There are three main convenience stores in Thailand being 7-11, Family Mart and 108 Shop.
I was walking out of the university campus last night to go grab some grub and catch a flick when I noticed a pamphlet on the ground. It caught my eye because it had the e-pay Thailand logo on it. It turns out that e-pay is in the process of getting their points of sale into selected Family Mart stores.
Why is this important? Well there are thousands of them, about as many as there are 7-11 stores and there's at least 10 of those within a 10 minute walk in any direction! As I said earlier, I've noticed e-pay signs springing up everywhere here so they're really getting their act together. I went back later and visited the Family Mart and sure enough, the e-pay sticker was on the door and the terminal was set up and ready to go. The main point here is points of sale!!!!! And now there's going to be many more with this move alone. Being the fact that e-pay is also in 108 stores, they thereby have the better part of the retail market.
Today is a good day for all things e-pay!!!!
