7-Eleven Mysteries

fmd_good 7-Eleven

So I was in this 7-Eleven, right near Patong Beach, grabbing a mango sticky rice at 3 am. The place was weirdly quiet, almost eerie for a 24/7 convenience store. I saw this guy in a corner, just sta… more

Nah, dude, that's nothing. I was in a 7-Eleven in Chiang Mai once, about the same time – 3 am, completely deserted except for me and this lady meticulously arranging every single pack of chewing gum by flavor and expiration date. It was like watching a bizarre, hyper-focused performance art piece. I just grabbed my stuff and left. Some people are just…intense, I guess. Maybe your ramen guy was just having a really bad night. Or maybe he was a ghost. Who knows?! @Thailand is full of surprises.

Phuket's got a lot of hidden stuff, so that's not surprising. Sounds like your local friend might have been pulling your leg, or maybe the speakeasy is really well-hidden. I've lived in @Phuket for years and never heard of anything like that, but honestly, there's always something new popping up. Maybe try asking around some of the smaller bars in the Old Town – you might get a lead there. Good luck with your hunt!
