My First SHOPPING TRIP in Thailand Cost of Living in BANGKOK at Lotus Supermarket
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 09. 2024
- 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 CZcams. Join me for my assorted adventures in the many different regions of Thailand.

I thought Expacts could not own property in Thailand? How did you buy a condo?
I am Thai and have watched your channel since the first day you arrived here. I always hit the likes, but today is special. I hit the subscribed one.
Oh wow! Thank you so much, I truly appreciate your support.
Thai people is #1reason thailand is the best place to live. Good luck. I hope to move there end of this year
Yes they are the most kind. For sure!
Thank you ❤️
did u move ?
@@littlevampire79 is it easy to make friends im a 18 yr old black girl and i’m moving here in a few months
My mum loves these shopping videos she spent hours in Thai supermarkets on our last two trips to Bangkok. Great video and really useful. Cheers! Ozzy
Glad you enjoyed it Ozzy.
Loving your videos. I’m moving to Thailand July 1, from Southern California. These videos are much appreciated
Nice, best of luck on the move! Glad you are finding this content useful.
Eric: Have fun. I will be in Chiang Mai to checkout the retirement possibilities. Hope you post some videos and let us know how life is.
Hello Jodie! I absolutely plan to go to Chiang Mai soon. Will definitely be making videos there as well.
ยิ่งห่างไกลจากเมือง และสถานที่ท่องเที่ยวค่าครองชีพจะถูกลงมากยิ่งขึ้น
4:00 and 4:18 My heart explodes with joy. And gratitude to you too that you recognize our small gestures💖❤️
10:57 Condo tour please!! 😍😄
Your background skyrises view is… wow!
Always! I think it’s important to treat everyone with kindness and respect. Of course if they start disrespecting you, then it’s a whole different story. 555
Thanks again Serg! Really nice to follow you to the supermarket? Like your style & video, so fare....! From Peter Eriksson Sweden Europe. 😊
Glad you liked it Peter! More coming soon.
You can try many department store in Thailand such as
1. Macro, I cheer for raw materials, fresh vegetable, fruits, needful consumer products.
2. Big-C, it very competitor with Lotus
3. Hi-end class, Siam Paragon, Central World, Icon Siam
Yes so many! Thanks!
There are many supermarkets that offer delivery ( Lotus, BigC, Makro) or you can order by grab market.
Lately, I'm always ordering online since carrying staff is a pain.
I’ve always preferred to go out and do my own shopping. Especially now that I’m in a new country, I definitely want to go look at the stores and see what’s available. I understand a lot of people like the convenience of delivery.
Very interesting VDO that you presented and comment. Thank you very much for great VDO presentation to World. Welcome all visitors to Thailand and this year Thailand has many interesting events ex. APEC, The match Bangkok Century between Liverpool (my favorite team) vs Manchester United, Motogp,…. Now Thailand and Thai peoples are ready all visitors to visit Amazing Thailand!!.
I’m glad you enjoyed my video. Thank you for watching.
I do really enjoy watching your vdo. I like especially a foreigner who move to settle down in Thailand’s channel. 😁👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for your support. More to come!
I've been watching you since boarding from America to hand out chocolates. To the airline staff..welcome..the goods in Thailand are very cheap.. The price may differ slightly, of course, plus the quality is good because ASEAN. use all Thai products no need to worry. Please stay in Thailand for a long time from Chiang Mai.
Thank you so much for your support! I’m very excited to go visit Chiang Mai soon.
@@LifewithSerg Wow..so happy You will come to Chiang Mai but should come during the Loi Krathong festival Then you will be impressed. Haha.
Oh yes! I would love to come during that period. I’m in no rush, so I will get to see all of it eventually
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!
Makro is like Costco. He'll need to be a member.
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
I’m Thai and I just watched your video today and I like it so much because I live in San Diego almost 21 years. I have not come to my house town over 2 years now. Thank for your good job!!!
Hey I’m glad you like it. Small world, I spent 40 years in the San Francisco Bay area. It’s as if you and I have traded places.
5:00 OMG, it has guaranteed that you're quite famous.
Ha ha ha. I just want to make videos that people enjoy watching. Thank you so much for your support!
Hi, Serg enjoyed your video. Setting up a home it is all the small things that soon add up in cost. Take care GOD Bless you and yours. M
I definitely bought a few things that I shouldn’t have bought. Lol. I still don’t have a permanent home here, but I’m hoping to settle down within the next few months.
