Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

This is the place to come when holiday preparations start piling up. Sunscreen, a charging cable, water in bulk at prices lower than at the beach shops, and a new T-shirt to replace the ruined one. The supermarket is the heart of it all – large and well-stocked – but the complex around it offers much more: HomePro, a hardware store, mobile phone and electronics shops, clothing stores, bakeries, massage chairs, and a cinema. Families will find a children's playground and rides that offer them a twenty-minute respite.

The food court is inviting. Reviewers praise the chicken and rice dish with plenty of meat and the green curry with rice for 135 baht. The portions are large, the prices low, and it's an ideal place to while away a few hours on a rainy afternoon. The service at the registers is somewhat impersonal, so don't expect a warm welcome when you receive your receipt. Wide aisles, clean floors, and easy price comparison.
