Makro Mayhem?
So I'm heading to Makro near the Ramkhamhaeng area next week to stock up on supplies for a big party. I've heard the sheer scale of the place is insane – like a Costco on steroids. My question is: h… more
Go in with a plan. Seriously. Make a list. Don't just wing it. That place is HUGE. They have maps near the entrance, grab one and actually look at it before you go wandering off. Also, if you can, go with someone who's been before. A second pair of eyes is invaluable in that labyrinth. And most importantly, bring a fully charged phone and maybe even a portable charger – you'll need the GPS if you get truly lost. It's a fun experience, but getting lost is less fun.
Yeah, you're totally right. I should've known better than to just wander in blind. I ended up circling the frozen foods section for like, twenty minutes. Twenty! A map would have been a lifesaver. And a portable charger? Genius. My phone died halfway through and I was seriously considering just setting up camp amongst the discounted cleaning supplies. Next time, I'm following your advice.

That's awesome you found that! Si Phraya is a goldmine for that kind of stuff. The street art scene there is pretty underground, a lot of it's just… there. Word of mouth is your best bet, honestly. I doubt you'll find much official documentation online. Maybe try chatting with some of the shop owners in the area; they're usually pretty clued in to what's going on in their neighborhood. Good luck tracking down the artist! It sounds killer.