@@LifewithSerg Tip : make a shopping list first. It helps a lot!!🥰
I actually made a shopping list before I went. I had it on my phone. I actually picked up everything I was looking for. The only thing I couldn’t find was socks in my size.
Rent socks? Lollll
Welcome to Thailand.❤️ Hope you enjoy living in Thailand
Thank you so much for the warm welcome.
Nice video! Since I've only gone to Bangkok for vacation I have never stepped into a super market there, it's huge and looks like they have most anything you would need.
Honestly, even when I go on vacation I still enjoy going to supermarkets just to see what kind of products are there. The store definitely had everything I would need. Except socks my size. Lol
i've just find your channel. it's interesting and i'll watch your next clip in Thailand. wish you have a nice trip. enjoy travelling ang enjoy foods. 👍😁 ... maybe i sometimes recommend you weird food or place. 😄
Yes, please recommend!
thank you for coming to my country from Thailand 🇹🇭
Very happy to be here. Thanks for the walk welcome.
I stayed in an Air BNB right across the street from MBK for part of my 2 weeks in Thailand 2019. Loved the awesome shopping there. Just had to get use to not being able to buy liquor at certain times of the day. Ha. Great video!!
I actually haven’t been to that mall yet. I need to get over there and check it out. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Hi from London, I'm new here, so happy to have found your channel. Lovely video thanks x
Hello Lucinda. Welcome to the team. Glad you like the content. 👋😁
I also like to explore supermarkets/stores in different areas so this video really appealed to me. Your channel is really picking up!! That is terrific!! Good for you!!
Yeah Deni, I am the same way. I love going to supermarkets and stores in different countries. I find it’s very fascinating and a good insight into what kind of things people enjoy in that area.
People are loving my videos so far, I am very grateful for the support! More to come.
I live in Los Angeles currently, and I am planning for my retirement getaways. Thailand is one of my options. Thank you for your sharing.
Hey DD. I do miss some aspects of California (spent 40 years in SF Bay Area). I’ll be doing a live stream today at 6 PM your time on my CZcams channel. If you have any questions, come join and I’ll be happy to answer them.
Tips on Green tea, those 20 baht are just sweet water that proclaimed themselves as tea
pick the one like what you bought or Oulong tea is a safe bet
Yes, exactly. I like the non-sweetened green tea.
That’s really useful information. Thank you so much for letting me know
You at On Nut Lotus, next time try Big C from BTS turn right from BTS station and you will be seeing the traffic lights turning right and you will see Big C supermarkets and across the road from Big C there is On Nut local markets.
Yep! I actually walked into the big C when I filmed my “first day in Bangkok and “video. I’m really trying to live a minimalist lifestyle, so I’m avoiding buying things. I actually return several things from the shopping trip as I realized I didn’t need them.
On Nut local market having alot of good food to eat bro and cheap
Yep. It was in my first video when I got to Thailand. Good area for sure.
A lot of people don't know that grocery shopping here is more expensive than back home. Fun video, thanks.
Yeah this wasn’t really a grocery shopping video, but I wanted to share with people a shopping trip. I’m amazed how many people have watched this video already. Thank you for your support!
Love that your channel is picking up Serg! We found you while planning our move from SF to Austin in the same timeframe as you. Been followers ever since. Keep up the great work!
Wow, small world! Thanks so much for your support.
Some thing in supermarket is expensive than here, by the way thanks for sharing and good luck for new house.
Thank you very much.
I am new to your program. Did you move there alone ? Are you retired ? What is your source of income ? Will you show us your home ? Cost to rent or own a home ? What is a common way to past the time ?
I moved here two months ago. I am retired. The cost to rent or own a home here is like anywhere else, it can be very cheap or it can be very expensive. Your questions are just too general to be answered. If you have anything specific you would like to ask please go ahead.
You did it again. Another tasty morsel of Thailand! Just hang in there! Before you know it you'll soon be a pro traveller, get on the right platforms and time your VTS rides just right. As you said in past video's: "Can't be afraid of making mistake. That's how we learn!"
By the way that helmet was perfect for you. You reminded me of a Toy Story 4 character.
Your shopping excursions was almost comical. Actually, down right hilarious! Just like shopping to furnish your new dorm room dude! Now go back and spurge on that decorative pillow for your couch to make it feel like home ... you know you want to!🐱
That bear pillow was pretty epic. Lol. Coming up next: “Cooking with Serg” otherwise known was “how i burnt down my condo”. Lol
nice one mate cheers from the UK durian is nice but not with alcohol it can cause heart attack
Which is fine as I don’t drink. Def will be giving it a try soon.
