Why go, and how to do it well
If you've got a long list of people to bring gifts home for, this is where I'd spend an hour. Reviewers keep coming back to the same point, that the souvenir selection here beats a lot of the shops that exist purely to sell souvenirs, and it's all under one roof with air conditioning. The beer and spirits aisle is worth a look too, domestic and imported, with the odd oddity like coffee-infused beer turning up.
It's a hypermarket, so groceries, household stuff, clothing and electronics all sit under the same roof. The grocery section has been redesigned recently and looks a lot smarter than it used to, and the basement food court is a cheap, quick lunch if you're mid-errand. Two caveats. Prices sit roughly where 7-Eleven does, which means smaller local shops and some rival chains will undercut you on a basic shop. And if you want speciality coffee beans or good tea, the choice thins out fast.

The best place to buy souvenirs. Big C is a quite famous super market chain in Thailand and I have been to some of their shops. This is by far the biggest Big C store in my experience. Plenty kind of items are available in reasonable prices even for locals. No reason not to come here if you are traveler who have lots of friends, colleagues and families in your living place.
Large department store with wide choice that is bit better than average Lotus or 7-Eleven, but some more gourmet items like natural coffee beans or tea are limited in choice. Great beer selection, dome unusual tastes like coffee-infused beer:) Prices are on par with 7-Eleven and bit higher than Lotus or something local like Supercheap.
When I visited at the end of December, the entire building was undergoing renovation. The grocery section had been redesigned to resemble Central, and it looked very impressive. The basement food court has also moved away from its former dark and dull atmosphere. I’m looking forward to a complete transformation.
