Shopping at Thai Supermarkets & Convenience Stores

Updated 2026 · Totally Bangkok

Tops, Big C, Villa Market, Gourmet Market — and the endlessly useful 7-Eleven.

7-Eleven

Every 200 metres throughout Bangkok — fresh pastries baked daily, microwaveable Thai food, cold drinks, medication, phone top-ups, and bill payment; the true backbone of Bangkok life.

Big C & Tesco Lotus

Thai-owned hypermarkets with excellent fresh produce, cheap dry goods, and a food court; prices significantly below tourist areas.

Tops Market

Mid-range supermarket chain with good imported goods and quality fresh produce; usually in malls.

Villa Market

Bangkok's best supermarket for international imports — Australian beef, Western cereals, international wine; used by expats and upper-middle-class Thais.

Gourmet Market

Premium imported food in Emporium and EmQuartier; Japanese, Korean, European products; the most expensive option but best quality imported goods.
