New Carrefour Mega-Store

[David_Bekam 1]

Have just been to the new Carrefour megastore on pattaya central road.  Its even bigger than the Tesco Lotus places, with a separate store for DIY furniture etc... and a superb foodhall.  i had a look round and saw nearly everything you can get in Europe.  When a company like Carrefour makes such a big investment in Pattaya they must think it has a good future.

Been there a couple times since they opened and found the DIY and furniture dept very good. Spent a few thousand BHT on those occasions.  

 

On returning to buy some more stuff yesterday, my wife was asked to leave her small bag (with all our money, a large tape measure, notepad and a passport) at the front desk.

We tried to explain (politely) that we would need our money at check out, the tape measure for obvious reasons and our unwillingness to  leave the passport, also that there would not be room in the small bag to steal anything from them, although they would be welcome to search it on our way out.

 

Unfortunately they declined and we were refused entry.  ???

 

Don’t think we will be returning there in the near future.

Wombat…

Not suggesting they were trying to scam me at all, but was quite pissed off by their attitude and unwillingness to be reasonable.
