About
A no-fuss Big C Mini that does exactly what you need it to: cold drinks, quick snacks, and last‑minute travel bits without the Khao San markup. It’s on Krung Kasem Road in Bang Khun Phrom — about a 15‑minute walk north of Khao San — handy if you’re staying near Thewet or hopping the river boat.
Shelves are stacked with bottled water, Thai iced coffees, cup noodles, microwaveable rice dishes, chips, cookies, and a solid beer and mixer selection for pre‑game supplies. You’ll also find toiletries, sunscreen, insect repellent, charging cables, and other small lifesavers that tend to go missing mid‑trip. Prices are supermarket‑level and turnover is quick, so chilled drinks are actually cold.
Pop in during the day to stock up before temple‑hopping, or swing by in the evening on your way back from Phra Athit or Samsen. It’s simple, convenient, and reliably cheaper than grabbing the same items at a bar on Khao San. Address: 164–172 Krung Kasem Rd, Bang Khun Phrom, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok 10200.
