Many food vendors and small restaurants get their raw ingredients and seasonings at Makro. That's why the portions are bigger, because it's not really for household use unless you have a big family. And, yes, Aro is Makro's own brand.
I’m living in Chiang Mai and my family of four (2 adults / 2 kids), spend around 4,500 THB per week at Makro. I find Makro fresher, cheaper and better selection than Big C. We were Costco shoppers in the states, so Makro is our go to shop.
Icic! We did shop a lot at Costco in the past too 😅. We only have been to the Makro Food Service ones. One of these days we need to check out just MAKRO. We heard that one is identical to Costco in the states. Is that the one you guys go to in Chiang Mai?
@@ChovyTravel yes, we go to just the regular Makro. I’m not aware they have the food service types near us, but we are new here in Chiang Mai (but have been shopping at Makro for years, while on holiday in Thailand). You presented a good video on Makro, including prices and selection! Thanks for sharing.
to answer your Q, i started living a minimal, nomadic life after my dad passed away last year. sold off nearly all my belongings, and am squatting in a friend's house right now. so i don't do much grocery shopping because i don't cook. just the occasional toiletries and bread. cheap. when i get paid for my script, i think i will head over to Thailand for a short vacation. you guys have inspired me. 😀 or maybe i should live there for a while.
Makro is a wholesaler. You have to buy in packs or lots, which makes the unit price cheaper than other stores. There are 2 other stores that go in the same direction: Go Wholesale, a member of Central Group, and BigC, but BigC is a hybrid between modern trade and wholesale, so it depends on the branch you buy from. Lotus is a modern trade store of CP Group, which is the same owner as Makro. As for Foodland, Villa Market, Maxvalue(AEON is owner same 7-11 in Japan), Top, these focus on imported products from overseas, so there will be more options of foreign products than other stores. As for Central, The Mall, Seacon, Robinson these are super malls(Department store) that focus more on lifestyle than shopping, so the price of the products will be more expensive. As for Paragon, Emporium, Emquartier, Em Sphere, Siam Paragon, Central world, Mega Bangna, these are luxury lifestyle stores that sell iconic items and services. 😂😂😂
For Dalum milk, you can find at Tops and Max Value. Makro is owned by top ten company in Thailand, and probably top 100 in the world. That's why the price is not expensive. Customers from around the world.
Guys!!! Great shopping experience. Y'all be be cooking and eating at home for a month after today. I want to answer your questions backwards O.K.? First of all, Big-C is a hypermarket, with supposedly everything in it, although I think automotive stuff seems a bit lacking. Store decoration is much better than Makro, as well as better grade items 'coz they don't see themselves as a Cash 'n Carry (wholesale) store. In terms of shopping, I usually shop at Lotus for convenience being on the way back from my daughter's school. I would spend around 3K Baht per major visit and do this 3 times a month. So say around USD300 per month for food and related items for my family. This clip was fun. I think shopping for items makes fun videos to watch, if you spend a little more time checking the quality of items and make references to different outlets. Cheers guys!!!
You could find OX tail cut ( Thai French local raised from French ) in Villa food market in Frozen sections. Also you could go to gourmet Market under ground floor Siam paragon in meat section Fresh OX Tails of Thai Wagyu beef shop
@@ChovyTravel both shop are good quality oxtails price starting from 550-700 baht/kg. Import from Australia at the butcher shop in Tops food hall Central Chidlom is best but price started from 1,200 baht /kg.
Ox-tail in Thai is 'hang wua' - can often find it in Makro, occassionaly in Big C (frozen). Southern Thai Muslim sup hang wua is amazing, well worth the time it takes to make it
In my opinion, I will buy almost all my vegetable and seafood from a fresh market / local market because they are very fresh and cheaper. For meats, dairy product, and household products, I actually like to buy them from Lotus', especially meats since I think it is very clean, quite cheap too!
Lotus in Chiang Mai carries very little food and almost no variety. They seem to take the Target approach, where they have good but general merchandise is their bread and butter products.
On a recent trip to Thailand I definitely noticed the quality of food in Makro was superior to the street food outside. It’s a shame I didn’t have any options to cook because I was actually quite disappointed with the street food compared to 10 years ago.
@@ChovyTravel I found the older generation were generally better cooks than the younger generation. Unless you’ve been to Thailand around 10 years ago and it’s your first time there you wouldn’t have anything to compare against.
if you should have a large family or like food prepping and freezing, just try simmumuang market: huge batches for, from a western perspective, no money. I know it's wholesale/ farmers market but vendors would still sell smaller amounts for a little premium. Visited the market as a tourist and could try all kinds of fruit and veg for free, simply by communicating with the vendors. Samrong market is another option.
To me Dalum fresh milk is the best milk in Thailand and it doesn’t cost much only 58 baths but the problem is you can find them only at Max Value and Tops super market.
actually i saw some vid , articles, that in makro most brand is own by CP(Makro owner and also lotus's (this brought back from tesco recently) and 7-11) so price can be cheap due CP was in field of crops, fertilizer ,animal farming that dominated over50% of market I think 😅
When we went to Thepprasit night market, we only ate food so we wouldn’t know. 😄 if you’re comparing to Thepprasit vs Bangkok night market food prices… we say Thepprasit is on the cheaper side unless you go to a really local night market like Save One Go. Then, very comparable or some things might even be cheaper.
I’m sorry, I did not communicate properly. Thanks for bearing with me. There are fruits market that have fruits vegetables meat ect. How does these markets compare to the stores you previewed on this video?
Broccoli is a staple of mine. Every supermarket vid that I've seen, it seems to be absent. Do you happen to remember if broccoli was available at any of the stores you visited? Thanks a million!
0:24 Durring November to January we might get real Haas grown in the north Thailand which sell cheaply. Other than that you get other inferior varieties
I have both Makro and Tesco Lotus right in front of my home. and of course, I'm overweight. LOL Makro is like Costco, and I go Makro if I'm planning to not go out again in 2 weeks.
The vegetables and fruit look perfect, but unfortunately they are often not from Thailand. If you look under the stands, you will usually see the boxes with the imprint Product of PRC CHINA.....
@@ChovyTravel China produces it cheaper and Thais say China is our big brother.....and China is very active in Thailand with investments and tourism......Thailand has a duty..... China imports have already led to 680 company bankruptcies in 2024.....I don't know what is happening in agriculture but I suspect the same
Literally,the two rivals Makro and Big C have nothing different in terms of quality,prices and services,but it depends on location you conveniently approach.Hence,your food stockpile could make your new EP a bit delayed as the result of humongous food stuff in the cart!lol
Wow, you guys shopped a lot at Makro. Are you gonna finish all those in a week ? Personally, I love to shop at Tops. I think it is more expensive at Tops, but Tops has more imported stuff.
@@ChovyTravel Have you ever shopped at Tops in Central Chidlom ? It’s probably one of the biggest supermarkets in Bkk. You can literally find anything you want in there. Right now, Central Chidlom is being under renovated and it will probably reopen in a few months. It is much enjoyable to shop or even see around in that Tops. Another Tops at Central Bangna basement is big too, but not as big as the one in Central Chidlom. You may want to check it out. 😁
@@ChovyTravel this sweet fluffy thing is what europeans call toast bread. Every once in a while i like to have bread for breakfast. Can’t eat joke every day 555
Icic! That’s definitely why we would go going forward as well. I can see that for some people. We don’t mind the big portion veggies on some so we’re good on that too 😃
please don't forget that millions of Thai workers receive a daily wage of just 340 TB...the prices are very expensive for them......some time ago I spoke to a young man who was butchering chickens...always from midnight to 6 a.m., 7 days a week...he only got 100 TB per night...I asked why don't you ask for more...his answer was I can't...they'll fire me...there are enough others who work for that I asked how can you survive.... He said with prostitution

