Big C
Boasting more than 20,000 online consumer products, Big C is one of the biggest Bangkok online shopping stores and one of the biggest physical hypermarket chains in the country too.
It is possible to buy food products, home appliances and electrical goods, snacks and sweets, alcohol and other beverages, health and beauty items, discounted fashion, and pet accessories — and just like in the physical Big C stores there are a lot of discounted items and promotions online.
Ordering online is easy, simply choose your desired products and add them to the cart as you would with any other online shopping site.
Customers can choose to have their goods delivered to their home address, or they can pick up their prepared order in person at a Big C store. Easy peasy!
Tesco Lotus
The Thai version of good old British Tesco — Tesco Lotus — features many of the products that you’ll be familiar with from Tesco stores back home. You can even use your clubcard!
Shopping is either done online, or via the Tesco Lotus Smartphone app from the Apple app store or Google Play. Much like Big C, there are a huge number of promotions and discounts available.
There is plenty of fresh veg available, as well as fresh meat and seafood, dairy products, drinks, household essentials, and health and beauty items, plus much more — and most brands and products will be more than familiar to the average Brit.
Add your chosen items to the virtual shopping cart, choose the delivery time slot most convenient for you, and either pay online with a bank card or pay at the door when you receive your delivery.
Tops
Featuring plenty of online discounts and free delivery for orders over 1500 THB, Tops is one of the cheaper Bangkok online shopping options.
Tops is one of the largest supermarket chains in Thailand, and the online shops features an extensive array of over 10,000 products such as fresh fruit, meat, fish, and veggies, a good selection of wine and alcoholic drinks, ready meals, health and beauty products, snacks, household goods and lots of other products besides.
We love Tops for its particularly impressive international cheese selection.
Orders are made using the online store website, and payment can either be made at the time of placing the order, or via cash on delivery.
Tops delivers all orders made within 24 hours, with all orders submitted before 1pm being delivered the same day.
Paleo Grocery
In the last few years the Paleo diet has taken the food world by storm. Based on the diet of our hunter gatherer ancestors, the Paleo diet is purported to be one of the best ways to eat well and stay healthy by avoiding all processed sugars and preservatives, grains, legumes and factory farmed meats.
Paleo Robbie is a well known food delivery service in Bangkok, but they also have a grocery branch: ideal for people who want to whip up Paleo-friendly meals at home.
Thanks to the Paleo Grocery, you can easily follow this nourishing and healthful diet without any of the hassle by ordering online from their selection of over 300 unique fresh products including wild meats and fish, nuts and berries, primal dairy, natural wine, chocolates, and cooking oils.
Plus you can be assured that the provenance of the foods available is sustainable and as healthful as possible.
There is a minimum order amount of 1,500 baht for the grocery. For your first order, providing your basket adds up to 2,000 baht or above, you’ll receive a 250 baht discount. Delivery is free within Bangkok and made within 1-2 working days. They deliver anywhere in Thailand.
Radiance Wholefoods
Radiance’s whole focus is on organic living, so you can be sure that only the best, fresh organic produce and wholesome foods with natural, chemical free ingredients are available in the Radiance Wholefoods online store.
The range of meticulously chosen products ranges from organic vegetables, wild meats and fish, teas and other drinks, special dietary supplements, gluten free products and healthy snacks and superfoods, to natural household products.
The online shop is easy to use and deliveries are made either in the morning or afternoon, with an email being sent out one business day before to let you know when it’s due to arrive. Fresh produce such as fruit and veg are delivered on Wednesdays only, so orders must be received by midday Tuesday.
Delivery fees are dependent on your locality. It’s 50 baht for orders in 10110 postcode in Klongtoei and Watthana.
Adams Organic
Adams Organic was one of the best and most reliable delivery services for internationally certified organic produce, with goods grown in special farms in the Thai countryside,
Sadly, on 11 August 2017, they announced they would be shutting down at the end of August, saying that, “Although there is a growing demand in Thailand for organic produce, we failed to maintain a sustainable business model.”
Hopefully someone will step in to fill Adams Organic’s boots soon.
