Big C here in Thailand, depends on the size of the store however just a supermarket with a little bit of clothes, white goods and bits and pieces. Generally they are all the same format but some have a slightly large range if the footprint is larger. Fully owned by Berli Jucker Thailand. Was once owner by Casino the French super market guys.

Mina’s English is really coming along. It’s amazing how fast she has caught on. What a little sweetheart she is !

20:22 ... she's just singing in the rain. So nice !!! Thanks a lot

Just loved this video of you and Mina shopping together! You are so cute with her. What a beautiful family!

Yes.. unfortunately so Jordi 😏

The Big C store is just like a Walmart here in the states, a little bit of this and a little of that (food, clothing etc. ) but big. Harriet and I love to support local vendors when possible. To see Mina with her Papa checking out the store is so sweet. Got to love those Hawaiian Shirts. Looking good guys! 👍👍 Jim and Harriet

Sent for Mina hope you can help her find something. The store reminds me of Walmart. Love your shirt and little Mina's. Stay safe healthy and don't get to wet. Todd Neenee and little Mina.

Mina is kool kid. 😎

Judging by your 2019 memories a lot seems to have changed since we celebrated PI MAI there in 2012

Mina will be speaking very good English very quickly . The bond between dad and daughter is very strong and she loves being with you Todd . We can see it in the videos .

Todd as always fun and informative Songprang ! Get the brightest Hawaiian shirt u can find mate and Mina a huge water pistol

My son was a civil engineer on the Big C project.

She’s so cute but so polite too

Originally the French company 'Carrefour', who sold out their operation in Thailand and which now operates as BigC, headquartered in Bangkok. So I'm guessing the Laos operation is part of the Thai company.

BIG C in Thailand has pretty much everything plus seasonal, normally if they dont have something the smaller shops around in the same area will.

If you combine "Big C and Home Pro" in Thailand, you would still have to go to a third store to get a good selection of sporting goods.

It's great you're teaching the importance of seat belt with her. Safety is #1 wherever you're driving. I see from KZread a lot of people living in Laos doesn't wear seat belts, especially with the children. Education is key to educate people there to understand how important seat belts are, that it saves lives. Love how she is progressing so well!!

Another fun video, always a interesting video like always 😊

Well she was happy in the end. 😁

How come I always have a great day, if I’ve started the day watching you guys. Thanks heaps.

Big C is not an everything store. But in Thailand there is more.

Great 👍

Big Cs in Thailand vary dramatically. I’ve been in dozens of Big Cs all throughout Thailand. Some stores are massive and others are not as large. I’ve been in some that have everything from auto accessories, furniture, bakeries, pretty much everything you can think of and others, like the one you just got, with limited items. Some stores have a vast variety of things in all the categories and others that have a very small variety. Really depends on the province and even cities within the provinces where they’re located.

Ай бұрын

I'm thinking the Big W I'm used to going to has more of a selection than this Big C 👌

Hi Todd and the star of the vlog Mina. That Big C was a bit of a disappointment. Here in Khon Kaen, the main Big C is a bit bigger than yours and has a greater selection of stuff. It sells white goods, some cheap beds and furniture, toys, including a big selection of water guns, stationery, bicycles, car accessories, games, kitchen goods, far more clothes, especially Songkran shirts in all sizes at the moment, children's clothes, baby clothes, baby section, a pharmacy and a great deal of food. There is another smaller Big C which does not have quite the same range but even that one has more than the Vientiane one! Mina is a little gem, I loved it when she said not to video her when she is not wearing a seat belt! She is quite right and has more common sense than you 🤣😂 Anyway, I am glad that Neenee's foot is improving and she is wise to be cautious until it is fully healed, still praying for a complete recovery for her. Mina certainly looked the part in her Pi Mai outfit, and I am sure that she will have a whale of a time splashing and being soaked. She is such a water baby. Personally as an old fart, I stay well out of it ever since someone threw a bucket of water over me on my motorcycle, on a main road, causing me to come off and get some nasty grazes, some 2 days before the Festival started. This was an adult, not a child and a motorist who witnessed it chased after the guy and gave him a good talking to. This was about 4 years ago and since then I have avoided Songkran like the plague! It is however great for youngsters, but sadly the true meaning of the festival seems to have been lost in a haze of drunken revelry and an increasing number of sexual assaults on young women. It is also a good way of keeping cool with temperatures in the low 40s this week. Have a great Laos New Year and enjoy the fun. God bless you and the family always 😀❤🙏

Now that's the type of Big C I was envisioning.. Very disappointed in the one we got. Sorry to hear about that accident mate.. some people are just plain dumb! I have always believed the festivities should be restricted to certain areas and water bombing definitely not directed at motorists. People on bikes and in cars at the festival who are participating, fine, but not bloody people going about their daily lives. I love to get amongst the water fights and play, but they have just taken too far. Boundary's need to be set! Happy Songkran Graeme Sokdii Pi Mai
