- In this episode we take a look at what eating at 7 Eleven would be like as an option to eating local food. We eat breakfast lunch and dinner at 7 Eleven and enjoy the meals at strategic locations with nice sea views. Almost all 7 Elevens would be considered similar in regards to their respective offerings so whether you are in Bangkok, Chiang Mai or Pattaya, the result should be similar. Come along and see what choices are available and what it will cost us to eat three meals at the 7 Eleven.
#Pattaya #CheapFood #7Eleven
I only made one mistake when i first was in Jomtien Beach Thailand i got food from the 7 eleven.. my friend was outside eating chicken on a stick and wow one bite and that was the last time i ate at 7 eleven food and that was 16 years ago and too many trips to Thailand to mention.. i will take all types of Thai food over pre made junk food.. why would anyone spend money on this type of food when you are in a country that really offers food for every taste bud from bbq chicken to noodle dishes and great woked classic Thai dishes...eat fruit,, so many unique fruits you can have great smoothies everywhere in Thailand... L.A Rob
7-11 is for late night snacks only. Many things are actually quite yummy and cheap there, but can't beat the awesome Thai street food if you know what you're looking for.
The whole idea of this video was for what people could buy at a 7-11 that wasn't Thai food. Pay attention.
Molon Labe there’s plenty of good food in Thailand that would be considered foreign food. Served on the street or served in modest restaurants. The best food I eat in Thailand is grilled chicken with sticky rice, also those grilled pork skewers are delicious only 10 baht each. 20 Thailand baht would get you an entire bunch of bananas Why pay 9 Bhat for one? Anybody with the guts to travel all the way to Thailand should have enough guts to eat some street food or eat in a modest Thai restaurant. But kudos For this guy doing the video to show them that there’s some food not to be afraid of. But it’s just junk in 7-Eleven do you know
You ask the question but I will ask you another question, if it is so bad how come the Thai population frequent 7/11 so often? when do you ever see one with no customers the bing bong every few seconds tell you they have a good formulae, but I must admit not for me unless no other option.
@@grahamjohnson4702 Hi Graham yes there are many Thais that do buy items in the 7/11 and most are very young, its convenient but does not compare to the foods available on the streets that are of a different level of quality and flavor and can be found at better pricing and are open late in many areas of Bangkok and Pattaya// L.A Rob
7 11s usually and most often in my 15 trips have very nice staff. The girls are friendly. They often helped me top up my phone with minutes. If I need a frozen chicken burger microwaved, they usually will do that, put the toppings on I want, etc. depending on the size and layout of the store. that cool blast of cold air and the little dinging sound when the sliding door opens, constantly reminds me I am in Pattaya and I miss it dearly.
The ham and cheese toastie is great at under 30 baht and the chicken burgers are not too bad also at around 40-45 baht.
I usually only eat Thai food when in Thailand but one thing I'll always have from 7/11 is the toasted ham and cheese sandwiches. Those things are a great hangover cure.
Stephen Palmer they really are lol
Yeah, the ham and cheese toastie sandwich hits the spot for late night. I would always grab a couple of the egg and rice microwave trays after a long night of debauchery...nothing beats my go to chicken and rice spot that comes with a free soup for 40 baht(spicy or non spicy) kitty corner from the subway on Buakhao😀
I've eaten the ham and cheese sandwiches there before they are pretty good
If you are travelling and you are worried about unsafe food, just find somewhere that is packed with locals. The people living there aren't going to go to a restaurant that will make them sick. This goes for everywhere, not just Thailand.
The hot ham and cheese or sausage and cheese are great for breakfast with a capuchino. It's my go to breakfast. I've tried eating breakfast out but nothing impresses me. Rubbery bacon... by lunch I'll be eating pad thai noodles and shrimp and at night I hit the different night food markets.
Lucas, I bet your taste buds and bowels hated you for a few days after that exercise. Very brave of you.
