The P-Mart near Homepro must be opening soon, the planting is finished and I think the car park is finishing also.

Thanks, I was wondering what they sold. 


However, I expect their location to cause multiple accidents.

P-Mart is owned by Makro and sells frozen food and I do mean frozen.  http://www.pmart.co.th/en/

Nice shop, good prices but no English tags. Hard to see what is in a frozen bag if you can not read Thai.

Yeah, what's Thai for yellow wobbly bits?

I've met the owner and he did not indicate it as being a part of CP owned Makro. Got Lost could be correct. Maybe the same interior designer. Some of the same freezers. There is a reason the web site is in Thai | Chinese | English.

Customers can browse product in our cold storage rooms, which are controlled at -20oC. We also have a wide selection of products on display in our showroom display cabinets through-out the store.

Made it to P Mart.  It appears to me that this store is mainly for food preparers such as restaurants, village market sellers or the scooter food carts.  Most of the food is frozen but there is a refrigerated section in back.  Much of the food sold is in too much bulk for the average person/family IMHO.  But they have a large selection of sea food (especially squid), chicken, and pork; and some beef and duck (no turkeys that I saw).  However, the labeling is almost entirely in Thai, English is just used for the main section signs, makes it difficult to identify some items.



Also there is an upstairs with consists of food packing and eating utensils.  And if needed there is a elevator you can use.

Is a kilogramme pack too large? I don't think so. There is a plethora of items available in kg pack size.

There is to be an upgrade and a proper opening on 17th of this month. There will also be more household items available upstairs after 17th.

Their website translates into English when using Chrome.  Favorites so far are strawberries, mussels.  Won't buy the crabs again and the marinated pork was tto fatty (but the hot dogs were better than the mostly filler ones at the market).

Went to P Mart and they have changed again (like from last week).  They are no longer selling unfrozen meat like pork and chicken.  They have added to their cookware, for example they now have personal deep fryers. 

In addition, they have re-labled the freezer items to include English.  However, some of the translations may be a bit off, so unless they are advertising selling stolen meat I am not sure what they mean by "poached" beef.
