Muslim Friendly Shopping in Thong Sala

• Lim Ping Pong - An excellent small organic and Western convenience store. (Almost certainly misspelled its name, but it's close to how it's said). If you approach from the south (Ban Tai) it's on the right-hand side near the post office. It's a very modern looking building and is in the back of a store which mostly sells glass and home ware. It's tricky to spot the first time so walk around and ask people. All the local residents know where it is.

• Lotus - Decent supermarket with a lot of Halal groceries.
