there's few major supermarket in bangkok
mainly Big c, tesco, tops supermarket

personally think big c is the best, as they always have member discount
such as spend 2000b would save 200b in ur next purchase

what did u all guys think ?

Tax Refund:
once u spent 2000b in a single receipt, u can claim for vat refund
just bring your passport to cs counter, then show ur receipt
the procedure takes around 15min if there is long queue

then get the document to the airport before immigration counter to endorse
then go to the tax refund area to get your document endorse again
then u will get bcak ur refund

have spent 2000+ before, then eventually get back 3sgd lol
so is worth if u buy lots of things at big c , or other place where u can claim ur vat refund :)

A French couple in my Bangkok condo told me they shop at Makro and it is even cheaper than Big C.

I haven't tried Makro yet, so can't really say.

There's one at Sathorn.

You don't have to be a member (think u have to have a business to register as a member). Instead, you can get a free day pass at the counter.

Try this and let us know.

interesting thanks! will swing by on my next trip. looks like wholesales supermarket concept. IMM (SG) also started this way but becomes shopping mall eventually.

hope to find cheaper imported food stuffs, siam paragon imported stuffs are often more expensive than SG

Makro is really cheaper. When I am there, I stay with my relatives in Bangna area. Not too sure if they are members or not. But no one stop me when I just walked in...
