I'm not sure if the 3 story Dongtan 7/11 closure is temporary or permanent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pdoggg Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 If there was a Romscar for Best 7/11, the one at Pratumnak Beach would certainly be a contender with 9 outdoor tables where you quaff 39 baht Leos while playing backgammon without the interference of bargirls. With Covid restrictions there are no chairs at the tables but at sunset tonight there was a gathering of the great unmasked sitting on the steps drinking beer in a KGB convention of sorts. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pdoggg Posted October 7, 2021 Author Share Posted October 7, 2021 My favorite 7/11 now has 8 tables outside with just 1 chair per table. Not sure what happens if you try to move a chair and sit with a friend. Nice view facing the sea. I did see some empty beer bottles on the tables. The extra hour before curfew feels like Daylight Savings Time. More people seem to be congregating at restaurants and I see beer bottles in some and mugs in others. Enforcement seems to be lax but I don't want to end up in the Pattaya Mail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I take it you will not be going to Chanthaburi province which has just banned all alcohol sales. Think Famous had a Road Trip there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChesterH Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Such a confusing joint atm... Even here my 7/11 still won't sell alcohol after 8pm, closes at 9... Yet last night the one on beach road was open to 10 and selling alcohol to 10.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite 7/11 now has 16 tables. I like to go out out late so tonight went out at 10 PM to the 7/11. Very strange that bars have to close at 9PM but you can buy beer at the 7/11 and drink at a proper table much later. The cops did show up at 11:30, turned on the swirling lights and the staff started taking away the chairs. No worry that customers would be busted though. The police know there would be hell to pay if customers were arrested at tables provided by 7/11. I guess some of you may not mind going out at 6PM since bars close at 9PM but it's just not for me and body clock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. The tables on the lower level are quite a distance away. Not sure if the door even has that sound. Perhaps the sound is disabled? Or I'm immune to it? I'll check it out on my next visit.

JustSumGai Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 that's just bragging, the bastard. NO info on how to get R DONE. I hate asshats like that haha. I know it's possible, just too phone stupid to figure out how. Plus my cheap dumbphone prolly can't handle it. I'll hit that google search you posted and look for real info :) Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am clueless when it comes to tech but somehow managed to download one on my Samsung. Biggest snag I hit was forgetting my Google Play Password but after sorting that out managed to set it as my ringtone. What I downloaded has some traffic noise as well as the 7/11 tune. That's OK though and it does work. However 99% of my calls are on the Line App which comes with 4 default tones and also some optional paid ringtones to download which I ain't paying for.

JustSumGai Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 well, ain't that stupid after all...it's on the phone. Yeah, I have the same ringtone, appears to be one of FEW on the web, another has the tone and WELCOME. It would not be hard to find a 7/11 LATE at night when there is little to no traffic, and go in and out of the door sensor a few times to get a good recording. Guess it's not all that popular but IS somewhat so as there are a number of ringtone sites that have that in short, medium and long format (guess they just slow the recording down a bit, changes the tone tho). For backup, if I want a somewhat irritating one I have a rooster crowing or that group singing WHO CAN IT BE NOW.... haha. Thanks for providing that lil push to get it done with your reply post and url. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was even more complicated to me than the old LaBamba discount card. Today, I started googling around looking at old info, but it appears that there are two things that you can do with these stamps. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. 1) You can redeem them for any purchase which is a surprise to me. 2) You can save them up for special stuff that looks mostly like junk to me. I think in general, for every 50 baht you spend that you get one stamp. But certain items gives you bonus stamps. I think at some point they expire but I have no idea when the current promotion expires. If anyone knows about this stuff, please fill us in! I haven't been given any 7/11 stamps this trip. The receipt I get has a QR code on it. Has that replaced the stamps? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
