7-ELEVEN IS BETTER IN THAILAND (and our plans)

[@RTXE-74]

As a Thais, I should warn u about Chiangmai both of you can go travel everywhere in Chiangmai but not near Myanmar. 1-2 months ago Myanmar military shot the bomb into Thailand and 1-2 weeks ago Myanmar military dropped the bomb nearly Thailand and some population of Myanmar migrated to refugee camps and some fled to seek permanent residence. Enjoy your last trip! Thank you for coming to Thailand and making a lot of cool videos it's really useful for me I have so much learned English and sentences from both of you while I'm studying abroad in Australia. Thailand isn't the best country in the world but I'm sure when you want somewhere that feels like the home we are always standing by to welcome you. ;) 🇹🇭

[@OnePackWanderers]

We had no idea! Thanks a lot for the information. We'll definitely keep that in mind the further north we go. We've really fallen in love with Thailand these past few months, you have a wonderful country 🙂 Also, side note: your English is spectacular!

For the Korean Noodles it's actually a dry version, which means you boil the noodles, drain out the water, and then mix in the other stuff later As for the Ham Cheese Toasties, at 7-Eleven they have a toaster for it (like a George Foreman grill I think you guys call it), but I didn't see if you put it in the microwave or not, if you did, that's okay but not the best way to cook it. It's one of the best menu items in 7-Eleven regarded by everybody who comes here to Thailand

[@OnePackWanderers]

We knew we messed up the noodles 😂😅 You're right that the toasties are a lot better at 7-11 when they heat them up. We used it a microwave and it wasn't quite as good. Those little grill things that have are so cool!

[@dakalasujan509]

The energy drink M150 in Thailand they are called M100 ( M roi ) However, the energy drink called Red bull is a Thai brand (made in Thailand) before go worldwide by an Austrian company. THe drink you thought was a ginger ,it was actually The Panax (ginseng) with Lingzhi .The peanut called broad bean or Fava bean..

[@kamolhengkiatisak1527]

There were M 100 and M 150 depending on the quantity (100cc vs 150cc). For the last 20 years, they no longer produce M 100 anymore. Historically, the energy drink came from Japan and the original brand was Lipo Vitan D, Thai people call Lipo in short. Later a Thai Pharma company introduced Kathing Daeng (literally Red Bull) for the local market at cheaper price of 10 baht around 50 years ago with heavy TV advertising, hinting that it gives energy especially lasting you a long time in love war. So Red Bull dominated Thai market for over 2 decades. An Austrian salesman came to Thailand about 30+ years ago and stumbled upon Red Bull and liked the favour and energy boost and convinced the Thai brand owner to co-invest with him internationally with him owning 51% while the brand owner owning 49%, effectively giving the Austrian management control. He made it popular worldwide. The Thai market is still under the Thai owner's jurisdiction while internationally, the Red Bull takes over. However, 20+ years ago M150 overtook Kathing Daeng in the Thai market to be No.1 ever since. The ubiquitous 150cc bottle energy drink still sells for 10 baht for the last 50 years

[@OnePackWanderers]

Very informative both of you, thank you so much for taking the time to write these out 🙏🏼

[@lucca_lee]

The coffee club is an Australia chain but being took over by a Thai company now they own majority of the share, The coffee club got over 400 outlets in 10 countries. BTW redbull is originated in Thailand and Thai company still hold the share the international red-bull but Thai red-bull in Thailand is different you guys should have try cause it still 100% own by Thai company so it tastes like what Thai people like to drink.

[@OnePackWanderers]

We knew Red Bull had origins in Thailand (though it seems an Austria company is responsible for developing the international brand). We'll definitely try the Thai version! In the US we don't really drink it because it's usually 100 baht or more.

