February 3, 201313 yr Hi, Dumb question as usual with me.... So curious, sorry. I noticed the 7-11 at begin of soi Reggae was destructed/closed. Do you know why? It is not rare to see 7s built, but destructed.....!? Thanks
February 3, 201313 yr This happens all the time everywhere around Thailand, Lease expires and someone takes over the new lease. I wouldn't be surprised that in no time another 7-11 or Family Mart will be build.
February 3, 201313 yr They built the Tesco express in the same junction. Two 7-11 and one Tesco express does not work. You have the same on ghost road now. Two 7-11 and one Tesco express in the same junction. They actually closed one 7-11 on the road between Dao market and ringroad before.
February 3, 201313 yr Perhaps too, the landlord tried to up the rent, like the one at Soi 4 in Maenam... 7-11 moved a few shops down and the old store still empty .... Four or is it five years now ? ... that back fired!
February 3, 201313 yr Don't worry. they are opening another one on Bangrak beach road. The other one 35 meters away is just too far to walk to.

February 4, 201313 yr Two years ago i met a pensioned police inspector from Bankok, or so he told me anyway. He was totally obsessed with 7-11. He told me that he was investigating them for ages and could tell exactly how many 7-11's there were on the island and where the money to finance that particular 7-11 came from. Real funny and interesting guy. He was totally sure that there was something fishy going on. He regrettably died last year from lung cancer. Not really OT but it came to mind.
February 4, 201313 yr Several years ago the official answer was given as 58 x 7/11 & 35 x FM. I have no idea what the current figures are but it surely exceeds 200 combined. Anyone driving between Bkk-Samui Hospital & the far end of Maenam or vise-versa at night will note that you can see at least one 7/11 or FM as you pass another.
