10 Thai Snacks You Have To Get When You're In Bangkok
Lays Grilled Prawn and Seafood Sauce

This bag of chips contains two flavours – grilled prawn and seafood sauce – which can be differentiated from its orange and green hues. Both flavours are precise and evident and the flavour is my top pick for a flavoured chip to try.

Squid Snacks

Broadly calling them squid snacks, this category of tidbits contains squid and can be baked, fried, slathered in chilli sauce and more. The result is an umami-rich snack perfect alone or with a glass of cold beer.

Lays Hot Chilli Squid

Lays’ Hot Chilli Squid flavour is, in my opinion, an almost perfect recreation of its namesake taste. Either snack you pick will be difficult to put down after a single bite.

Lays Seafood Twist

Imagine tom yum kung (or tom yum soup with prawns) in a chip form – this is it.

Lays Mieng Kam Krob Ros

Mieng Kam (or miang kham) is a traditional Thai snack food or appetiser made with a series of herbs, dried shrimp, lime and nuts wrapped in a leaf and eaten in a bite. The resulting mix is a celebration of flavours that are representative of Thai food culture.

Rice Cracker

Made with puffed jasmine rice, rice crackers come in a myriad of flavours with toppings such as pork shrimp, dried shrimp, Thai chilli paste and more. Take your pick.

Tawan Tapioca Chip Somtum and Grilled Chicken
image

Somtum (or papaya salad) and grilled chicken (gai yang) is a classic Thai pairing. And that harmony is captured in these tapioca chips, which have a fluffy texture that won’t stick to the teeth as potato chips do.

Tom Yum Crisp
image

Crispy dried shrimp and rich cashew nuts coated in an addictive tom yum sauce. You could use it to jazz up a plain meal too. It also comes in a version with dried fish instead of shrimp.

Tawan Tapioca Chips Larb Saab
image

Larb is a Northeastern (Isaan) Thai dish that’s also highly loved in Laos. The salad is made with minced meat dressed with fresh herbs such as mint and shallots as well as toasted rice that imparts a lovely nutty note.

Flavoured Nuts

For those who want a healthier option, there are a plethora of flavoured nuts to pick from to make your beer snacks more interesting.
