Is 7/11 considered a legitimate tourist attraction yet?

[Mormolin]

I've spent more time there than at the Grand Palace !

and so it seems do most tourists that come to Bangkok.

Everyone shops at 7, it’s an attraction for all to eventually visit and see the great wonders of the shopping experience

I do love the ring tone their door makes when it opens and closes, some times I go in and out just to listen to it.????

Sitting on the front step with a Chang & the soi dog - great stuff.????????

I wouldn't mind one of those cardboard cutouts of Lisa which they have outside currently!

 

Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind the real thing, especially in those boots!

7-11 does provide entertainment on the odd occasion,  I seen a boxing match at the counter one day with the smaller guy ran behind the counter and the other guy jumped over .... blood splatter from his nose,  and sometimes a dog will be in the shop rolling around on the floor to rid his fleas I guess and get cool.

I made the mistake of going into this 7-11 in Pattaya a few weeks ago and it was full of a tour bus of Chinese. I left and went to a different 7-11.

 

I have also seen youtubers do videos on this 7-11.

What's good about 7/11? to me it is just a store where you can buy junk food.

That is the largest 7-11 in the world. It does get a lot of attention. Another strange fact, it's the only 7-11 I've every seen here that does not sell cigarettes.

There are numerous 7/11's that don't sell cigarettes , in hospitals and airports for example

They have started giving stamps again to collect, then you can get some crap with brown on it, or use them for discount

Pretty much every 7 in Bangkok sells at least bananas, often also other fruit, sometimes vegetables. 

In Bangkok,  they also sell unsweetened green tea (never seen it upcountry). Some also have onigiri and sushi, not only the usual junk food. Also frozen fish.

Well, I do cook myself, so I don't buy much at 7-11 maybe a sandwich on a long trip.

7/11 is mostly processed foods and ready made foods. Many 7/11 also sells fruits. Some 7/11 also have attached restaurants where they sell limited freshly made foods/soups. Prices are similar to street vendor prices that our beloved Vblogers rave so much about finding a meal for a dollar as if they found a gold deposits. Also Vloggers in Japan rave about 7/11 foods in Japan just like Thailand Vloggers rave about cheap street foods in Thailand.

Vegans are odd. Almond milk is 98% water.