Next time when u go shopping, dont forget to bring bags or a cart for collecting your stuff. Hope u enjoy ur live in Thailand.
I had a shopping cart with me while I was shopping. 😊
Just randomly got recommended your channel this was actually very good so subscribed looking forward to more in thailand
Welcome aboard Michael! I’m glad you enjoyed my videos and thank you for your support.
Enjoyed shopping.
Yes it was good.
love these tesco vlogs, normally you’d get the luxury malls vlogs but these are interesting indeed! more vids like this pls lol
Absolutely, I have zero interest in going into any of these luxury malls. There’s plenty of other people doing that.
Household items are not that cheap. Many items are cheaper in the USA. Always interesting seeing stores in other countries. Thanks for the video.
Yeah, I definitely could’ve gone to a discount store. I just don’t know where they are and that’s why I went to the supermarket. Some of the things were cheaper, some of them were not. I’m the same way, I love going to stores and looking at base of goods in other countries.
I’m actually visiting in the US right now and am really surprised at how much more things cost. I was visiting the US last year and the increase from then to now is incredible.
Oh yes! Inflation has hit the US pretty severely.
I recommend getting a DOT, SNELL or ECE certified helmet
Yes, those are my thoughts exactly. I’m going to try to find an Arai as those tend to fit my head the best.
i don't understand english But your video clip looks fun and enjoyable. Makes me look forward to watching your new clips every day. In the future I hope there will be Thai subtitles or you can speak Thai better.
จะพยายามหาวิธีทำซับไทยให้ค่ะ ฉันต้องเรียนภาษาไทยด้วย ขอบคุณมากสำหรับการสนับสนุนของคุณ!
I will try and find a way to make Thai subtitles. I also need to learn Thai. Thank you very much for your support!
@@LifewithSerg thank you🥹
@@LifewithSerg I heard one youtuber said you need to apply to youtube subtitle function with extra payment or something.
Yes, I’m not sure. But I definitely need to look into it. I know there is a large Thai audience that would watch if I could get Thai subtitles
ถ้าคุณเขียนภาษาอังกฤษเอง ภาษาคุณถือว่าดีเลยนะคะ ถ้าคุณใช้โปรแกรมแปลภาษา คุณก้อสามารถฝึกได้ คุณไม่ลังเล ที่จะดูคลิปฝรั่ง ถึงแม้จะไม่เข้าใจ แสดงว่าคุณพร้อมที่จะเรียนรู้แล้วค่ะ เป็นกำลังใจให้นะคะ
Hi Serg, I feel like I walk along and shop with you. What's a coincidence to see that cool guy on the TV 555. Hope you understand what 555 in Thai means ^^
Yes it was great to see myself on that big TV. I don’t known much Thai at all, but I know 555. 😜
You are so lucky to be there. I am looking forward to seeing how Thai culture starts to influence you. I am deeply invested in Thai culture but yet after many years of taking long trips there, I still haven't figured out how to live there. I have done this type of shopping trip to by things for the airbnb/condo so many times in Thailand.... it can get ridiculous when you're there long term but still transient.
Yes I’m really curious how things will look for me in the years to come. Everything I own fits into two suitcases, so I’m trying to keep my possessions to a minimum.
Why?
Why what?
Hi Serg. Thank you for taking us shopping with you.
Glad you liked it. I have more stuff coming up soon.
Cookin' With Serg, Next on Food Network
Dude.. I will LEGIT burn water. Seriously, my cooking skills are horrific. If it wasn’t for friends who owned restaurants in the US, or the girlfriends who have cooked for me over the years, I would be eating instant noodles every day. Lol
Thank you so much,from Bangkok ,Thailand♡
Thank you for your support!
Don't forget to look at the price of the imported Doritos bag. You'll see it's crazy expensive
Oh I didn’t get a chance to do that. Honestly this was just shopping for basic necessities and not for food. I might do a more general supermarket video down the road.
@@LifewithSerg If you have a chance as well to good to the food court on top of The Emporium the food is really good and cheap with a nice view. I was going there almost daily
Ohhhhh that sounds yummy. I think everyone can tell that I like to eat. I need to start working out again. Lol
@@NomadicJulien I am Thai but never know that. Thank you for the tip!!!🙏
Thanks for taking us to shopping with you😍
You’re most welcome. Honestly I’m surprised how many people have seen and enjoyed this video.
