    Hi Wayne. Big C is always my favorite food store. But the French cheeses or Parmaham does not come cheap. Its that craving sometimes and you spend a few thousand bht. Thailand prices raise like anywhere. Its the housing where you save money. But 70k bath a month is ok in the North. Samui or Phuket you have to be carefull. Anyway on topic. Big C is great for that food you miss at home but otherwise just go out for your meals. Thanx mate. Your vid gives reality of the actual prices at a big store in CM. Small edit: Tops is even better but very expensive when it comes to western delicate food..

    Electrical items in Thailand are very reasonably priced -- just can't plug them in by your bed because this place is nuts and every hotel I've been in so far has a shortage of plug sockets and on one side of the room only: the side opposite the bed. Want to work on laptop while in bed? Tough sh1t. The cable won't reach to the other side of the room, and even if it did the bleeding plug would fall out of the poxy sockets upon even the slightest of movements. European sockets are the same. UK sockets are the best in the world -- chunky 3-pin connection that once in the socket does not move without retracting the plug. Sturdy as F.

    Why buy food in supermarkets?? Most supermarket foods in tins, packets and plastic containers are bad for you anyway. It is ok as a place to buy loo rolls, shampoo, cleaning products etc but food??? The local fruit ,veg and fish markets are the place to go. Cheap and cheerful. Another thing, by buying at these markets you are actually supporting local families and not some faceless large corporation.

      Yeah but it's a different ball game outside of the supermarkets. I thought the Philippines was way more expensive when I was there. Thailand still cheaper as a whole I think 👍

      Makes sense to. I'm not much of a fan of Thai food (not into spicy etc) but one can get a skewer of meat for 50p or a whole large fish packed with herbs and leafy greens for a around £3-4. I just do that then go sit in a park and wash it down with a cold Chang.

    I understand some of the expense for these products becausethey are not native to Thailand and/or they are imported and have tax on top of the price but at 6:23, small packet of pork mince $6.47???
    Surely pork mince is commonplace in Thailand as it's used in many cheap Thai dishes such as Pad Krapao?
    You'd have to be an utter idiot to shop in theis place.
    The prices for fruit and veg(much of this which is available at Thai markets at a fraction of the cost)is at least double that of England,even the eggs,which are plentiful in Thailand are double what youd pay in England..
    Also 3:59 inferior coffee to Thai coffee for $14.50!
    I imagine only the most ignorant of expats would belive they had to pay that for Nescafe over Thai coffee.

      Believe it or not, some Thais love shopping in the supermarkets also. I think the pork mince might have been imported too. Yes, so much cheaper for things in the local markets. Someone did point out to me about the Sharp boxes haha. Thanks.