If you have to get up stupid early do a visa run and the carts haven't started up, then you'll need a coffee (from 7/11) and their raisin bread buns aren't bad. The only other thing I'd get from there again is the ham & cheese toastie but only if 7/11 is the only option because pretty much any cart food is a better option... except maybe fried bugs 555
The Ham and cheese toasted sandwich 🥪 are good 😌
Great Video.. far more insightful than Nasty, Devoid Shannon !!
Yep you definitely missed out when you passed on the yogurt with the musele and dried fruit on top. Me and my Mrs eat them for breakfast every day when I'm in Pattaya. (cheaper if you buy in packs from big c) and it's the cheese and ham toastie you need. As for the ready meals I prefer the pork or chicken and bazel with rice and a fried egg. Not as good as the freshly cooked street food but still has plenty of flavor it fills a hole. I could tell from the look on your face that the soi dogs would be eating a burger tonight ! 555
of course the cup of noodle soup is OK late at night now and then. So much better to buy te street vendor real soup, but at 2 am and going back to the hotel to wind down, the 1 buck for the soup hits the spot. Sometimes you are on a budget and skipping big expenses for one day can help your average payout
more protein needed tinned fish? or boiled eggs? to have with noodle dishes
Why don't you have the small frozen dinners from the fridge ?
I love those, when buying from 7/11.
It's insane coming from Europe and not eating Thai food, wich I Iove.
But of course, that's my opinion.
hi mate, enjoyable vblog, well done, the strawberry yogurt in there is ok ...
Thanks Phil, your cameo in the last vid turned out pretty good. Cheers m8
@@Rides4Kickz hi mate , big thank you for including it. yes it was quite good ! the shout out or my channel was great, thank you /
the asian food would be my first choice, but on the street, a thai stylevrestaurant, ut 7-11 food at a last resort
No snickers bar?
Not for me, never eat this and never will. The banana was oké. 🍌🍌 Vlog gives you a good view of things to do and not to do. 👍
Hey you can’t go wrong if you on a budget with 7 eleven.
Why is the gym a different price for Thais? How can that be legal?
This is a municipal facility, I would kind of compare it to State Universities in the US charging more for foreign students than residents. The resident's tax money goes to fund things like this, visitors pay more to make up the difference.
Rides 4 Kickz ok thank you for clearing that up. It seemed totally unfair and racist but now you’ve explained it - I can kind of see how it maybe isn’t.
Curious about how you would have done buying western chow at one of the mall food courts. Thanks for taking one for the team though - I think I’d rather dumpster dive than eat that 7-11 stuff.
I like the Swiss cheese chips that they have in Thailand but not USA. Apparently no hotdogs on the grill like they have in USA. Face it a lot of people eat at 711 when they aren’t sober.
Hey which beach is this in the beginning?
Bangsaen Beach
Reply even before I finish watching the full video !!
I’m drawing my conclusion
If any of 7/11 food was free
I still wouldn’t eat it
Looks disgusting 🤮
I think kinda silly for people to go to Thailand and eat processed crappy food..versus fresh Thai food.. If worried about getting stomach virus, then make sure you eat hot cooked food and bottled water.. Sheesh be like going to Italy and eating ramen.
toasted ham and cheese for 25 B and they heat it up for you
For breakfast, every day (before I go out for the evening 1700ish); I go down to 2nd Rd Pattaya find the girl w/ the fruit cart. Get Watermelon, Cantaloupe & Pineapple (50 Baht - $150 USD) and a "Cheese toastie" (the one in the white wrapper 28 Baht - $.70 USD) put it all in the fridge and in the morning have an awesome (super fresh) breakfast for less than $2.50 USD ! You picked the "wrong" cheese toastie w/ the "croissant". I've never tried the afternoon or evening food from 7-11. Great video for those intimidated by Thai food (they don't know what they are missing).
I can confirm the cheese and sausage toasted sandwich is awesome, I ate too many probably. Some of the 7/11 have seating area inside the store. Try the snack jacks! 😋👍
7-11 boiled eggs are good
You can get corn flakes in 7/11 and milk, straight from the fridge in room no need to go out searching and then walk it off for fresh air. I just love the way that people who want others to think they are so superior run down 7/11, McDonalds, Burger King and KFC, yet those companies sell more than enough to make them worldwide Why the need to keep coming on vlogs to let everybody know they only eat at the Ritz.
