My (future) Thai family has/does both - (small) rubber & palm plantations and a local shop (stock out on their front porch) and as far as I could tell on my last visit folks there don't buy junk food from a local Seven, they'd rather pluck a fish from the pond in the back or cross the street and have the neighbor hack a chicken's head off..and for this I'm glad. I don't think I saw a Seven in Bang Saphan Noi at all, but I wouldn't necessarily be surprised if there was one I missed along the main road, or will be soon. The slow and whole life, the one they still live down in those parts, may not be around too much longer. I'm happy to hear about what you're teaching your students Nana.
