I kinda like the idea of single man in Thailand apartment cooking videos. Showing us how to eat random meals and saving a few bucks. 👍
Chicken rice is about 60-70 baht a meal like most dishes. Daily food budget of 300 baht (8.6 dollar) is enough for 1 person.
Cooking at home is only gonna save you money if you like to eat a lot of meat.
Can’t really cook much here unfortunately. You’re lucky if you have a stove top. More convenient to eat out most days
Most people think Thailand is a 3th world country till they visit these kind of supermarkets/malls. Everything is in English and these kind of supermarkets are more fancy then the one's in Belgium, France, Spain, Italy etc...
Yes more high tech and hygienic. I’m from the states in BKK now
You are so right. I was surprised that Bangkok is more modern than any big Canadian city.
@@PORSCHE_COUNTRY. yes verrrry convenient. Not mad at it
Their grocery stores look better than alot of U.S. stores.
A lot of those products are cheaper in the west. For example, hash browns are double the price in Thailand. .
Because they are not typically eaten foods there. Local foods are far cheaper, it’s the same in Africa and many other places, these frozen foods and western foods are far more expensive because they import them. The local foods are super super cheap. Better to buy from local markets.
Shit man you would have spent $32 here just on the wings and steak alone and I live in Atlanta Georgia. I'm glad you did this. Next time take a little more time in the alcohol section so we can see what the beer and wine costs for some of us who like to drink. You did damn good on the price. You're winning! My house goes up for sale next month. I'll be there shortly.
I’m from ATL living in Bangkok now and you’re right about the wings 😂😂 you gotta go to the spot that’s connected to the gas station lololol
Beer is like 1 buck for 330ml can or bottle (local brand like Chang, wine is about 20 bucks plus depending on grades and origins.
Never go to the supermarket hungry! You will definitely overspend
Right? Like a medium sized bag of frozen mixed berries for $5? We need a local market grocery haul
Very helpful videos for me, as I move to Thailand next month. Keep 'em coming, Isaiah!
Thanks! Will do!
Just like the states. The first thing you see walking in is the rotisserie chicken.
The imported ice cream was expensive but I did notice local brands next to it much cheaper and probably nicer lol
What you may need to know is that Makro and Lotus supermarkets are owned by the same person, CP Group, and Makro is cheaper because it is a wholesale market for shops and restaurants.
They have Makro in the United Kingdom, so that’s cool to see that there.
Bro seriously never shop hungry you overspend by a ton!! Eat a meal before and take notes of what your short on.. and good job showing tips on supporting local stuff on fruits n veggies
Its funny watching you walk through the stores i shop at regularly...
Nice. I’ve been in Bangkok (from ATL) a little over 2 months now and I either use FoodPanda, eat out at a restaurant, or go to 7/11😭 I haven’t been brave enough to try the street food. I need to cook more!
Go the street food vendors that are popular with locals
Been to Thailand heaps never been sick once eat 50% Street food
You will be fine. Humans have very acidic stomachs so can deal with alot more than we are made to believe in the west
Isaiah I enjoy your videos! Very authentic and informative
There is actually a COSTCO in Bangkok called TOPS CLUB! Costco and Tops Market have partnered up to offer Bangkokians a Costco warehouse shopping experience. At Tops Club you will find the KIRKLAND brand food and merchandise. KIRKLAND is the house brand for Costco. Tops Club is located on the outskirts of Bangkok next to Central Rama 2.
Too bad to telling you that Tops Club was gone now. They don’t operate anymore. It’s sad because it’s has many imported products but seem like no one need. So they decided to shut it down after like 1 year.
@@bbbatticus9574 - Wow! I had no idea. I just read online that it closed on October 2, 2023. Perhaps it was too pricey for the average Thai consumer. Too bad, I was planning to move to Bangkok in 2-3 years, and it would have been nice to have a Costco-like warehouse store there.
Thanks for sharing this content! This info is very important for those with dietary restrictions.
🐐🐐🐐🐐 this type of content is perfect. And needed. We Preciate you!
Thanks for sharing really helpful
Nice do more of this on your channel very informational thanks 👍🏾
Thanks for the video Ashley and for working hard to share different types of content. Could you consider making three different videos, (10-15 minutes long) and showing the differences between each store?
I plan to move there in 2 yrs. The first one is better than my local Sam's club. It is bigger with a good selection of brands!. The stores are so big there not like small ones in tourist area.