Graham Johnson maybe I don’t want cornflakes...lighten up
@@thaidyesamurai6980 😂
ThaiDye Samurai 😂😂😂😂
@@thaidyesamurai6980 I wasn't talking to you, you superior Trans World Airlines Tea.
Amazing they wrap the bananas! No shortage of plastic. 😂
Yeah right, I was thinking the same thing. 😂
@@Rides4Kickz Definitely no shortage of plastic, you buy pork on a stick and they put it in plastic and then they put that into a plastic bag with a handle for you to carry away.
Junk food will never fill you you are in the best country for food 🥘 handy food is good to fill a gapi am lucky I can eat almost every thing it was very easy for me you have to try it good video
There's a surprisingly decent carbonara for not much baht at 7/11. Good vid as always! See you soon.
I really like your laid back presenting style. You're American and you don't SHOUT or talk too fast. Great videos, thanks.
lolz.
You definitely took one for the team today.
I'm no 7 noob!
Tuna mayo sandwich, pad Krakow and rice, bottle of orange juice - a lovely brunch Cheap Charlie tide-me-over style!
When I visit Thailand, I go full native. Nothing but Thai food for me.
Right on !
I've done this before for over a month... but... 3am woke up and just needed farrang food so drove 8km for a block of cheese, loaf of bread and Heinz tomato sauce!
@@ppppugh7892 yup, gotta get your fix every once in a while. No crime there.
The western food I eat at 7 is the ham and cheese Toasties.. otherwise I usually just buy alcohol and ice..👍
I realize you "took one for the team" so to speak so we could see what was offered at 7 eleven but that burger looked like something the would be stuffed in an MRE (military meal ready to eat). No thanks. I'd go back to the food court from your earlier videos and enjoy some pad Thai
Crab fried rice $1.20 is excellent
A few 7eleven refused to take 1000bhat notes as everyone in the store were buy cheap items to break up the bill. I'm sure they were running out of change
Your gmail -email address dosn't work. So shortly: can you make a video about beer prices between 7-11 and markets? How much it would cost to get sh**t load of Shinga to LK Metro area from local 7-11 or big market?
Thanks for your video great review , I always eat out and about town there is so much choice in Pattaya but
I always keep a couple of 7/11 fresh sandwiches in my hotel fridge ,if you stick to the basic sandwiches
you cant go wrong , use by date usually about 3 days
Oh 7.11 for beer take away, but the food is desperation. Brave of you eating it
the 7-11 in Japan are the best. their egg salad sandwich is awesome.
I always go for the pack of two hard-boiled eggs. They're about 15 or 16 baht. Just make sure you don't accidentally grab the soft- boiled ones unless you have a suitable place to eat them.
Snowflakes with tender tummies should not go to Thailand.
Many burger options in the 7-11 are western style. They have western cereals too like cornflakes./ rice Krispies etc. All the quick snacks are replaced every day.
so they are fresh. I buy milk and water at the 7-11's and the occasional beer.
But I Love Thai food.
PREPFORIT yup, milk is another thing I buy there, same price as the big stores, no convenience store penalty like back home. 👍
I am told the ham cheese toasties are good along with the foot long sausages but I’ve never tasted them ... good info though . Bang Saray looks a nice chilled out place
I come to thailand for a month and don't eat any thai food,only western food and the only food i get from 7/11 is the ham and cheese toasties,if i dont get breakfast at my accommodation. , ocasionally i use kfc/pizza company/mc donalds/but the big shopping malls usually have a good choice of restaurants,i will look for places that have a western section in the menu also,ive been doing it for the last 10 years and it works for me,i eat and good in thailand and tend to eat junk food in the uk, ive tried rice and noodles but i just find them tasteless.