Thai people buy things mostly because of convenience. Therefore, the products sell well everywhere. Wherever it is convenient, they buy there. Makro is a wholesale market, so the prices are cheaper. Most buyers buy to resell or buy to cook and sell rather than to eat themselves. And will focus on selling in large quantities per 1 pack, so it can be seen that there will be fewer products in separate packs and there will be more items packed per pack than anywhere else. If you observe carefully, each shopping mall or market will have a specific group that mainly buys, and each shopping mall or market will have its own unique characteristics, some things have them, some things don't. And if you observe the processed products carefully, you will see that the price is the same no matter where you buy them because the products are controlled and cannot be sold above the price, which is controlled by the manufacturer and the Thai government to sell at this price only. Department stores have separate grades. If you want foreign products or foreign ingredients, go to a more luxurious department store. Or if you want products with different grades, even if they are the same brand, the quality will be very different if separated. For example, Siam Paragon, Emquartier, Central World will have more imported ingredients than normal department stores like Makro, Big-C, or Lotus.
Macro = for batch shopping
Big C/Lotus = for daily shopping, groceries
Tops = for higher quality groceries
Gourmet market = for fancy groceries
Couldn’t have said it any better myself 😅👍

Agree with your conclusion. For bulk purchase go Macro, and daily go Big C. Majority of Thai adapt same approach too.

Makro is actually a great place to shop for verity kind of ingredients, and usually they sale "Oxtail", it should be in a frozen beef section.

Yup! 😁 a lot is in the freezer
Thai people buy things mostly because of convenience. Therefore, the products sell well everywhere. Wherever it is convenient, they buy there.
Makro is a wholesale market, so the prices are cheaper. Most buyers buy to resell or buy to cook and sell rather than to eat themselves.
And will focus on selling in large quantities per 1 pack, so it can be seen that there will be fewer products in separate packs and there will be more items packed per pack than anywhere else.
If you observe carefully, each shopping mall or market will have a specific group that mainly buys, and each shopping mall or market will have its own unique characteristics, some things have them, some things don't.
And if you observe the processed products carefully, you will see that the price is the same no matter where you buy them because the products are controlled and cannot be sold above the price, which is controlled by the manufacturer and the Thai government to sell at this price only.
Department stores have separate grades. If you want foreign products or foreign ingredients, go to a more luxurious department store. Or if you want products with different grades, even if they are the same brand, the quality will be very different if separated. For example, Siam Paragon, Emquartier, Central World will have more imported ingredients than normal department stores like Makro, Big-C, or Lotus.
