I already wrote about Thai supermarkets, but about popular 7-eleven stores (7/11) no. It is urgent to correct this omission. because in them a lot of things are sold useful for traveler, and they are found at every turn. Still we find something new and previously unnoticed— Although it would seem shop is small, what else can it be.
There are Family Mart minimarkets, which are very similar, but I personally like 7/11 more, and I’m more accustomed to they are all located inside. In general, I invite you to a small tour of this store.

general information
What you can pay
For a long time at 7-eleven you could only pay in cash. But with 2017 began to accept Visa cards. Unfortunately, so far only them Mastercard in the span, apparently could not agree or even on some reason did not fit.
When paying by credit card there is a limit, the purchase should be from 300 baht.

Enough to take to the streets and look around. If you are not in specific perdy, then somewhere on the horizon you will see him very recognizable sign. True, there are fakes with strips of such same colors, but 7-eleven will not be written there, but something similar.

What sell in 7-eleven
You will not find here normal foods such as fruits, vegetables and Other, mostly just fast food. These stores are convenient in trips to Thailand, when the cafe is far or not her time, but an urgent need to eat. Of course, fans of healthy Power will have to pass by, then they will be able to purchase for themselves only water, but the rest will find something to profit.
So, I will try to enumerate from memory what can be bought in 7-eleven. Just remember, the shops are different in size, and their the range because of this is different.

Manufactured goods
In addition to food here you can find a lot of other necessary things. useful. Most of all I like the fact that there are all sorts of shampoos and toothpaste in small packaging. This is true when you backpack, what extra kg to carry.
And so there is all household chemicals, deodorants, cosmetics, cream from the sun, mosquito repellent, diapers, pads, ointment from colds, etc. In addition, raincoats, umbrellas, tape, thread with needle, charging for cars, extension cords, batteries, magazines, stationery, spoons / forks, rubber gloves.
