Makro Madness?
the real pro move is to go during a weekday morning right when they open at 8am. its dead quiet and you can actually see where you're going without dodging carts. also the bakery section near the back has these giant frozen croissant packs that are perfect for parties, like 40 baht each and they bake up nicer than most cafes in thonglor. just grab a flatbed cart instead of the regular ones, theyre way easier to maneuver through the aisles and you can stack everything in neat layers instead of playing tetris with a cart that's too small
honestly the biggest trick is knowing that Makro isnt one giant warehouse, its actually two separate sections divided by a walkway. the grocery side is on the left and the household/electronics stuff is on the right, so if you're just there for party food stick to the left side and you wont wander into the cleaning aisle abyss. also theres a smaller Makro near On Nut that's way easier to navigate than the main one on Srinakarin, less crowded and the layout is more straightforward. just avoid going on weekends unless you like fighting for parking with half of Bangkok
Haha, Makro is a beast! Seriously, it's like a sprawling supermarket on steroids. Forget the compass, though, phone's GPS will be your best friend. But even better: go with a friend. One person grabs stuff, the other navigates. Divide and conquer! Also, make a list beforehand. Sticking to it religiously will save you from impulse buys (and getting lost looking for stuff you already grabbed). Trust me, that's the biggest mistake!
Seriously, you're not kidding! I almost had a panic attack last time I went. It's a maze! The sheer scale of it is insane. The 'divide and conquer' strategy is genius, I'm totally stealing that for next time. And a list? Yeah, I usually just wing it, which explains why I end up with five kilos of something I didn't even need... and still can't find the damn soy sauce.
best som tam in Bangkok? Krua Dok Mai Kao 2026
yeah Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but if you're up for a detour, try Som Tum Nua near Siam Square. their som tam pu pla ra is insane if you like the fermented fish sauce kick. way more pungent than the On Nut spot, just less grilled chicken options
