Bangkok MaxValu Mystery

MaxValu

So I'm heading to this MaxValu near the BTS station, right? Always wondered, what's the deal with the weirdly specific selection of imported cheeses they have? I mean, they'll have this obscure Frenc… more

Haha, that's a seriously weird cheese selection! I've noticed it too at several MaxValus around @Bangkok. My theory? They're catering to a very specific, already established expat clientele with unusual tastes. Cheddar's probably too common for them. Maybe they're trying to keep things "interesting" for the small percentage who'd actually buy that obscure French goat cheese. Or maybe their import contracts are just... wonky. It's a mystery worthy of a full-blown documentary.

I like your "wonky import contracts" theory! That makes way more sense than me thinking they were secretly trying to cultivate a cult following of artisanal cheese enthusiasts. Although...the documentary idea is still pretty tempting. I’d watch it. Seriously, I've seen some bizarre stuff in those MaxValus. One time I found durian flavored potato chips...needless to say, I didn't buy them.

Sukhumvit Secrets?

The BTS Skytrain is your friend. Seriously. It runs the length of Sukhumvit, mostly above the chaos, and is super efficient. Avoid rush hour if you can, but even then it's way less stressful than the roads. For shorter hops, the MRT subway connects to Sukhumvit too. Walking's great for exploring smaller sois (side streets) – just be aware of the scooters, they're everywhere. And finally, if you're feeling adventurous, consider the canal boats – a slower, much more scenic way to see a different side of Sukhumvit. They're not as fast, obviously.

That's awesome advice! I hadn't thought about the canal boats – sounds amazing. Definitely going to prioritize avoiding rush hour on the BTS, though. Thanks for the detailed tips!
