  • Today I take you on my first shopping trip in Thailand to the Lotus Supermarket. I will share the cost of living as I shop for basic necessesities for my new condo. The cost of living in Bangkok can be quite reasonable if you don't go overbaord. Lotus's has pretty much everything you need for living in Thailand. So join me as I go shopping in Thailand for the first time.
    I recently moved to Thailand and am begining to roam the country while documenting my travels here on UA-cam. Join me for my assorted adventures in the many different regions of Thailand.

    The cheapest shopping mall in Thailand is makro. It is a large wholesale mall. And if you want more comfort Every shopping mall will have an app for ordering products to be delivered to your home. Or will it be Grab, lineman. You just select the products you want and wait at home. Prices and promotions are the same as if you went out and bought them yourself. The fare is cheaper than the bts,taxi fare you take to the mall. And in Thailand, there will be a lot shop that sells everything for 20 baht. If you go to the shop everything 20, you can buy any household items for only 20 baht. such as hand towels, towels, hand tools, whole packs of toilet paper, paper towels At the shop, everything is 20 baht. We have them all.
    And a trick to get on the BTS so that you don't land on the wrong side Let you look at the destination you are going to what color line is. and then let you see the last station of that color line The signpost will be the name of the last station of that color line. For example, you are at Asoke station and you will go to Phra Khanong. You have to go to the BTS side that says Kheha(เคหะ) because the last station on that line is Kheha(เคหะ) station.😁😁🙏🙏

      Hey thank you very much for those tips. I’m literally standing in front of a Makro store right now as I’m reading your comments! 555 I know that you can order all the things online sheep, but I want to explore some of the city. I will eventually find all of the cheaper things that you mention.
      Thank you very much for all the information and for watching!

      It’s funny I was reading a comment from somebody else about Makro when I was standing right in front of that store. I went inside to take a look. I definitely don’t need to buy in bulk like that. Even in the US Costco was just good for water and toilet paper for me

      @LifewithSerg  2 роки тому

      It’s a bit of a prolonged story, and there’s going to be some information released later this week as well as when I do my live stream. In a nutshell, during the pandemic towards the end of 2020, I just got tired of California and decided to move to Texas for a year. My plan was always to come and live here. I came to visit Thailand 10 years ago and instantly fell in love with the culture, the people and the food. Fast forward 10 years, and I’ve decided to move here. I have no regrets, but I completely understand what I’ve chosen to do is not for everybody. If you’re interested in finding out more, make sure you subscribe and click the bell so you get notified when I have the full information released.
