Wat Bun (boon whatever). That Pattaya administration can't make up there mind how to call their Sois is not my problem. I seems even that Pattaya administration even didn't know if the Soi in front of Southpoint was city property or not. Anyway, this map also shows it as Wat Bun. http://pattsfun-wp.pattaya-funtown.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/pattaya-map.gif Edited May 28, 2015 by Anthony5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inn Between Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Coming Soon is most likely at least a few years. There is no sign of any building going on. Not if they approach it like an over-sized 7/11 store. Those suckers seem to go up and are opened in record time here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johng Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) That sign is for staff at Alangkarn theatre not Foodland here is a closer clearer photo they have positions for Cook and cooks assistants Gardeners and cleaners Waiter / waitresses Reception staff Stage / lighting /sound technicians Tailors Cashiers Office staff Promoters Can't see any hint of a Foodland in that area.... wish its true but don't think so, they walled off the plot of land the other side of Alangkarn a while ago rumours where for a Big C no sign of that either !

tropo Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 This is bad news for me as I thought a Foodland was coming to Thepprasit Road, near View Talay.

ThaiBob Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 There is another thread about the Thepprasit Foodland location. It is just east of the back of View Talay 1. There was some construction about a month ago and people got excited. It appears they only construction some concrete foundations (for a sign?) but no actual building construction has started.
