Big C

22 Mar

Big C may not sound like a shopping mall but it certainly is. The name Big C had recently changed from Carrefour, but everything inside the mall is still the same. Big C is a supermarket place where you can get all you house appliances, and at the same time you can shop for clothes in wholesale price. Inside Big C there are small booths that sell variety of things such as socks, jackets, and many more. There is always a different stall at the center depending upon the trend going on. Big C also has many dining restaurants and small, yummy snack stalls. They also have particular shops of mobile and SIM cards like the most common ones, DTAC and Samsung.

Location: Big C, Rama 4 Road Khlongton

The first floor at the entrance always has the watch booth, gift booth, socks booth, accessories booth, and many more items. There is also shoes shop of Bata and other shoes stall sold in cheap prices and at good quality. There are also small shops of jackets, night suites, tops, and a lot of jeans, but they are not branded ones. Big C does have several brand stores such as Hass, Diesel, Armani Exchange, and many more. On the second floor, on the left side, there is a wine store with plenty of varieties. On the left handed side, there is this clothes shop which sells the olden Thai style cloth and some souvenirs.

Big C has Office Depot on the first floor where you can shop all your office supplies and school stationeries. You can also find local books and magazines in the book store right beside Office Depot.

The superstore itself does not only contain households and groceries but also sell electronics. Along with all the groceries, there is a small section of sport equipments where all types of ball, from soccer ball to basketball, and badminton racket to sport shoes, are sold.  There is also some great modern furniture from one of the famous and durable place, Index Furniture.  You can also buy gadgets of camera, mobiles, and any device related to computer and mobile. One of the best things about the supermarket is the bakery store which is at the very end. The bakery store of Big C has the different types of unique breads and cupcakes. The brownies and choco balls from there are really tasty. Behind the market, there is a store which sells some aromatic candles and small furniture along with it. In the supermarket, there is always some sale going on or promotions such as the Buy 1 get 1 free promotion, which is really common in Big C.

Big C also have a small photo booth where one side you can take passport size photo which can come in handy sometimes, and on the other side, you can make postcard photos with text and decorations. All you have to do is bring your USB or camera portable device, and you can add the photos in the machine. Then you can decide what to write and which background you want and get your photo done easily. It is only 20 baht per photo and it’s really worth it! This machine is located next to the MK restaurant. There are many other restaurants as well, particularly fast food, such as Yayoi, Mc Donald’s, KFC, Yum Saap, Swensons, Starbucks, Dairy Queen and more, where you can enjoy your lunch or dinner.

Beside Big C, there are numerous stalls selling clothes outside and they are quite fashionable and latest in trends. They are as well part of Big C. They are in the wholesale prices range and are very reasonable. However, it’s not branded, so if you are a branded person, then I would recommend you to buy from inside, and if you just like outfits that are trendy, then it is a really good place to buy some tops and shirts.

Big C has way more than what we think it has!
