Sam Walton is NOT all that and a bag of chips!

For those few of you who do not know the story behind the name "Big C," on my first visit here in 2006, I was introducing myself to the Thai associates where I work and, knowing that virtually all Thais have a nickname they go by, I mentioned that I have been called by my initials, TC, for as long as I can remember, and that many of my friends simply call me, "C." Immediately several people started laughing and pointed at me saying, "Big C!" I thought it was aimed at my size, but not so.

Thailand is one of the few countries not overrun by Wal Mart. Instead, it's major discount chain is called, "Big C."

I was going to go there today and wondered if there was a web site with their sales circular. I googled Big C + Bangkok and the first result was this blog!

I took a trip to Big C for a few items today. It is an easy fifteen minute walk from home.
