That's very true, Pumpkin. There is almost no way here in a small town for us to fight with a big company like that. When I visitted Koh Pha Ngan last month, there are a lot of signs going on saying " We don't want Tesco Lotus". I asked one of the local people about it and he said that most people hate the idea but there's actually nothing they can do about it. He also points it out to me that it's good for the consumers but in a long term, the island will suffer as money that tourists bring to the island will go to Tesco instead of the locals that try to make a living.