Hi Isaiah, do you enjoy playing ping pong? I am from US living part time in Jomtien area, would enjoy meeting people here and staying active. Best wishes for your channel.
Yes we do, definitely gotta join you
I love videos like this, thank you Isaiah, very informative. Everything was ridiculously cheap. I'm curious to know how they priced the seafood per unit of weight. I actually wouldn't mind a 2 hour grocery shopping video lol, which includes items you would get at a hardware store, and an electronics store. That gives me a thorough understanding.
Talking about cooking steak. Do any of the properties you stay at allow a small BBQ pit????
Very informative
Love your long videos 😊
New subscriber here. Just binged a bunch of your videos LOL Great channel and content! I love the grocery walk video. I've noticed that in the first store there were much more western people than in the second store. Also ,the dairy is waaaay more than in the US
More videos like this would be dope daily life and living with cost
very informative video. stuff like the strarwberry bag was 1kg and weight. i just realized that thailand now has the old usa prices lol
Thanks for this. I’ll be in pattaya soon
4:00 You can scan QR CODE if you have Thai bank account. This way you can pay it just fine. Online paying is everywhere in Thailand even in rural areas.
I like sourdough bread and pumpernickle Black rye bread. More healthier. I also like lots of nuts, seeds and fresh fruits. Fresh milks. I like the rotisserie bbq chicken for sandwiches and leftovers are for soup with carrots, celery, potatoes and shell pasta. I make the soup taste great.
Your resistance game is strong, if I were as hungry as you I'd be straight into that KFC
I know exactly where you are...My mom lives between that Lotus and that Big C. Whenever I visit her, I shop at Big C for their French bread and French brand (Casino).
But, we usually shop at the Thepprasit Night Market for great take-out yummies! I miss Thailand already!
Love these can you make a video on us finding jobs in Thailand…
This guy is great! Hug him!
Yes, Please make one longer!😅
Shoutout Makro.... All the way from South Africa
BLUE BOOK GENTLEMAN PROTECT THIS MAN AT ALL COSTS!! GREAT VIDEOS BUDDY
Thanks for showing us this. I was wondering if they had a place like this in Thailand.. KFC are everywhere !! And 7/11!!
My wife and I will be in Pattaya tomorrow. Are you up for dinner or lunch on Sunday? Looking to eat at some Seafood buffet you saw on YT. Our treat... as we been watching you for a while since you moved there.
Sure I’d be down to join 👌🏾
@@theisaiahashleyshow4251 Cool... I'll DM you tomorrow once we get settled in the hotel and we can meet on Sunday...
Man next time go to premium supermarket like tops, gourmet market and villa market oh and also foodland. Many imported stuff and premium grades food but the prices is also higher tho.
Nice work bro, where are you in thailand located ? Iam coming to thailand soon :D
This is super affordable. I need to visit Thailand next year.
Very similar prices to UK. Strange as minimum wage is 8 times lower there. This must be for the middle class and up
I would live to know how long have you lived there and what made you choose this beautiful place?. Thank you 🎉😊
with all the shopping how do you transport your items home, if you don't drive? do you have a buggy since you walk a lot?
Happy new year 🎉🎉🎉2024🎉🎉🎉
Makro is in the UK and yes its like Cosco
this is probably normal for USA but damn this place is huge.
Definitely more in the states
Hey you forgot the celery for the wings. Need more greens in your diet. By the way, do they sell celery in Thailand? I've watched a few of these grocery store vids and have never seen it. Broccoli and celery are a big part of my diet and was hoping to continue to have it when I move there. Thanks!
@2:40 I think those strawberries were in 1000gm (1kg) bags. So 2.2 lbs.
imported goods get high taxes to bring in
drives the prices
so as imported wine & alcohol more expensive in Thailand
Hey, can you please show more black people or African expat who live in Thailand in your next video? We need to see more black and brown shade in SE Asian country.
Bro that's few and far in between. I'll be there next year for good! You wanna see it, more of us have to move there. I'm retired now and 54 years old so I will definitely be there.
Why? People can choose where they live themselves lol
So is the chicken completely safe to eat? Was it kept cold? If you eat from the grocery store and drink bottled seltzer water can I avoid getting sick from sloppy food prep I hear a lot about.?
We don't cook much at home anymore in Jomtien. We have good restaurants in front of our door with 50-60-70 Baht meals....
