Tao Bin Launches Premium 'Specialty' Vending Machines
Forth Vending has begun rolling out new 'Flying Turtle Specialty' machines, offering 80 premium beverage options including specialty coffee and ceremonial-grade matcha.
According to a report by Prachachat Business, Forth Vending, the operator of the popular 'Tao Bin' automated beverage kiosks, has started installing a new generation of machines branded as 'Flying Turtle Specialty.'
These upgraded units are designed to cater to consumers seeking higher-quality ingredients, featuring a menu of 80 premium drinks. Key highlights of the new selection include specialty-grade coffee and ceremonial-grade matcha. Pricing for these premium offerings starts at 40 baht per cup.
For residents and travelers in Thailand, this expansion represents a shift in the automated retail landscape, moving beyond standard convenience drinks toward more artisanal, café-style options available 24/7. The introduction of these machines may provide a convenient alternative for those looking for high-quality beverages without visiting a traditional coffee shop.
While the rollout has commenced, details regarding the specific locations of these new machines and the full timeline for their nationwide deployment remain to be confirmed. Consumers should look for the 'Flying Turtle Specialty' branding to identify these new units as they appear in public spaces.
