Even better in Taiwan. You get deliveries, pay bills, etc, along with much better food.
Plus, many 7-Eleven stores in Thailand close overnight or on weekends, especially if it's not a busy area and there is little customers at 3 in the morning.

In Thailand you generally cannot buy something at an online shop and come retrieve it from your local 7/11, while Taiwan it's often a practical and cheaper delivery mechanism

You were hellbanned years ago, so sadly a lot of your comments about life in the Philippines have been in vain. You might want to reach out to HN, maybe some sort of automation fucked up.
??? I'm not seeing a ban; comments are visible to me. Perhaps mixing up with someone else?

I know in 7-Eleven in Thailand it's possible to get car insurance, buy airplane tickets, probably concert tickets, etc...
And also open 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.
I'm quite happy our village in Thailand recently got their own 7-Eleven. And it looks like excellent business for the people that started the franchise in our village. Always customers inside at day time and even at night quite often people buying stuff.
I like that I now have a shop nearby where I can buy milk, or a fresh cappuchino. Other mini marts in our village would not offer those products.
