We are going to visit my partners parents again  and I was wondering if anyone knows whether the Makro and Big C which were allegedly being built in Chum Phae have bee finished? 

Also with the Makro do you need to become member and get a card as you have to do in the UK? 

 

Thanks

 

Chumphae has Tesco and Makro,no Big C.

It's cash and carry at Makro,no card required.

those who dont have a card should be able to get a day pass at reception.

My local Makro needs no card or pass. Just tell cashier that you don't have and then business as usual.

Thank for all the replies.

Happy with the Tesco's used it many a time

I thought I had heard Big C was coming to town,,,,,must have heard wrong then

Cheers

There was always rumour about Big C and a possible location.

But I haven't seen any concrete sign so far.

I only noticed a sign for a Big C mini (funny name) somewhere at a gas station in direction to Phukieo.

 

Recently there were reports that Big C is cutting down expansion due to the bad economic development.

And after last visit to Big C in Khon Kaen I don't miss them too much.

Since it has been sold to CP it is going south.

Empty shelfs, top prices.

 

Makro is there now for about 2 (?) years.

 

At Tesco there is construction work going on. Limited parking.

I assume they expand to make room for the silly undersized food section.

It has some of the most ridicolous layouts I have ever seen.

Food section small and crowded.

Hardware sections empty.

They hold staff group meetings there

Makro were bought by CP.

 

BigC sold out to ThaiBev.

Thanks for the correction.

 

I hesitated to say that Makro is also on the down-path.

Maybe it's just some of my few products that are out of stock again and again for weeks

Yes Tesco there is strange.  As you say, its a very small food area and the way the tills split the food and others stuff area is a new one on me 

 

Thanks for the info
