Global House

[iammike]

I've just heard that Global House will be opening a new store in the Buriram Area.

Hearing this, I just wanna tell you guys that I will support Pichai from RuangSangThai, and he can  get my business any day, if you need anything Pichai can source it for you and at a very competitive price.

In case you don't know RuangSangThai.

I must say  I would root for the home town guy myself.

I think we're all in Pichai's fan club.
Unfortunately I will  drive past IQ store and Global House every day when GH is finished, as well as Homepro (I don't even think about Home Mart any more) and T Wasadu is visible in the distance. Pichai is out of the way for me.  I'm a bit puzzled by these places, they seem to be half (three quarters) empty when I go there, you can get most stuff cheaper elsewhere if you know where to look and I am sick of being stalked by guys that don't know nuffink. Rant over.

The wife fell in love with HomPro in CNX so when it opened in Surin it was a no brainer where she would go. HP in Surin does a very steady business. As for Global House in Surin the closest she will get to it is in passing by on the highway..to many ghost. Global House products, selection and price are very hard to beat. Local business will find they will have to be competitive to stay up. I wish the local merchants nothing but the best

Thank you all for your kind words of support for my family owned builders merchants business. Global House will be a game changer in Buriram and my team is fully aware they need to be on "Their A Game' to thrive and survive with that level of competition. Perhaps my low overhead, lower margins, lower actual pricing of name brand products and the ability to actually install and repair name brand water pumps, well pumps, lawn mowers, power tools by staff who have actual training gives customers both Thai and expat a reason to drive past those other reputable stores. I have the exact same credit card policy as Global House. No doubt I will match price on any name brand identical item in any printed sales flyer of Global House, even the Buriram grand opening special prices. I have arranged for 35 different name brand vendors to staff product booths inside Ruangsangthai and in several tents outside of Ruangsangthai for the 2nd "Buriram Home Show Expo" in February 2015. I've arranged for free pizza, free Thai food, free beverages and this year some Thai music and Thai comedy stars.
 Today I was thrilled to have another returning woman employee who speaks English to help with the expat customers. She will work with Miss Jan who was previously married to a British man. Many of you are familiar with the supervisor of the tool and pump repair department who also speaks and understands English. Do not hesitate to bring any lawn mowers or power tools to Ruangsangthai for repairs even if they were bought at a different store in Thailand or in your native country.

Here is the photo of the woman in charge of the Tool repair department of Ruangsangthai and some of the staff who work with her to promptly repair power tools, pressure washers, lawn mowers, water pumps and brush cutters in Buriram. I now have three men working in the shop over the age of 59 and they bring a level of experience to tool repairs and customer service not always found in youthful employees.

It's great to hear that the community both acknowledge & support local family owned businesses such as Ruangsangthai. Unfortunately, living in Nongki, it is quite a journey for me which is why I've only visited Ruangsangthai once so far. I've visited some of the alternative businesses in the area and IMHO, Ruangsangthai knocks the socks off the competition. When I did visit the store I met Mr Pichai & Bob Manthey and found everyone at the store to be professional, courteous & helpful. I had a very positive experience and have made my friends in and around Nongki aware of the quality products & services provided by Mr Pichai @ Ruangsangthai.

As posted by others, I have no affiliation or vested interests with Mr Pichai or Ruangsangthai, I just wanted to pass my good experience on to others which is what these forums are for IMHO.

I can only support what others are saying. Mr Pichai, Bob and the Ruansangthai team are excellent. Currently we are having some building work done and many of our building materials have been supplied by Ruansangthai at a very competitive price. They are also installing installing our water treatment and pump system having made a site visit and provided a very favourable quote. Overall an excellent store with excellent service.

I really appreciate the support shown by members of the Buriram Expats forum both on line and in person at my family owned store. Every day new products are added and a real focus will be on "services" my store can offer home builders and home owners in Buriram. I was fortunate enough to get a guided tour of the new Global House Store that is opening in Buriram. This Friday morning a vendor took me into the store and allowed me to take some photos and speak with crews who are erecting some incredible retail displays. I took note the entire store has LED lighting and some very nice features. No doubt my entire team will have to "be on our A game" in terms of customer service and careful ordering of popular products to compete with the #1 chain of home improvement stores in Thailand. I've taken note of the printed return policy, delivery policy and credit card policy. I believe I can offer Buriram residents a slightly more liberal policy. I will match or beat any Global House advertised price on the identical item as long as I have that product in stock.  It is not a challenge to match the advertised prices now of Thaiwatsadu, HomePro or Home Mart. I was not sure if the building contracting firm of the Buriram Global House is the same contractor that built the Surin Global House. The store is huge, will have a great selection and no store staff are allowed to be on mobile phones at Global House. I will be sure to check prices each week at the Buriram Global House and take note of new product categories. I only import Solar Panels direct form China, while Global House is in a position to import direct many items from China to save on the selling price. When the Buriram Global House opens it will be a good place to see great products and I will work even harder to earn your valued patronage at Ruangsangthai.

The same architects as built in Surin? Three of our family members were killed when a wall blew over there a year ago. So let's hope not.

Total of 6 people died in that. Few years back 8 more died at GH in Mukadhan.

That was very very unfortunate and extremely troubling  about the building failures. Here are some photos of the beautiful new Buriram Global House store from my tour on Friday.

I think you have posted one of the above pictures in the wrong section Pichai.

It should be in the Funny Fotos section.

[Pichai]

I posted in a different section that I did spend time inside the new Buriram Global House Store this past weekend. It will be the store I send my staff to study product displays and keep tabs on posted prices. I can meet or beat any Global House price on any name brand identical product both Ruangsangthai and Global House have in stock in Buriram. If you take a photo of the shelf price tag or bring me a copy of the advertisement I am happy to earn your business.  My repair department will gladly repair any name brand water pumps, power tools, garden tools, lawn mowers, power generators, or air compressors you previously bought at any store. If you have the warranty paper or original retail receipt I may be able to help you with any repairs covered under a warranty of a name brand such as DeWALT, Stanley, Honda, Makita, Maktec, Mitsubishi or Hitachi.  Thank you for your continued support and I look forward to serving the expat community in Buriram for many years to come.