I have an allergy to chicken. You should try to eat food without chicken there. Even if it has chicken broth in it it can mess me up. I have to read the labels here in the USA when I buy new items at the grocery store. I was wondering how hard it would be there for me? Try doing a video on this.
Yeah, that may be hard to mitigate be checking ingredients on labels. They do not have the same regulations and guidance as say the FDA puts forth in the US. I would probably stick to the western style restaurants and order simple dishes like pork or beef steaks and/or seafood maybe. There could be some sort of chicken or chicken byproducts in many of the Thai dishes.
@@Rides4Kickz Yea that's what I was thinking. I had some issues in the Philippines.
And you lived to talk about it.
A new subscriber, what's your average monthly thai baht, you rent room, thanks.
6,500
Great video. I don't know about eating at 7/11, but I think there are places that westerners can get there get their at home food fix, like McDonald's, Pizza, KFC, coffee Club. They're not cheap.
good presentation per usual, but wow what a bad idea tempting farangs with the mouth watering gourmet meal,you should know better after shedding all those kgs,
(but well done) probably already done hungry hippo, good breakfast 99 bhat will sea you through till dinner, and Seaside restaurant which used to be an institution in pattaya, have a good selection of farang food. fish and chips on a Friday or anyday big john dory fish🤗 plenty of real chips with salad and peas, 150 bhat good value 👌.
keep up the good work 👍.
P.S. much better palaces to stay on koh larn for the same you paid with bike included, also get you lady to negotiate with bike shop, and you'll get a deal for 150 bhat(but not weekend's)
Thai street food vs 7-11. No contest. Street food every time. I spend most winters in Chiang Mai and area. I've never been tempted by 7-11's food, especially when there's a couple of street food vendors within 4 metres of my local 7-11.
The ice cream machines and slurpy machines are always broken, everywhere even in the US. It's about cleaning - strict parameters apply, hence they're always out of order. Manufacturer (1) controls it & it's a health thing, also a bit of a scam on owners.
One thing I've found in Thailand and nowhere else are the ready made boiled and peeled eggs. Quite good for a quick snack. Slightly processed tasting (like the inside of a scotch egg if you know what I mean) but does the job. Have also found some good prepared Caesar Salads in 7:11 before now.
Love your channel man.I live in the South .Meaung Prachuap Khiri Khan town.Honestly not a fan of Pattays,but your food tours are making me think of another visit..obviously after the craziness has dissipated a little.
The frozen Burger Kung or Shrimp burgers are yummy. They microwave them up, and the good 7 11s have toppings and dressings. Get a bag of potato chips and a coke. A fine walking around snack. As for getting sick, in my 15 trips only once did I get a bit of a tummy bug. Took a few days to get rid of. I guess just a mild case of diarrhea. I get a lot of the smoothie drinks that are usually made with ice from the city tap water at restaurants. Same for ice in my coke at dinner. So be wary of that if you are sensitive.
You choosed lunch with your belly eyes..... 55555 your brain just stopped.
Best sellers for falang is triangle ham and cheese toast...the bacon hamburger (that actually taste good) and club sandwiches.
I didn't even eat from 7/11 when I lived in the States, and there's a reason why they all closed down in the UK.. How people can't eat Thai food is beyond me, suck it up fellas :)
the problem with the burgers and the croissant are, they got microwaved so no way they are crunchy, so the croissant toast, is a better option than the croissant .. my favorite 7/11 food is fried rice with vegetarian protein, in the freezer, about 29baht in Bangkok, very delicious :)
i never eat at McDonalds but the three days i was in Bangkok i ate in there every day supplemented by bags of potato chips and snickers from the petrol station across the road from my hotel.
we love the ham/cheese sandwich (hot) 25 bath...more tan enough for breakfast. Also good koffie there (Latte ). Fresh fruits on market or on the road..1kg mango 25 bath..
If you're in Thailand as a foreigner, you may as well get used to the idea of eating the local Thai food. Build up your tolerance to eating the spicy foods...it's good for you and there's plenty of variety. The best you can do is try to eat at a place that seems clean and avoid eating raw seafood or meat that's not cooked thoroughly. Eating that processed junk food at a 7-11 isn't healthy.
