Is Tesco Lotus coming to Buriram??????????

[nookiebear]

There is hope for Prakhonchai if one horse towns like Nong Ki and Nang Rong can get a TESCO Lotus Express.

If Nang Rong and Nong Ki are one horse towns, I would say Prakhonchai has two. Who owns the other one CoCo?

Prakhonchai appears to have more than its fair share of 'old nags'!!!!

Have you really been using the Makro in Pattaya 'for a few years'........It hasnt been open for 2 years until mid December!!!!
Perhaps you are getting confused with all the visits you pay to the Buriram Store!!

Yes a few years ( 2 ) yes   ,

give or take a few  ( 2-3 ) months 

I have never been to the one in Buriram,I think you are getting me confused with someone else

I've seen you with a few Nookiebear, I think the ladies must have had their Baht Goggles on though

FYI - Tesco have opened what it sounds like is an express mart in Ban Kruat. I havent seen it yet as I'm in the UK but this is the start of the end for other local marts etc....it's a shame to see this happen in such a small place.

It's something that is happening the world over,see this link

Just as it did with all the local small Hardware Shops in the UK years ago when the big boy  like Payless ,Homebase ,B&Q and Wickes DIY opened their big DIY centers ,seems to be the way of the world

Why is it a shame?

The Mom and Pop shops have had it good for long enough, mostly overcharging left, right and centre.

It will make the local supermarkets in Nong Ki charge the 'proper' price,not the proper price plus 10%

Until they go bust. The quality of fresh foods in Tesco Express is likely to be superior to that elsewhere, and in my experience the staff are likely to be more efficient and tasty too!

There will always be Mom and Pop shops in the Villages, there is no way 7/11 or Tesco will move in to these area's as there is just not enough money to justify it.In the last few years about 10-15 small shop shops have opened up in or just outside our village,how they find enough trade to stay open mystifies me or maybe they don't and are being sported by their son's or daughter's working elsewhere .Believe it or not being a shop own is still has some sort of  status symbol out in the Villages !!!

Tasty maybe but efficient   
I was told by a local you have to have a school certificate to say you have reached a certain standard of education even to be coincided for an interview with Tesco or 7/11.
One of the games I like to play is to go into 7/11 or Tesco and buy some goods .Say it comes to 315 bath, you give them 500 or a 1000 note and let them ring it up so the change come up on the Cash Register.You then give them the odd 15 baht .A look of horror comes over their faces  as they are totally baffled but what you have done....priceless.
And these are the youngsters that have a school certificate  ,good job they don't just take anybody on.

Ken, I would hardly call Pattaya a village.

Whilst Surin is smaller I doubt that the large estate, on which you acquired the house for Nok, is classed as a village either

We got bored in Surin ,so Nok's cousin who lives just outside Nong Yai in Chonburi offered us some land in her Village.Nice and quiet but close enough to nip into pattaya for a take away  ( 51k ) ,if you know what I mean

A bit on the heavy side compared to the standard of your normal fillies.

Efficient  -in a Thai way!. They do more than the lasses in Big C, IQ etc who only stare into their mirrors all day long!
