The Makros in Thailand with a Taste of Australia
Who does not know the (originally Dutch) Makro in Thailand, but also elsewhere in the world? The Makro on Sukhumvit Road in Pattaya South has been part of a large trading empire in Thailand since the establishment of Siam Makro plc in 1988. Over 130 stores are located in Thailand alone with multiple expansions into India and Cambodia.
Reader question: Does the Makro deliver at home?
I see that I can do my online shopping at Makro. Does Makro then deliver the groceries at home or do you have to pick them up at the store? And what does it cost? I assume I don't need to have a business to use this?
Can you also make purchases at the Makro in Udon Thani with a Dutch Makro card?

Unsurprisingly, on Makro's opening day in Hua Hin, people were hanging out with their legs. Finally, the royal seaside resort has a large supermarket.
