7-Eleven
Eating out three meals a day adds up fast, and this is the cheap way round it. A small branch on Phuket Road in Talat Yai, open 24 hours, stocked with the usual Thai convenience-store spread: hot food counter, sandwiches and burgers, packaged lunch boxes including bulgogi, kimchi on the shelves, and drinks of every description. Reviewers rate the snack selection highly, which is fair enough, though one person went out of their way to complain about the onigiri. Make of that what you will.
It's compact, so don't plan a proper grocery shop here. Skincare and some other lines do sell out, and there's no guarantee the thing you want will be sitting there. Drinks and snacks, though, are always going. The upside of the small footprint is that it rarely feels crowded, which counts for a lot at eleven at night when you want a cold drink and nothing more complicated than that.

I'm staying at the Courtyard Phuket Town Hotel. Since the Robinsons shopping mall I used to frequent closed, I found a 7-Eleven instead. It's a true Thai experience, stocked with everything you need. I especially like the fact that I can easily find delicious and popular Thai snacks. I also really appreciated the kimchi selection. It's also a great place to grab quick snacks like sandwiches and burgers. They also have a bulgogi lunch box, so enjoy! The best part is that it's open 24 hours. Even if you arrive late in Phuket, Thailand, 7-Eleven is the only place you need to go. They also give you chips when you pay, which are the same as cash. In Thailand, the price difference between convenience stores and discount stores is relatively small. Therefore, I think they're giving chips to attract regular customers and increase sales. Of course, you can use your card, but refunds are not easy in Thailand. Please keep this in mind and avoid any potential disputes. And in Thailand, the first two weeks of September are a time of heavy rain, so much so that even locals go on vacation abroad. Please keep this in mind when traveling. Following is love 💕 💗 ❤️ 💖
A compact 7-11. Some skincare products are sold out. It has a great selection of snacks and drinks.

Tips for Visiting Markets & Shopping
Haggle at Markets, Not Malls
Prices at market stalls are negotiable — start at 50–60% of the asking price and meet in the middle. Fixed-price shops and malls don't haggle. Smile and keep it friendly; aggressive bargaining is considered rude.
Arrive Early or Late
Vendors believe the first sale of the day is lucky — you'll often get a better deal if you arrive right when the market opens. Late in the evening, sellers may also discount to avoid packing unsold goods.
Be Cautious with Tailors
Bangkok has excellent tailors, but also many tourist traps. Avoid anyone offering suspiciously cheap suits or who approaches you on the street. Ask your hotel for recommendations, read reviews, and always get two fittings.
