CoffeeThe 7-Eleven

เซเว่น

Cold, air-conditioned, open, and it has a toilet. Do not be proud about it.

What it is

In the towns, the convenience store is a coffee stop, a water stop, a shade stop and a toilet. It is also the most reliable of the four.

The long version

Inference — there is a kind of rider who will ride past a 7-Eleven in forty-degree heat because it is not characterful. That rider arrives at the guesthouse dehydrated, and dehydration on a bike arrives without a signal because the airflow stops you noticing you are sweating.

What it is good for: cold water in quantity, shade with air conditioning in it, a toilet that is always there, an ATM, a phone top-up, and coffee that is fine.

What it is not good for is the reason you came. Between the towns, stop at the stall with the bench and the view. In the towns, at two in the afternoon, in March, take the air conditioning.