[@samsularefin7682]

My God ! This just brought back so many memories for me and my wife, as we were watching the video. The Coffee Club of Century Plaza was our breakfast place almost every day, when we stayed at On Nut for three weeks in December 2019. It's quite impossible to pass a single day in Bangkok without walking in at any of the zillion 7-11s. It's like even if you don't need anything, you walk in to make yourself buy something 😂😂. Thanks to you guys for showing us the titbits of BKK, as honestly can't wait to go back to that amazing city. Our love and best wishes to Tia, and we hope that she gets well soon. If you guys ever plan to visit Bangladesh, do let us know. Would be lovely to meet you guys. Take care you two !! Have a great trip ahead.

[@OnePackWanderers]

You are so right about the 7-11s 😂 They are just so easy to walk into and sort of 'explore' all the neat little things (and enjoy the air conditioning on a hot day) Hopefully Thailand reopens soon, so you two can come back to BKK! It really is one of our favorite cities We'd love to visit Bangladesh, and certainly will before this trip is over 🙂

We love 7/11 in Thailand, just a lot of foods & snacks to choose from. Wat Ratchaburana is a must-see temple inside Ayutthaya Historical Park Complex. The other beautiful temples outside Ayutthaya Historical Park are ; 1. Wat Chaiwatthanaram ( really beautiful at the sunset) 2. Wat Phutthaisawan 3. Wat Phanan Choeng ( best to be there before 9am) If you are interested in the museum & history of the Ayutthaya Period, Chao Sam Phraya National Museum is a must-see museum. Do not forget the sunscreen & umbrella, it’s really hot during the daytime!!

Hi Both, First of all, as a subscriber, can I say how much I enjoy your videos. My wife and I have been holidaying in SEAsia for nearly 30 years, so it’s great to see you guys enjoying it so much. Regarding your request about Ayutthaya, the one thing I would say is to rent push bikes. All the temples are stunning but are widespread, and the bikes are great fun. On the subject of Tia’s back, go and get a Thai massage. They’ll fix it instantly if you tell them what’s wrong. We get them everyday when we’re there. Keep filming and sharing the videos. Thanks Dave

Thank you for the tips! A bicycle seems like the perfect way to explore a place like that 😊 Out of curiosity, what is your and your wife's favorite spot in SEA?

[@davedodd9868]

@@OnePackWanderers Hi, A single favourite place is difficult, but I’d probably choose Chiang Mai. So much to do there. We enjoy cycling and walking (like you do), and there are some great places to walk or ride to. The Monks trail that takes you to the temple have way up to Doi Suthep is beautiful, as is the bike ride out to the reservoir east of the town. Singapore is beautiful as well, though a bit more expensive. My favourite single day was probably visiting Angkor Wat in Cambodia. You’re very lucky being there now with so few tourists, we are due to go back in late October this year, and are visiting Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. Can’t wait.

Roti-Saimai is a cotton candy rolled by a soft piece of flour. Try it, if you have a chance. 😆😆

He is right. Go for Roti Sai mai, but look out for the one they are cooking fresh. Coz the freshly made Roti is softer.

Probably been mentioned elsewhere, but the “friendly” chef on the box is the famous american/Korean chef David Chang from mamafuku. Also has quite a few of his own Netflix series.

[@ittetsu_otokogi]

I think the ramen might be the dried type one? I think you're supposed to boil the noodles first then mix it with the sauce (with no water), that way it will be hot. But if you wanted to try the real deal hot korean noodles, the "Buldak Bokkeum Myun" is the most famous one. The snack you've eaten is a broad bean. Most people like to eat along with beer. The "ginger" drink is actually ginseng drink. It is kinda both medicine and drink since people drink it mostly for health more than taste? And for the sandwich, 7-eleven has a griller that can grill it for you, that way you can give the justice for 7-eleven sandwich lol Hope these can help you get more information for what you guys have eaten!

Hi guys, I'm not sure if Cambodia will open the border for travel during this period. But actually you can see the beauty of Khmer art in Thailand as well in the Northeast of Thailand. . There are many stone castles, including Prasat Phanom Rung and Prasat Muang Tam in Buriram, Prasat Hin Phimai at Korat. You can also see natural wonders such as the Naka and Nakee cave, which you have to climb to see rocks that look like giant snakes. including the vast Khong River that separates Thailand, Laos and Burma.