I live on Koh Samui for 15 years. On 7-11 I only buy milk,youghurt and sometimes soft drinks and snacks. Never food! Thanks for so many splendid vlogs from the Pattaya aereas!
I gotta have beef patties, had a pork patty once and never again. Those toasties at 7/11 are the best. They come out hot & crunchy
Ive gotta say I have never eaten from a 711, and it is not appealing whatsoever.
But stay away from chips and cookies. If you want a salty & sweet snack choose a healthier option like nuts and fruit.
God man! havent you found it yet? behind the counter they have ham-cheese/Sausage sandwiches you can buy and they put them in a toaster. these are made fresh, thats why they have them behind the counter! /Protip :-D
The 7-11 ham n cheese toastie is pure Michelin star world class and at least 5 a week should be consumed during any visit to Thailand along with 10 gallons of Thai ice milk tea
I just go to the 7 -11 to get a morning tiger beer. But still the 7 - 11's everywhere come in handy. Love Thailand
I got a pork sandwich at a Lawson's in one of the Bangkok metro station shopping areas and it was pathetic......someone should go to jail for putting a picture on the packaging and then for what I instead received.
Ive watched dozens of your videos but I guess I've missed it. You've never mentioned what type of visa you're on that allows you to stay there long term?
Last place i would go for dinner at irradiated sandwiches
Always the fun gamble buying chips in Asia not knowing what they actually taste like
I understand the purpose of the video but you could probably get your average daily meal cost down if you had a kitchen in your apartment.
You can find a lot of food in the open buffet for most of the Malls (Central Festival has a giant open buffet ). Baked sweet potato, pasta, beef, chicken, rice, steamed vegetable, etc... and not so much expensive. I wouldn't prefer to eat at 7 eleven. maybe some chips and beer Ok. I think street food is much better than 7eleven. I`ll be there in February 😎.
Have a nice trip 👍🍺
Thank you for reminding me not to eat 7-Eleven quick foods, where is the Thai food please!
That is so cheap and it would do u until lunch 🥗 it would cost me about 3pounds in Ireland 🇮🇪 without the ☀️ abnd no heat
Only time I eat from 7-11 is when it's a mid beer bar tour stop. And it has to be the ham n cheese toastie. Othersize its just drinks from there
Street food vendors can be as cheap with fresh greens and veg. Meat and rice. Alot better tasting and better for you I think.
What about fishing off the shore... Do I need a fishing permit... N what about starting a business...
“ It’s not a croissant. I think if you gave that to a Frenchman he’d spit on your face.” 555
Fried rice boxes are perfect, toasties sandwiches are great, other than that, Thai food vendors all the way 👍😁
If only the banana had some kind of natural “bag” o well just stick it in a plastic bag 555
i think its insulting calling people cheap charlie ? especially comming from them scrubbers.
For a try, yes, why not, even the second try did not kill me, neither did the soup I made myself. It is eatable
love the content on your channel KEEP up the great work
Thank You 🙏
Ham and cheese toasties are always a good way to go, 7/11 also have some nice pastry and bun options
To remain fit as you are today , avoid the cookies. They make you hungry quicker.
i know its hella cheap to eat out there, but do you cook at home? just looking out for your health bro.
Some of your Choices were a bit dodgy 🤔⁉️⁉️👎🏼
Hello Pattaya channel give cat food to her GF, he is the cheap Charlie king
The fish burger is pretty tasty. They don't stock all the time.
was afraid to try street food, but when i did i only ate at 7-12 once a week.
A well presented DocuVlog - an educational, informative and entertaining Vlog. This is what any person wishing to visit Pattaya need to view to get the basics right then proceed to other vloggers to see the stunning beauts that make this a magical place.
I discovered that yogurt with the stuff on top late one night and it was the best.
Is the water clean....nobody swimming ?
Thank you for the video, Thumbs Up 👍.
One thing i did like was your top ...J/D,,,,