I'm from Belgium and when we go to the Big C, Lotus etc i'm always amazed the food is most of the time more expensive then in my home country Supermarkets Aldi and Lidl. Ofcourse if i compare it with Carrefour and the big fancy supermarkets here Thailand is much cheaper and their supermarkets are always very clean and are more like shopping malls in Thailand.
In Belgium we cook always at home because we only make Asian food and 15 Euro (take out) for a Thai dish is difficult for my wife to pay mentally when that same dish only cost 60-80 baht in her country 😀
I live in jomtien, super market are more expensive. It’s cheaper to shop, where the locals shop. They have mom and pop shops all over and it’s a lot cheaper.
like I heard common Thai dish price is about the price of good mid-tier buffet here.... it makes me shock.
500 BAHT !?!?!? 600-700 could get us a decent Japanese buffet in Thailand.
it equal to high level Western/Japanese/Chinese Alacarte price which we absolutely couldn't accept for our common everydayThai dish LOL
@@qwantstotravel ratanakorn market right next to "The Colosseum" is a very good, cheap and big market with fresh food every day 😉
@@mickbotcast we eat buffet ( meat, fish) drinks included for 400 baht per person here 😁
When i'm in Belgium we never go out to eat 🤣
@@svenw.6918 That’s the one, I’m talking about. I shop there 3 days a week.
It seems like dairy in particular is similarly priced or even high relative to the US. What I've found odd is that there doesn't ever seem to be chicken broth available,
WRT MAKRO - COSTCO items are about the same price as usa, but imports are more. chicken wings are cheap
I would like to buy a condo in pattaya in 4-5 years from now. Maybe we can track you down to give us a shortcut for recommendations of condos
Check out Coopers thai adventures
They have Tesco in the UK as well, but I know in Malaysia, Tesco is no longer run by Lotus. Not sure if it’s like that in Thailand. Tesco is nothing like that in the UK though, not sure about now though because I haven’t lived there in eight years.
i have quetion thailand have dictory book that want to buy in thailand? iwant the dictory book
At the big box stores can you pay with card? Answer 16:51
Big c and lotus accepts card
I miss home lol
I just picked up a phone that fell out of a guy's pocket who sounded just like you. I just got a chili dog from that Dairy Queen in that Tesco.
Hold on. Makro? I always thought its a south african brand. Is equivalent to costco but branding looks different to the south african makro.
Man you blew through those places too fast . Great idea for a video but you missed alot of items prices and most of the quantities. It's hard to know if Something is a good deal without the quantity. Also, would have been useful to know more staples cost.
imported things are high as heck. how do you spell that shopping website you recommended
Lazada
@@theisaiahashleyshow4251 thank you my brother
makro best prices
LOTUS HO HUM
big C nothing of note
Coke or Pepsi? Price?
👍🏽
Damn, everything is quite expensive in the supermarket there, is any of this even organic?
?
Good content … 🙏🏽 if looking for interview for different perspective contact me … I’m in pattaya
Food very cheap there compared to the usa.
For these prices I would just stick to eating out
The prices don’t seem cheap at all… it’s the Equivalency of being in the United States
Same prices as England aswel. But the wages ate so much higher here. Don't understand how an average thai could afford this
@@user-ub5qp8sq1w I agree
It’s mostly cheaper to eat out than cook in Thailand … dude u still ain’t saying what u goin to do about visa long term ( unless ur above 50 ) or have money for elite visa 5 years visa = $26.000 yes 26 thousands dollars
Whole paycheck 《foods》 is $32 per pound of steak...smh
Have you caught dengue fever yet?
No
@@theisaiahashleyshow4251it's only a matter if time 😢
Super crazy, how everything is predominantly labeled in English, including the name of the store
That’s because mostly farang shop there. When you live In Thailand, Thai local do not shop in stores like In United States. They shop first in the street market (because it’s Thai price). Then they might pick up small random things at big c, or macro.
If you only shop at the stores and inside malls, you will spend just as much as you spend In your county, if not more.
@@TheChadNapier I think only import stuff is expensive and I still feel like buying some of those stuff to cook ourselves is better than street market cheap imitation of Western/Japanese food.
we often need to check for promotion/special price before buy any of it tho...
@@mickbotcast shopping at local street markets where all the Thai locals shop are the best quality and price. I’m not referring to street food vendors but actual street market, like a farmers market. I usually spend around 1000 baht a week at the street market and that’s for two peeps 🤪 big c will have some things, along with macro. But majority it bought at the street market.
@@TheChadNapier those are indeed dirt cheap and very fresh°
