7-Eleven (09397)

The bakery shelf is what people actually talk about here. Sausage and cheese buns, croissants, muffins, sweet bread with honey on the crust, all cheap and all fine when you're hungry and moving. Reviewers rate the staff at this branch too, which matters more than you'd think at 2am when you want a toastie and a cold drink.

This one sits in Sai Thai, out toward Pak Nam rather than anywhere near Ao Nang, so it's a stop for people driving through or staying in the residential part of Mueang Krabi. The stock is standard, with drinks, snacks, ready meals, phone top-ups, basic toiletries. Nothing you can't get at the thousands of other branches, and that's the point of the place. You use it, you leave.

One fair complaint keeps coming up in reviews, and it's the plastic. A banana in a bag, a straw in a wrapper, the lot dropped into another bag. Say no to the bag, carry your own, and skip the straw. Krabi's beaches and reefs are where that stuff ends up.
