Hi.

Can anyone please tell me the location of Villa Market in Udon.

All I can find out on the local forum is that it might have been moving.

I am not from Udon and about the only thing I know is the airport.

Coming from Khon Kaen so some precise directions please.

It used to be (6 months ago when I last went there) in a horrible location on the lowest level of the Tukcom Shopping Center. Google Maps says it has moved to UD Town. Let's see what the locals say. In the meantime, try Tops in the basement of Central Plaza.

Yes. Tops is not too bad but have a habit of running out and not re stocking for ages.

I have to pick my Wife up from Udon airport on Friday so thought I would take a look.

still in Landmark, another location is being built in UD Town, but months away from opening, as far as restocking goes, from my experience they all run out and them take months to restock, seems a Thai thing? NO FORWARD PLANNING and No computerised stock control.

Google "Landmark Plaza Udon Thani" go to maps and you should get location etc.

Thanks

Still in Landmark basement.

Hope that all storm damages (power supply) have been fully repaired.

A mate was there on Friday when the storm came in and the lights went off.

They have a generator at Landmark.

Found it. Parking a bit of a squeeze.

Not too impressed with the stock.

The only other one I have been to was in Phuket

Plus it was after 2pm so could not even buy some of the decent beer they had.

Not the best parking lot is it! no what you mean about the stock, in the past (very recent) we have never had a problem buying alcohol at any time from Villa.

Better sticking to Tops, if Villa is anything like the ones in Bangkok, give it a miss, it is far too expensive.

On the rare occasions that I am in Udon I give Villa a visit for just one (or two) products

All else Big C and Central.

Villa is expensive as it is in Pattaya or Bangkok.

But they have some unique products (original imports) not found elsewhere.

Fortunately my life does not depend on, so mostly use the easier drive to Khon Kaen.

God I wish there were a Villa in KKC.

Tops in central KKC seems to have gotten a new manager or owner/operator.

And with new managers changes come.

More and more of the items disappear and never restocked.

The price level is absolutely ridicules.

Bought a Kg with grapes the other day. Seedless. Didn't realize it was almost 500 baht, before too late. Silly me.

Unfortunately, it is the best option in KKC.

Not the best parking lot is it!

Some drive BIG cars? Pick ups? No problem there with my Gf's Nissan March, lol

Agree.

No idea what's wrong with this parking deck.

Newly built, wide lanes and well illuminated/ventilated.

Are we writing about the same place?

If you want to see the low end then use the parking deck at the old Fairy Plaza in Khon Kaen.

Terrible.

I would not use it if I'd drive a truck.

And also the old Big C parking in Udon is dark and moldy.

Only ever been to Villa Market in Phuket before.

Found the one in Udon very disappointing after that.

The freezer stock was very low.

Did manage to find lime cordial though.

In Tops KK lucky to find expensive import about twice a year.

I think in Tops that you have to buy the whole stock if you see anything as it will not be there again for a few months.

Yes, Landmark Shopping Center, Ramps and curve radius are a lot smaller then in the new big Shopping Centers in Khon Kaen and Udon.

Big C Udon dark, yes, but has space for turning your BIG Truck in and out.

If you live deep in the Isaan Pampa, you have to take what you get, all alternatives are far!

Try to get since some time, Lingonberry Jam (Preiselbeeren) we like to eat in my home country with venison, game-meat and Schnitzel ect.

Read now, can possibly get it at the IKEA shop in Bangkok, - maybe I look there next time.
