Almog why in hell have you merged these posts ,,,,,,,,,Nong Ki is over 80 kms from Buriram City!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because it seems like Tesco is not coming to Buriram town very soon so I thought its a good idea to change it to be just Tesco is coming to Buriram PROVINCE......

Just drive out of town where the newer hospital is towards the PEA electricity office, follow this road straight (not where it bends), you can't miss the signs.

Khu Maung which is 60km from Buriram seems a most unlikely location.  Nong Ki (which is on the 24) is more understandable, but neither would be my first choice if I were the Tesco boss.

Both are Tesco EXPRESS which they are operate 24 hours same '7-11' so maybe its just a question of franchise purchases in that areas.
If open in Buriram it should be a big Tesco lotus similar in Surin.

I think TESCO have left it too late in Buriram. They screwed up in Surin after apparently having the advantage of being first on the scene.

Their strategy is for expansion of 'Express' stores and I think this is the best you can expect in Buriram (maybe Prakhonchai too) - I wonder how much power the Taweekit family hold ?

According to one of the builders they are going to Nang Rong once the Nong Ki store is finished

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

Didn't know about Taweekit in Nong Ki but at least the Nang Rong one has a KFC attached - very nice fish fingers !

I doubt if they are that bothered,Tesco seems to be on the up compared to the other Supermarket chains.

Although Big C seems to be number one in Thailand after taking over Carrefour and now owning 111 hypermarkets against Tesco's 87. However, if other retail formats are included, Tesco is larger with some 704 stores nationwide.

Its a bloody shame Carrefeur decided to pull out of Thailand as the fruit,veg & bakery depts were excellent...I was in the store in Pattaya a couple of weeks ago,,,what a shithole it is now!!

No hope of them coming to Prakonchai in the forseeable future!!
The only half decent stuff from THAT KFC is the fishburger & the Fish Fingers,forget the 'Chicken'

They are already building a Tesco Express in Nang Rong, I saw it yesterday morning. It's on the road going from the 24 to the top end of the market.
