A small note, suddenly someone else does not know so comfortable opportunities like food and household goods delivery from the supermarket Tesco. For us, it was just a salvation! The only bad thing is that from those places where wintering campers and campers live, there is only delivery Phuket, Pattaya, Bangkok (and its surroundings), Chiang Mai and chiang rai. Fresh prices from Tesco I also laid out.

What is the convenience
I think it is obvious to everyone what the delivery is convenient for: you don’t need to go to shop, plus you save time on choosing products, throwing one and same to cart (ordering from previous order). But there is one more an important point for those who are NOT planning to use a bike or car, because it does not know how to drive or save – you can choose housing without reference to the supermarket.
This time when we went to Phuket, we had a mandatory the condition that the house should be within walking distance from the sea and from supermarket at the same time. Under this definition fit only two Beach: Bang Tao and Kamala, not a lot. Yegor we are afraid to carry on bike, and the car rental, we felt overhead. Yes i could ride one for groceries, but I don’t always have time to I was planning to leave for 2-3 weeks. Especially on the bike a lot and not you will take away For example, our last order from Tesco barely fit to the grocery cart (vegetables, fruits, bottled water, 12 packs of juice, cereals, etc.). So, if there is a delivery, then the binding housing to the supermarket is generally not important. Now we are going to Hua Hing and very sorry that there is no delivery, it is very constraining in terms of choice of area to stay.
Prices and shipping costs
The cost of shipping in Phuket for free, in Bangkok is only 60 baht. Minimum Restrictions There is no order amount. UPDATE. In the comments they wrote that sometimes all the same take on Phuket for delivery, on what basis is not clear.
Products in the online store are the same as in real life. Periodically pass the action, then the inscription about the goods will be of red color. And constantly give out coupons, they say, order at 2500 baht, Get a 250 baht discount. Coupons printed, either on receipt or come to the mail. I do not know, in real life, do such discounts often give us did not come across. The only negative is the assortment in large Tesco more will be (clothes, appliances, furniture, etc.).
Registration and address
- Here is a link to the online store (it is in English and Thai). First of all, you need to register an account. There is nothing complicated so I will not describe.
- After that you need to specify the address that you need to learn from landlord. The address includes not only the indication of the city, but also provinces, districts, subdistrictions. As a rule, the hosts are all they know this and there will be no problems with it.
- The most difficult thing is to specify the nearest Point of Interest (hotels, schools, cafes, etc.). I, for example, did not know anything from this list, so I drove the names from the list into google maps and checked how far from our home, of course, if Google knew such an object. Also you can zoom in on the map and see what Google knows nearby. AT As a result, Phuket had to ask something in our area from nock It turned out to find.
- In the Road Name / Soi, I pointed our jay. Then, already during order and before payment, it will be possible to write in the comments more detailed description of how to get there. I wrote the nearest large soy, which is on the cards. At the time of ordering in Bangkok, in the comments I gave the name of our condominium and the building number (we have them some).

Product Order and Payment
Ordering products is quite simple, everything is like everywhere else. Walk on site and throw in the basket. You can book it right away. slot (Book a slot), that is, choose from the available delivery time. AT Bangkok next day delivery, Phuket every other day. Reserved slot lasts 2 hours, then you need to book again. 2 hours is more than enough to load the right products in cart
Choice of delivery slot

At the stage of choosing the method of delivery (delivery home is Book a Delivery), there is a delivery to the store (Click & Collect). But I I see no reason to save on shipping costs and receive an order in the store.
You can pay as a card online, and cash at receiving. I choose to always and everywhere pay by card, as then You can get cashback from the purchase. In the case of Tesco, everything happens so: at the time of payment of the order 100 baht is removed, and on the day of delivery The full amount is withdrawn, that is, there are 2 charges. 100 baht about a month (depending on your bank) and then returns to your account. Not very convenient, but so they made.
100 baht comes back after a while
Delivery
Delivery takes place directly to your home. Phuket car came to our jay, got up near the house and unloaded. ВBangkok in our condominium can not go, so they came with trolley to the lobby, then we all carried it to the entrance to the staircase, where I reloaded into the grocery cart (we have about every entrance grocery carts).
Delivery from Tesco to home in Phuket
In Bangkok from the entrance I drove in a cart to the apartment
In Phuket we lived on a not very famous jay, so the courier, being in our area, he called me on the phone and tried to find out where to go. Since he did not know English, I went outside and walked watched when the car appeared, so as not to drive past. ВBangkok we lived in a well-known condominium (and with addresses here everything is much better), so I never had to explain where go. Perhaps the best first order is not to pay by card. (choose cash payment) to check how this scheme works, and whether they will take you.
Also a few hours before delivery can call from Tesco and ask you various questions, do not be alarmed. Usually call to warn you that something was not available at the time of your collection order and they either did not put it or replaced it with something seem to be. Then in the check (a few A4 papers) that the courier will give you, will be at the very beginning indicated what was not and what was replaced. By the way, English for those who call from Tesco was not on the level of my understanding (I still do not understand Taghlish by phone), so usually I just answered purely in Thai for everything “ok”.
P.S. If you have questions, ask.