Subscribed...Thai viewer here..
Thank you for your support!
Enjoy watching your channel a lot and thanks for alway saying nice things about Thailand
Glad you like my videos. Thailand has been very good to me so far.
House tour please…seems like you have pretty awesome view, especially at night.
I will make a video in a few weeks. This view was taken from the roof top.
ITA!!! Great mind think alike! Wink 😉
Well , thanks for taking us shopping, they are quite organized and super neat and clean.👍
Yes I’m very impressed with the organization and stores etc. here. They have excellent infrastructure here.
@@LifewithSerg just FYI, the chocolate is cheaper there base on regular price, or about the same .
Gotcha. Unfortunately when I got home and opened it, it was quite heat cycled as most of it had turned white. Oh well.
My Advices:
1. You will be doing shopping in many times. Better Apply for Lotus Membership card or Big C Membership Card. You will get some discount or cash back.
2. Please bring some plastic bags with you to go shipping. no more free plastic bags.
Thank you for your advice. I appreciate your support.
Great man now I know where to get a throw away full face helmets did you notice the sizes as I'm the same size as you
They are different sizes.
This was around when I first started watching. So you been 1 year in bangkok. Feels like longer lol 😂
It will be two years in April! Time flies!
Just subbed, Serg. I see your channel is growing fast. Wishing you peace and joy stay in Thailand, from a Thai-American in Arkansas. ☮
Thank you so much for your support! Never made it to Arkansas. Always wanted to go.
The beef u said is expensive as they are imported.. Local beef is much more cheaper.. And local premium beef is cheaper than imported
I will have to try some of the local beef. I’ve had a little bit here and there, but I would like to try a good local steak.
Welcome
Thanks!
ผมก็ไม่ดื่ม แอลกอฮอล์นะครับ คุณ Serg 7 เดือน ดีครับ hope your enjoy .
ฉันเริ่มทำด้วยเหตุผลด้านสุขภาพ และฉันไม่อยากดื่มอีกต่อไป ฉันรู้สึกดีขึ้นมาก
I started to do it for health reasons, and I just don’t have a desire to drink anymore. I feel so much better.
@@LifewithSerg Wonderful
Looks like you were in the area that I have a condo at On Nut. There is also a free bus that goes to IKEA if you ever need, get off the BTS at Udom Suk, take exit 5 and the bus comes pretty often.
Hey that’s good to know! I don’t really need anything at IKEA right now, but I’m sure it will at some point.
Really enjoy shopping along with you. Smart buyer!
I definitely forgot to get the second part of some of the buy one get one free though. Oh well, it was still a fun experience. thank you for your support.
4:21 คนไทยมีน้ำใจและมีมิตรภาพให้ชาวต่างชาติเสมอครับ ขอบคุณที่มาไทย 😊👍
ใช่ คนไทยมีความเป็นมิตรและยินดีเป็นอย่างยิ่ง ขอบคุณมากสำหรับการสนับสนุนของคุณ
Yes, the Thai people have been extremely friendly and welcoming. Thank you so much for your support.
@@LifewithSerg 😊💞👍
Hello, as a new subscriber, I'm slowly going through your vlogs 😊 Enjoyed watching you shopping! Very decisive, not messing about 👍 Nice vlogging 🙏
Welcome aboard Oy! Thank you for your support.
There are another branch of Lotus supermarket at Fortune Town building , Pharam 9 MRT station, 2 MRT station from MRT Sukhumvitt or BTS Asok. I think that the nearest Lotus supermarket from your place.
Ahhhh. I think you are correct. Thanks for that!
I like this clip.
Glad yon enjoyed it.
If you want some household in wholesale Sampeng which is located near China Town is the good place for shopping also 😊😊😊
Thank you for the advice Alicia! I think I got everything I need for now.
I used to stay in a condominium which very closed to that Tesco lotus
On Nut is a nice area. Lots of great little shops and food places. Lotus is right there also. Great location.
Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍very interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it. 😁
Must be because the chocolates are fully imported to be $5.
It is cheaper to eat out definitely. But its nice to cook & snack at home also. 👍
Oh there’s nothing I love more than a good home cooked meal. There’s definitely something special about enjoying a meal that someone you like prepared.
@@LifewithSerg You feel more stable & settled in life with a home cooked meal. Only if your on the go with a busy life & schedule you can settle for takaway ( as we say in Australia) but yes, if someone cooks for you it shows they care for you. Plus going to that effort makes you appreciate that person for looking after you. 👍
Good video. I think you are going to do well in Thailand. Keep it up.
