The Starbucks of Bangkok

July 16th, 2008


7-Eleven near Bangkok’s Memorial Bridge

Bangkok, Thailand - 7-Elevens are on every block of this city.  It’s the Starbucks of Bangkok, except instead of overpriced coffee they have sim cards, sour milky drinks and, yes, those hot dogs cooked on rotating metal rods for mysterious lengths of time.  It’s not quite the convenience store of my Massachusetts youth, but I can do without the Slurpees as long as they refill my cell phone minutes.
