Glasseye Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 1 hour ago, KWA said: Fish 40 baht from Big C already prepared and chips from Makro via the air fryer. Doesn't look like much but was lovely. I buy a lot of pre made meals from a medium size Big C in Chiang Mai (not far from my condo). Usually 30-40 baht per. Almost always good. They often have a wide variety of stuff also. Looking forward to stocking up when I get back. I'm usually able to find almost everything I want/need there. Then with a few of their pre made stuff have a good spread of different things. They also often have a lot of 2 for ones like bacon, yogurt, lunchmeats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Big C Pattaya Tai regularly for years but they changed their opening times from 7am to 8am and last year because of Covid it changed to 9am. Personally, even if I get there at 8:59, it is a waste of a morning by the time I get home. I'm happier to get out early and hit Friendship at 07:30 then continue round and cover a wider range of shopping that Big C has to offer. I buy premade Thai food for 20/30 Baht depending on my route. If they were to open earlier again though, for sure I would use them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were to open earlier again though, for sure I would use them. I may be relocating at some point to a different condo building on the other side of the Ping river (not far from the place I had been planning to return to. Fortunately the new place (possible) is a few soi's from a Rimping Market. It is a full blown grocery store with a great produce and meat dept., just about any Western food I could want, and of course Thai food. They also have a good selection of pre made stuff, often as low as 10 baht. And... as you come up near the checkout they have an isle (and a couple of tables) of hugely discounted or 2 for 1"s. The savings on that stuff helps offset the more expensive imports. The service and location also are excellent. Anything over 1000 baht is free delivery (if I chose). There is also a Rimping Market in the basement of Maya Mall which is almost identical. Sometimes I will do a marathon walk out there. I use Maya as my destination point (great mall). I just chill out there to cool down after the walk, then grab an iced green tea, then do my shopping at Rimping. Usually take a grab back for about 100 baht (worth it). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
