    a while back, i hit a point where i felt like everything was out of my control. i kept wondering why other people seemed to get what they wanted while i was stuck in the same place. then i came across this book called Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane. i wasn’t expecting much, but the way it explains the connection between your energy and the life you create? it blew my mind. it’s not just a book, it’s like a blueprint for turning your life around.

    so there was this period in my life when i kept attracting the wrong people, wrong opportunities, everything just felt…off. i couldn’t figure out why it kept happening. then one day, a friend mentioned a book called Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, saying it helped them see the patterns they didn’t even realize they had. i decided to give it a read, and wow, it opened my eyes to how much my own energy was shaping my life. seriously, this book is something else.

    BKK is truly the NYC of Southeast Asia. Foodie, shopping, and nightlife dream in a much safer environment. You guys inspire me to retire early. Curious, are the prices in Makro comparable to the prices here in U.S.? or lower?

      Honestly, it’s been awhile since I’ve been in US and I heard prices have gone up way higher since we left (Approximately 2 Years). However, I’m pretty sure it’s still a lot cheaper here than US. Especially in California, from where we are from 😅

    i remember this one night i was scrolling aimlessly, feeling like i had hit rock bottom. it felt like nothing i wanted was ever going to happen for me. i don’t know why, but i clicked on this link about the book Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, and something about it drew me in. the more i read, the more i felt like it was written just for me. it’s wild how much a single book can change your perspective.

    The online price is actually a little bit higher than the in-store price, and the delivery is by a third party, so you need to check for the items you receive. I ordered online a couple of times and one time, some items were missing.

    Makro Thailand initially opened in 1989 with a policy that restricted shopping to members only. Non-members were not allowed to purchase goods. This policy was particularly aimed at businesses and organizations that needed to buy in bulk.
    However, in recent years, Makro has changed its policy, allowing the general public to shop without requiring a membership. Although non-members can now shop, members still receive special benefits such as exclusive discounts and promotions.
    The exact year when this policy change occurred isn't clearly documented, but it is known that by 2014, non-members were already allowed to shop at Makro.

    The thing you guys had was not tempura. It's Ebi Fry.
    The difference is the batter.
    Ebi Fry is more similar to Tonkatsu which is thicker and has bread crumb on the top layer.
    While tempura batter is quite light and fluffy

    Please don't compare with Costco,
    That's a big time difference,
    Costco costumers service is the best all over America 🇺🇸.
    Makro prices marked very small. It's hard to read. Costco merchandise can return very easily, Makro holds your return money almost a month.

    • @ChovyTravel
      @ChovyTravel  7 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      100% Agree in regards to the customer service and merchandise returns are very easy.
      However, I was referring more to the fact that, Makro has free membership, the public can access commercial items, and the seafood was way better than what I experienced at Costco in the states.
      With experience in the restaurant business industry, I am very particular about my seafood and I was really impressed with it at this particular Makro.

    I'm not surprised to hear that you've opened a restaurant before, judging from the way you describe ingredients and give ratings (I'd rather not assume you've had similar incidents in some states in 1992). I don't know if you'd like to open a restaurant in Thailand, but do it online. My friend from Melbourne did that, targeting a specific customer group.