Thank you so much for your kind words Andrew. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Hi…Serg love your video from Bay Area USA Take care yourself Thank you…
Awww my old home area! Thanks for watching!
Smart shopping !
Just remember to use bottled water in that ice cube tray!
So here’s a funny story. I went to make myself a drink with ice cubes at my condo the other day. That’s when I realized that I had used tap water so I stopped myself short. That’s also when I realize that the night before I had used the same tap water ice cubes. I managed to live. Lol… but yes, I’m using bottled water to make ice now.
welcome to BKK Thailand
Thanks for the welcome!
Good morning. Just started watching you bro. I have been here for nearly 4 years now. You will get use to Lotus soon. The paper towels were what you taught was toilet paper, and at 7.24 you were looking for paper towels, this is the toilet paper section. I am sure you figured this out after🤣🤣🤣 Subscribed too.
I actually bought some paper towels instead of toilet paper and realize it when I get home. 555 yes everything is a bit of a learning curve, but I think that’s part of the fun. Thank you so much for your support.
i cant wait to live there bc my girlfriend live there so am now learning thai language so 3 years later am going to move there so wish me luck
That’s great Mohamed! Three years will give you plenty of time to learn the language. I wish you the best of luck.
@@LifewithSerg Thank you i wish you same best luck
New subscriber here,saw you on Thairish times. Very professional on camera.I think you will give retired working for you a run for the money.
Pete is a great interviewer! Welcome to the team. Chris has done an amazing job growing his channel. I’m not sure what lies in store for me, but I will just continue making content about topics that I enjoy. I should have another video out in about five hours.
Look around on yr shopping, you would live on Condo at Onnut - Bangchak area. It is near my home.
Yes I was in that area when I was shopping. It is one of the areas I am still considering to live in.
Wow almost close to 10,000 sub
So quick!! Happy for him.
Yes, we are getting close! I just need to put out more videos, but I only want to make videos that I truly enjoy doing. I want to make good content for people. Thank you for your support
I couldn’t do it without the support of people like you Jo! I’m very grateful to all of you.
@@LifewithSerg do what you enjoy to make it. We can wait
Thank you, I really do appreciate that.
Try the cookies made by lotus .
I will definitely do that. Thank you!
@@LifewithSerg Lotus Biscoff 250g pack made in Belgium.
Interesting Vid. Busting through 8K subscribers, wow!
Yeah I wasn’t really sure if anyone be interested in a shopping video like this, apparently people are! Got another one coming out in a couple of days.
I have recently been thinking about moving to Thailand - although I am as of yet undecided. I will have to do some more research first. But either way, I will finally be going back for at least a month next week so we’ll see how I feel about being back in the Asian heat and humidity after being in Europe for the last two years, haha.
Anyway, I don’t know if it actually works because I’ve never tried it in Thailand, but I have in other countries like Japan pre-covid. If you download Google Translate to your phone, you can use the camera to translate text for you - I’m sure it will make shopping much easier. Like I said; I don’t know if it actually works for Thai, but I would be surprised if it didn’t.
Just out of curiosity and of course you don’t have to answer because it’s none of my business, but what kind of visa do you have? I know I have heard of people living in Thailand on a tourist visa and just going in and out of the country to renew it, but I guess I’m just wondering if that actually works long term or not. I had a friend who used to do that in Taiwan a couple of years back and he never had a problem. Meanwhile immigration in Japan would get annoyed with me every time I showed up (I used to go every year pre-covid). I actually had an immigration officer pull me aside once and tell me “Your visa temporary, but YOU! YOU NOT TEMPORARY!!”, haha. He let me go on my way without issue afterwards, but still. It definitely made me a little bit more careful when dealing with immigration.
Yes google translate works perfectly here with Thai. Tourist visa will require you to leave the country after 90 days as that’s the max you can do. They are many different versus you could use, take a look at their website and see what best suits you.
you should have go to the 20thb store there are so many of them
Yes I have learned that now. I just wanted to show people what a big supermarket look like. I will have to go and visit one of the stores as well.
You should try “Bharani” beef noodle first right turn 5 minutes walking from the condo down soi23. They serves until 3pm
Thanks I’ll take a look at it next time I’m in that area.
