14 Best Things To Buy At The New Thai Supermarket, Including Coffee Beer And More

Best things to buy at the new Thai Supermarket It’s almost time for the new Thai Supermarket to reopen at Aperia Mall, since their closure at Golden Mile Complex earlier this year. They’ve downsized from 10,000 square feet to a smaller 6,000 square-foot space, but it’s spanking new, and no longer closed—which IMO is what counts the most.
