7-Eleven in Thailand
A look at two (of the many many many) 7-Eleven convenience stores in Thailand.
My brother Christopher and his family had a summer holiday in Thailand this summer. As 7-Eleven convenience stores can be found across the country they popped into quite a few. Here's a couple of snaps of two of the 7-Eleven shops in Khao Lak.
There are more than 13,000 7-Eleven shops in Thailand!
Emily has also been to some 7-Elevens this year too, and spotted this closed 'gold' 7-Eleven in Chicago, USA earlier this year.
The closest I've been to a 7-Eleven in 2025 is the 8-Twelve in Nottingham last month!
Find out more.
Visit the 7-Eleven Thailand website for more information.

Normally customers receive free or discounted Slurpees on 7/11. However this year 7-Eleven have cancelled the promotion because of the coronavirus pandemic and will instead be donating 1 million meals to the charity Feeding America.
