The following list contains some treats that are at the top of Team Thailand Insider's list – irresistibly delicious snacks that are also readily available in the USA.
1. Jiraporn Solar-dried natural bananas
These sun-dried bananas are ideal for on the go – completely guilt-free. They're healthy, sweet, and an innovative alternative to the traditional Thai dessert Klua Tak (sun-dried bananas). Available at: Amazon
2. Manora Fried Shrimp Chips
Manora Fried Shrimp Chips are spicy, salty, and light. Thais typically serve them with Nam Prik Pao (chili paste) and a beer. Source: Import Food
3. Mama Instant Noodles
Originally an instant noodle soup, not a snack. But if you crumble it up, stir in the powder from the packets, and eat it like a snack, who's going to stop you? It comes in many flavors, for example, from Tom.

4. Taro seafood snack
A childhood snack that's been loved for generations. These fish fingers are so delicious, you simply can't stop snacking. They're sugar-free and high in protein. Microwaving them makes them even tastier and gives them a smoky flavor. Available at: 3 Aunties Thai Market
5. Koh Kae Peanuts
These peanuts are truly magical and therefore Thailand's most popular nut snack. They're addictive, and you simply can't stop eating them. There are many delicious varieties to choose from, and they're not as salty as other peanut brands. A must-try! Available at: Asian Mart
6. Tao Kae Noi (Tempura and Big Roll)
Tao Kao Noi has taken the US market by storm and has become a staple ever since! They offer a wide variety of products and delicious flavors, available in most Asian grocery stores. Many of you may already be familiar with their traditional crispy seaweed variety, but we've also included links to their tempura and big roll versions. These taste great on their own or pair wonderfully with a Thai beer.
7. Bento (Squiddy)
Bento is not for the faint of heart. The flavors are a true explosion of taste with a variety of spice levels. If you like spicy fish snacks, this is perfect for you! If you prefer something milder, we recommend swiping left. Available at: Amazon
8. M150 Energy Drink
Similar to Thailand's famous Red Bull, M150 is a popular energy drink that provides energy throughout the day. It also tastes great in cocktails. Available at: Amazon
9. Thai Iced Tea
There are countless Thai teas, but this one is our absolute favorite. It's not too sweet and has just the right amount of cream. Shake well before drinking and serve over ice. Available at: Amazon
10. Thai Cookie Sticks – Pretz and Pocky
Whether savory or sweet, these Thai cookie sticks are simply unbeatable. Both Pretz and Pocky come in countless flavors, from spicy Larb to crushed strawberries. The selection is practically endless, but be careful not to overdo it! The sticks are light and can be devoured in no time.
