we discovered this place called "Macro", just like "Costco" in USA. The funny thing is the variety of the items are totally different. They also have fresh produce department, seafood department and meat department. I attached a picture of what kind of meat they put it on display, it scared me a little when I walked through the isle but I guess it was because I didn't expect to see head, I used to see it all the time in Hong Kong at the wet market.
The regular supermarket here called "Lotus" is like our "Whole Food". We have been there a few times to stocked on drinks or snacks and they have what we need at a similar price. I personally find there's no advantage to shop at this Macro in Thailand at all except the frozen food items. Macro has frozen dumplings from Hong Kong, Japan and Korea; lamb from New Zealand or Australia; beef from Argentina or USA but the quality of the steak is far from Prime quality in USA.
Einstein used to say: "It won't called 'Research' if we know what we are doing."
Obviously we don't know what we are doing, but this is a good research trip, just to look a few layers deeper than a tourist perspective.
