9-9-2024 (BANGKOK) A young man in Bangkok has been captured on video visiting a local 7-Eleven convenience store wearing nothing but a towel. The incident, which has since gone viral, has left netizens both amused and astonished by the shopper’s brazen approach to running errands.
The footage, originally shared on TikTok by user kikie_pmd, shows the scantily-clad customer perusing the store’s ready-to-eat food section with the same ease one might expect from someone rummaging through their own refrigerator. The proximity of the man’s residence to the store has been speculated upon, with many suggesting his home must be adjacent to the 7-Eleven to explain his startlingly casual attire.
As the video circulated, eagle-eyed viewers zoomed in on the footage, noting that the daring shopper had managed to tuck his wallet into the folds of the towel at his back, while clutching only a mobile phone in his hand. This attention to detail, despite his minimalist clothing choice, has added to the intrigue surrounding the incident.

The unusual shopping trip has sparked a wave of humorous comments across social media platforms. Some wags have suggested that 7-Eleven might need to update its slogan from “Come here whenever you wake up” to the more accommodating “Come here whenever you’re hungry”, in light of the customer’s apparent readiness to shop at a moment’s notice, regardless of his state of dress.
However, not all reactions have been light-hearted. A number of concerned netizens have expressed worry about the precarious nature of the shopper’s attire, with some jokingly “praying” that the towel remains securely in place. The potential for an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction has not been lost on commentators, who have pointed out that such an incident would likely be captured by the store’s CCTV, potentially creating a new piece of convenience store folklore.
