The only other Thai brands I can recall are Cosmo, MP, RPC, PC, SP and ST but there are some 13,508 unbranded (or provincially branded) stations amongst Thailand's 18,407 service stations.

Was on the road again and collected the following obscure names:

*Petro Asia
*CPF

What's more -

* Cosmo does have a convenience store brand: the fabulous Cosmo Mart! (Certainly not a common sight.)
* TPI (sometimes) also seems to have some sort of shop attached, though very lackluster and apparently without name (their stations all look old and run-down, anyway)
* In the case of PTT, we forgot to mention the Amazon Cafe coffee shop brand that has been popping up lately in many locations (excellent Ice Latte, by the way!). Furthermore, I have seen Book Smile (always strikes me as an extraordinarily stupid name...) stores at some of their stations - strange world we live in, book stores at gas stations, I wonder what's next......

Here's yet another local gas station brand for you freaks, and it's a cool name to boot:

"Tanko" (seen in Uttaradit).......

Sadly they will - PTT has two years to change them over to either 7-Eleven or an 'in-house' brand. The difference is that as Jiffy are company operated not franchised, PTT may thus try to run them as their own brand.

Either way, come 2009, Jiffy is not more.

3 years later, and it has turned out that PTT are indeed running them as their own brand and have even kept the Jiffy name.

What's more, there is now a Jiffy G-Store without a gas station at the Phayathai SARL station!

PTT PCL (the creditor of SRT who propviced Diesel fueld + lujbircants to SRT Locos) has leased the space to installa Jiffy at Phyathai station and so on.