Always get the jumbo pack of batteries! 😉 Lotus is great. Wait till you go to a Macro! Glad you learned the 1 and 1 shopping tags. That was great you saw yourself on TV. Did you arrange that?😂😉😂
Yeah I don’t need the 24 pack of batteries. Lol. As for the TV, I shall remain silent. Lol
@@LifewithSerg Understood! I will not tell!
Welcome to our sweet home
Thanks!
Awesome video!! Seriously educational & entertaining (air freshener 🐈💨 Lol) How much did the taxi home cost?
Glad you liked it Lisa! The taxi ride took about 25 minutes because of traffic and it was right around $5.
just go to IKEA store it has all the home furnishings you need
Oh yes, I’m very familiar with IKEA. However, I don’t really need any home furnishings as I am renting fully furnished condos.
Nice to show what others are going to have to simply go through also. Did you consider other places before choosing BKK, and whatever area/station you felt was good? As that transpo system and easy shopping/food access def seems to be a huge factor.
I wasn’t Bangkok wants 10 years ago, so I just wanted to headquarter from here. I didn’t really consider any other places because I really fell in love with Thailand. The food and transportation here is excellent.
Some supermarkets bring it to your house if you buy more then 2000 bath
Yes, I’m aware that they will deliver. Honestly since I’m so new here, I really want to just get out and find things for myself. Even when I was living in America, I always liked going out and picking up my own things.
@@LifewithSerg👍🙂
Generally, products in Lotus mall are cheaper than products from other malls. Especially the consumer goods are much cheaper than the 7-11. (although the same owner.)😅
That’s good to know. I also walked into a Marko store yesterday, apparently it’s a wholesale discount store.
@@LifewithSerg Makro too, same owner. 😂 Yes, there is a department store for wholesale products. but it's really cheap. If you are someone who doesn't like to go to the mall often, I recommend it. But there is a caveat that complicates you a bit, because you only need to be a member of Makro to buy from there, and there are also very few options for credit cards...🤥
The Costco of Thailand. Got it.
Be careful in this Lotus’s‘ only if the shelf says shampoo doesn’t mean it is lol. I showered with conditioner for 3 days 😂
Ha ha. Yes, I’ve never seen so many skin care and hair care products in one store before
Great video serg.. these are sometimes the things you don’t realise you have to buy and don’t budget for .. Thai people are amazing so helpful
Keep these vids coming
Glad you liked it. Dropped one last night, and will have another video out in a few days.
Bangkok is backing to live again, I see more foreigners walking around Sukhumvit area.
Yes we are here. Lol. Happy to enjoy this beautiful country.
Good job and I am enjoying very much.
Thanks you, I am happy you like it.
I am actually Thai and lives in Bangkok I don't know what to say other than this, my english isn't good
Thank you for watching! I appreciate you.
Your English is good! Better than mine!! 🤣😍
Hey Serg, your videos are awesome and appear to be relaxing to enjoy life in Thailand. I’m planning on a week on solo trip in Thailand. Could you make a video based on recommendation? Preferably, low budget trip.
You’ll love Thailand. There’s lots of videos on CZcams like that. Take a look.
Ok, now I’ve followed your channel. (11K)
Hey there! I appreciate your support.
Great content subscribed, could you tell the location of that tesco lotus and how to reach by mrt
On Nut, use BTS and get off at On Nut.
@@LifewithSerg Thank you, enjoyed watching your videos, one thing I have realized that BigC are more organized stores than lotus in Bangkok
Go back and buy the bear pillow! It’s so you! 🐻
Ha ha. You know me so well! Miss you!
In Thailand, many products are as expensive as in the US now like shampoo, toothpaste, toilet paper or laundry soap etc. I used to buy them in Thailand when I visited my parents. Not anymore! 😑
Yes all the things at the Lotus supermarket We’re definitely more than the US. I’m sure there are other stores here with better pricing, I just don’t know where they are yet.
@@LifewithSerg Try Big C. To me, it's like Walmart.
Yeah even the Lotus felt just like a Walmart.
I think McDonald's and KFC in Thailand yummy more than USA!!!
I haven’t tried KFC here yet. McDonald’s here tastes the same as in the US.
most of that beef was only $5/lb here in Kansas USA........ most beef prices are above $8-$18 / lb its insane how we are being ripped off by big grocery and big oil !!!!!!!!!!
Don’t forget the average salary here is approximately $800 a month. So even at five dollars a pound, this is quite expensive. The cost of labor is very low here compared to the US, that’s one of the reasons the products are so much cheaper.
