  • NEW Turtle Convenience stores at 24 BTS Skytrain stations in Bangkok. The shops are on the middle platform of the stations. Easy to buy your food and groceries before you go home. They open every day from 6 am till 11 pm.
    The NANA station Turtle Shop opened a few weeks ago. I had a check inside during a rainy day. Raining Season is around the corner.

    I love it that you constantly and consistently updates about new "happenings" in Bangkok. I am missing Bangkok because this year I visited KL instead, and won't be either next year (visiting elsewhere). I fell in love with Bangkok since my 2nd visit in 2017 and had visited every year, except only for 2021 & 2022. 🐢 Turtle stores' concept is a brilliant idea, since many smaller tenants cannot sustain low sales in BTS stations that often looks sad and vacated. Making each station feels very lonely late at night.

  • @somluck2813
    @somluck2813 Місяць тому +4

    The Turtle shop offers discounts for the use of Rabbit Card.
    Obviously, the primary reason people have Rabbit cards is for the 50% + discount on BTS travel costs for those that purchase monthly travel passes.

    • @polesapart
      @polesapart Місяць тому +1

      So, monthly pass is back? Is it available for tourists? Can it be purchased at every BTS station for CASH??? Or only via app and with credit card. Asking this bcz a friend purchased something in Thailand online and her credit card got blocked while she was 10,000 km from her home. So, option with CASH would be very welcomed if this is available for foreigners! If there is no cash option can our Thai friends purchase this with their credit card and we give them cash in the same time???
      Also, can we buy more than one monthly package if we use more rides (I see 35 trips are offered at 1,155 baht)? Would be very helpful if you or Jeroen could figure this out! I remember this option was available more than 10 years ago but than it was abandoned. Glad to see it back bcz even though BTS seems cheap, it actually is not, and it's so easy to spend 100 USD or more in a month just on BTS. So, this savings are great even for foreigners who explore the city a lot and use BTS while doing so. Thank you!

    Not sure if using this space in the BTS stations for additional convenience stores is a good idea specially during office hours... The stations look a bit cramped now.
    I hope it's not gonna kill the smaller shops.

  • @jamesmartin1895
    @jamesmartin1895 Місяць тому +1

    “No minimum to buy” as an American I am happy to know this, this applies to all convenient stores here in the US. Now in the US, especially here down South, if you use the gas station or convenience store toilet - the bare minimum is to buy a soda or a candy bar, or else it’s considered disrespectful 😣 - do they practice this in Bangkok?

  • @hassanalihusseini1717
    @hassanalihusseini1717 25 днів тому

    Interesting video.
    Turtle stores are nice and convienient. But they cannot keep up with 7/Eleven when it comes to air conditioning as the doors are nrarly permanently opened by people who use the shop only as a "transit" place from one side of the station to the other.
    And I wonder how all the the goods are delivered to the shops as it might be difficult when there only is one small lift from street to concourse level where the shops are located. I have to observe that one day. 555

  • @MB-uz2ns

  • @Truth-of-the-matter
    @Truth-of-the-matter Місяць тому +1

    Regarding your comment about Transit being complicated in Bangkok I'd argue that Tokyo is much more complicated when you look at a transit map. Tokyo also has several companies running different transit systems like Bangkok. Getting around Tokyo (while efficient) felt more complicated then Bangkok. Ideally it would be nice if all transit operators in Bangkok would use card to ride the network vs two or three.

    When you talk about credit cards are you also referring to debit cards?
    I find the use of term credit card extremely problematic as many websites refer to only credit cards and do not mention debit cards notwithstanding the sites accept debit cards.
    Also you did not mention direct transfer from your bank account and the Turtle bank via the use of a QR code.

    • @globaltravelmate
      @globaltravelmate  Місяць тому +2

      In 7-Eleven you need to spent a minimum of 200 THB to be able to use your credit card. This is what I was refering to. You can just pay with your debit card without issue as far as I know.

    Hi J - I was in BKK last week and was surprised to see these Turtle shops are now at virtually every BTS! I used it to grab a few cold drinks on my way back to my hotel instead of having to go down to street level and find a 7 Eleven.
    I assume these are somehow linked with the SuperRich (orange) money exchanges as I see some of them are now branded SuperRich Turtles ?
