JCK Posted January 4, 2002 Report Share Posted January 4, 2002 During a recent visit to Malaysia, I entered a Kuala Lumpur 7-11 (no Sawut dee ka’s there) and bought one can of Singha, the price of which was RM5.40. I went to pay for the beer with a RM50 note but they had insufficient change. I thought about how different the 7-11’s are here. Everyone knows they exist in Thailand just for people to buy the cheapest possible item and get change of B500 and B1000 notes. I was wondering, I normally buy the crappy chewing gum for B10. If I do this every two days, that’s about B1800 a year! Do 7-11’s sell anything cheaper? What do you normally “buy” in 7-11 to get change?

Guest Posted January 4, 2002 Report Share Posted January 4, 2002 JCK -- The 7-11 on Sukhumvit, soi 13 has a five (5) baht crappy pack of chewing gum!... It's that gum that becomes rock hard after only three minutes of chewing... --UPSer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummigut Posted January 4, 2002 Report Share Posted January 4, 2002 beng beng are 5 baht as well. Can't remember if those individual tissue packs are 2 baht or 5 baht. I know there is something worth 2 baht at the 7-11 <<burp>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hippie Posted January 4, 2002 Report Share Posted January 4, 2002 What's the cheapest thing in 7-11? ...I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCK Posted January 4, 2002 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2002 I had a quick look in the Asoke 7-11 yesterday. I only found Juicy Fruit chewing gum and Mama noodles at 5 baht. But 2 baht tissues? Wow - useful too! How much are the donuts? yum What about Singapore? The 7-11's must be really crap without any chewing gum.

Chanchao Posted January 5, 2002 Report Share Posted January 5, 2002 You can just ask for change you know. :-) As for the cheapest USEFUL item, I'd say the Polo mints. Some 7-11's also have empty paper cups for 2 baht each. You have to ask though. Cheers, Chanchao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What? do you have a particular special use for them? I guess the obvious is that if you have bad breath or are a smoker then they are useful.. How much is a small bag of Lay chips..you know, the ones when upon opening the air-packed bag there are about 7 chips in there. I think they are 6 baht.
