Same in UK. Will I be able to use my MAKRO card in Thailand?
Enjoying 'Retirement'....So many jobs to do, I don't know how I ever had time to work!

If they don't have what you want at new store just go down to Makro in Pranbury. Not that far away. With Big C nearby, surely you should be able to find what you want between the two.
Re: New Makro store in Hua Hin will not be full service
Just wait and see. As in the Pranburi store, all farangs will most likely be issued a card on request.
They want business, regardless of how small.

I live in Udon thani and go to the Makro store here
I dont even have a card, I just walk straight in, buy what i want, go to the checkout
The cashier asks for the card, I say "dont have" and she just puts it through
Do you really think that they are going to turn down money??

^ Yea, it's on Petchkasem at the extreme north end of Hua Hin. Passed it yesterday on the way back from Bangkok. The steel framing is up but that's about it so far.
BaaBaa, I think the one in Pranburi will still be more convenient for us. The Hua Hin one may be a bit closer, but it will still be quicker (and easier) imo to go to one south of Hua Hin.

My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

I reckon that's quite correct. In the old days, Nurdin & Peacock and Bookers were pretty strict about "trade only". Macro were far more relaxed.Lung Per wrote:Just wait and see. As in the Pranburi store, all farangs will most likely be issued a card on request.

HH -
The one I think you are talking about is Tesco. Purportedly the permit was issued for a Tesco warehouse there. Someone posted a picture off Google Earth on another thread a few weeks ago. This one is near the Holiday Inn/Regent.
I think the Macro is nearer town by the Bo Fai district. When we were at Immigaration last week my wife verified the Macro location with a woman who was selling Macro cards to the clerks in the office. It's on the west side of Petchkasem and there's a big fence around it with lots of work going on but no framing as of yet.
