Hi Greg,

Been to Bangkok and I must say their 7-11 is not authentic without these stuffs in their shelves. I really loved the Quince and Berry Essence of Brand’s.

Price of those in TH is cheap compared to PH. That’s why I felt a bit rich when I visited TH 🙂

Thumbs up on your rating system!

Hey Chris, thanks. There are definitely a few things that work wonders in terms of helping me feel better. There’s also a lot that are pure marketing and make no sense. That’s why I’m here – to find out which one is which. 😛

Hi greg.

I’ve just found your blog. It’s very funny.
Yes my wife and I bought this giftbox of bird’s nest a few.years.ago for my mother in law. That tastes quite good.

What I’ve noticed that thai or asian people in general have products for.all kinds of illnesses.

Last year I had this stomach pain and had to go to the toilet 5 times in a row. Ate some bad food. And my wife went to the 7/11 and came back with a sports drink with electolyte or something inside. But miracles worked and my problem vanished.

I will start read your other posts as well.

Greetings from the netherlands

Chris

In reply to Elisa. Hi Elisa, thanks. It's true - one of the first things I do in any new country is browse the convenience stores. Always treasures to find!

This was great!! I am planning my first international solo trip to Thailand and I can’t wait to fly into Bangkok! I can’t wait to try all the interesting things we can’t get in the states.

The plum wasn’t the worst…but it wasn’t the best. 😀

That was fun to read. I also always wondered how these drinks tasted…now I won’t need to taste them myself. I’ve tried one of those plum drinks though.

In reply to Jay.

Yeah, that was a fun blog while it lasted. I see it’s now a fashion blog – boo fashion! I should do more taste-testing blogs – maybe something where I sample EVERYTHING in 7-11? Maybe I can get some sponsorship. 😀
