From Pattaya News

Pattaya’s Beach Road welcomed a brand spanking new addition to its landscape today, April 11, 2025, with the grand opening of a brand-new, full-size Tops supermarket at the front of Royal Garden Plaza. Operating 24 hours a day, this modern grocery store promises great convenience for residents, tourists, and late-night shoppers in one of the city’s busiest areas.

I have been shopping at several different TOPS for years. In the last few years I have noticed that this supermarket chain has got worse at its stock taking and refilling items that are sold out. I accepted that the pandemic must have caused major supply disruptions. But the situation has been normal for well over a year. Not replenishing stock for a few days or even weeks I can understand. But sometimes certain items disappear for six months before returning to the shelves. At one of its main stores in Central Chidlom I asked a supervisor why a certain item had been absent from the shelves for months. After checking she replied the supermarket would no longer stock it. A couple of months later, it was back! Another item of frozen food has totally disappeared and been replaced by a different brand which costs 35% more!

I have found Tops to be great and their delivery service is reliable.
