Grocery shopping is an essential part of our daily lives, with all our daily needs and wants found in supermarkets. However, during COVID-19, going out to the supermarket can be risky. Panic buying isn’t uncommon in Thailand too, especially after the announcement of curfews and lockdowns across the country.
However, we can do all our grocery shopping right from our phones these days. Here are 8 supermarket shopping apps that will deliver your straight groceries to your homes.
1.WeFresh
