Shopping

There are many great markets in town where you get fresh vegetables, fruits, clothes, pets etc. If you prefer western food you there are a couple of Supermarkets. Lotus- Tesco at the Hang Dong Road and on the north side of town. In the 2. Floor you’ll find a childrens play area, a foodcourt and plenty little stalls selling everything from popcorn to cometic articles.

Big C, Carrefour and Marko are some other shopping centers.For more imported articles such as swiss muesli, good coffee I can recommend the Kasem Store on Nimmenheimen Road.
Bake and Bite on Mohidol Road has a fresh bakes goods.

Tops Super Market in Central Airport Plaza and Khad Suan Kaew has a good choice of baked goods, mexican food, wine, salads and sandwiches to take away.

Le Chocolate a new chocolate shop in Nimmenheimen. Very important lol

Kasem on Nimmenheimen has cheap and good coffee, baked goods and alot of imported goods.. and you might find what you need for that special cake in this shop.

Rimping has two shops. One near Novotel , Chang Puek Road and one not far from the Navarat Bridge, right near the Ping river. Great selection of wine, cheese and other expensive imported food. If you miss shopping like in Europe, this is the shop for you.