There are many things to see in each province both quite ancient nature A large forest from the time of the dinosaurs until the ancient city of Khmer culture. . But there is a limitation that the places are very far from each other. You must have a car to drive. Very few youtubers make travel clips in this part of Thailand.

Just so you know you said "Redbull of Thailand" but "Redbull is from Thailand". And it's called Krating Daeng (which translates to Red Bull). It doesn't taste like western Red Bull though. They have altered the taste for western tastebuds.

Tia, get yourself a Thai massage it will really help. I am sure you will have a lot of fun up north. Touring around on a scooter is the perfect way to do it. My only concern is safety.

[@johnprattley945]

Sorry to hear that your back is playing up Tia. 7-Elevens are even better in Japan. It’s great to hear that you will be exploring Cambodia. May I suggest that you also add Laos to your travels. It so much more laid back than Thailand. Luang Prabang is a most see, as it is the most delightful town/city in SE Asia. Traditionally the way to get to it from Northern Thailand was to take a boat down the Mekong. However at the moment tourists can only enter the country via the Thai Lao Friendship Bridge or Vientiane’s International airport. It is only two hours from Vientiane to Luang Prabang by the new high speed train, compared with 9 or so hours by bus. There are no direct flights from Chiang Mai to Vientiane, so you have to go via Bangkok. A cheaper option is a flight from Chiang Mai to Udon Thani. From there take a transfer to the border. Another option could be take a bus and break the journey to see the famous ruins at Sukhothai, before going onto Udon Thani. There used to be a 12 hour overnight visa run bus from Chiang Mai to Nong Khai, from where you can get to the bridge, but this may longer be operating. From Luang Prabang you could take a side trip to even more laid back Nong Khiaw and Muang Ngoi Neua on the Nam Ou River.

[@OnePackWanderers]

Thank you for the suggestions! It sounds like you are quite familiar with the area 🙂 We thought Laos' borders were still closed, but it seems they may not be. Definitely looking into Laos now!

[@johnprattley945]

i have done some further research and found that I had missed the requirement that tourists can visit Laos only on a pre-booked tour. I assume it is the governments way of restricting tourists to areas with high vaccination rates. So that's Laos out of the picture for independent tourists. My apologies for getting your hopes up.

There are some weird 7-11shops in Thailand. And there's also something that you might not have thought that 7-eleven in Thailand would have. In Bangkok, around Pak Kret area, there is a 7-eleven. located in front of PIM University It is a university of a company that directly owns 7-11 in Thailand. has made a trial shop that can be accessed will be 7-11 of the future There is a place for you to sit and eat coffee. You can buy it from the ground floor and heat it yourself in the microwave of the customer on the 2nd floor. and another branch is in Pattaya It is a 7-11 that has a co-working space that you can sit and use for free all day. But if you want to use the high speed wifi of 7-11, it's only 49 baht per day. Most of Thai KZbinrs come to make clips of challenges, often living in 7-11 stores 24 hours a day at 7-11 Pattaya branches. And some 7-11 stores will have freshly prepared food for you to choose from. There will be a food menu near the staff's microwave. When you order, the staff will cook for you to eat fresh. It's like a street food restaurant.

[@OnePackWanderers]

That's so cool! If we're ever in the area, we'll have to check it out. Coworking space at 7-11 is something we thought we'd never hear 😯

[@ThaiEsan2]

The filming technique is very good.

[@PakM3388]

Recommend M-100 or Redbulls with less sweetness and adding fizzy. try mixing "Singha" soda water in your preferred portion. You'll get the kinda of a canned carbonated Redbull in the west for THB 10. 😊

[@OnePackWanderers]

Awesome tip! Also did not know Singha made soda! We're used to the beer though 😂

Nice to see you are getting more comments - helps with the income . Yes the the Thai massages are wonderful - just what a sore diva needs ! check with your hotel about were to go you - there are some that you don't want to go to .

