Pumpkin thanks for your opinion. I understand that life in Bangkok or big city can be more hectic. I myself experienced that and know what it was like. People find it more convenient to go to 7-11. I myself went to Family mart in those days as I knew that it belonged to a Thai company. Now if it's needed I will choose to go to Freshmart as in Surat Thani all Family mart now closed down because every Family mart has 7-11 opening next to them.

Now in my hometown, a small village outside Surat Thani city, there are three 7-11s opened in the last year. People in the market now don't earn as much as they used to. Far from that consumers here would rather pay for the petrol for 400-500 baht to buy stuff from Tesco than buying from local shop for the same price.