[@OnePackWanderers]

Maybe this is a sign that we've been putting off the Thai massage for too long 😂

[@Craftentrepreneurialexpert]

Have some cocktail at Sara Ayuthaya hotel during 4-7. You will be impressed by unique architecture there….hope you enjoy Ayuthaya

[@OnePackWanderers]

Thank you for the suggestion! Sounds like a nice spot to check out 🙂

[@arrukkikrina2755]

Around my house, within a radius of 1 kilometer, there are 4 7-11 stores. I don't go there much because I prefer to buy groceries. for a while We help to campaign for the general public to buy products from small shops to distribute income in balance. Do you know what product is the number 1 income for 7-11? It's a soft drink in a dispenser. If the price is 20 baht per cup Its cost is only 2 baht. for foreigners 7-11 is very reliable because it is convenient. Easy to find and good quality product at reasonable price. The good part of 7-11 outweighs the disadvantage. And I just wanted to ask you so much What am I typing this long for? hahaha

[@OnePackWanderers]

Thank you for the info! 7-11 is originally an American company but they are much more successful and nice in Thailand.

[@arrukkikrina2755]

@@OnePackWanderers Yeah, 7-11 is from America, I know. I've been looking since it came to Thailand as a new The first thing I bought at 7-11 was a slurpee.

Love the Bokeh on your camera ! What are you using to film ? Enjoying seeing your travels and videos.

[@OnePackWanderers]

We use an iPhone 13 Pro. It has something called 'cinematic mode' which is software-driven bokeh. Definitely has shortcomings but it's excellent for our uses, and much more lightweight than any dedicated camera. Thank you for the compliment as well 🙂

[@markscott5257]

@@OnePackWanderers Thanks for the reply ! Keep up the great travels and vids. I am really enjoying your content and personalities !

Love your videos. I think that was Chief David Chang in the 7-11 box. Looks so much like him 😅

[@OnePackWanderers]

You are right on the money, that was David Chang (we looked it up after).

[@plummetdown]

@@OnePackWanderers thanks for the confirmation. P.s I saw your Korean video, and I'm sorry you had to go through that. The older generation still has PTSD. I just tell them I'm American (even though I'm Korean American so people won't bother me while I'm in Korea ) hope you both are enjoying it there.

Tia should get an elephant massage in Ayutthaya. Will fix her back problem for sure. Lol Stop at the Bang Pa-In Palace near Ayutthaya if you have a chance. I took a boat from Bangkok to Ayutthaya, which included a stop there. Safe travels. Oh, and consider Luang Prabang, Laos as a possible next destination. Very lovely and peaceful. Snowing here in Asheville, North Carolina. 😆

[@OnePackWanderers]

Thank you for the tips and the information 🙂 Laos seems like a beautiful country, and we can't wait for it to open. Hello to Ashville! Cheveyo has some family in North Carolina. Doesn't snow there terribly often! Stay safe 😊

7/11 toasties (after a night on the booze) are the best!

We skipped a few videos to watch this one. I like the logo with the transparent background!!! Also, Tia - ugh re your back. Wasn't it also bothering you in Europe? I hope it feels better soon. No fun!

[@OnePackWanderers]

Thank you! The logo is Tia's design 🙂 You're right it was bothering Tia at times in Europe as well. It's an old running injury. One of those things that will probably be around for life, but can be managed at least.

Indeed! It is quite something to see a 7-11 on every corner, and sometimes two right next to each other!

[@tananonpisarnsongkram3935]

Recomm to explore the provinces in central part after you visited Ayutthaya. Angthong, Singburi, Suphanburi, or Karnchanaburi, I can say everywhere you will become the first western KZbinr visit there. Thailand, there are so many things to experience besides Chiangmai hahaha. For your info Lovely couple. ☺️☺️☺️

If you are thinking of going to Cambodia now I urge you to change your plan to Laos. Because Laos has a very beautiful nature, and most importantly, if you can get a lot of views and followers, then Laos is a good choice.
