10 Things You Cannot Miss At 7-11 in Bangkok

Regular sandwiches may be great, but filled sandwiches? They’re the real game changers. You can find all sorts of filled sandwiches while in Bangkok’s 7-11, from chocolate banana to even gooey cheese and ham! Filled sandwiches might just make you never want regular ones ever again!
2. Try the Various Ice Cream Flavours

Since it is a 24-hour convenience store, you can satisfy your sugary cravings at any time of the day. Remember to try their classic flavours like Mango and Coconut Corn while you’re there!
3. Edible Insects
We’re sure you’ve heard of edible insects by now, but who knew you could get packaged ones from 7-11? They’re really good as gag gifts and instant pick-me-up snacks! Some of the flavours like salted and barbecue are actually (surprisingly) delicious! Don’t knock it till you try it.
4. Instant Noodles
Have you really been to Bangkok if you haven’t tried the MaMa brand Instant Noodles? Yes, they’re the flavoured packet noodles you often get when you eat Mookata!

7. Cuttlefish Snacks
Cuttlefish is an amazing snack to have while you’re enjoying beer with your friends and family! It’s highly addictive because it is light but is packed with flavour. They have in many different variations including the lightly salted kind, but if it’s your first time, your best bet is to get the Tom Yum flavoured one!
8. Thai Spicy Pretz Sticks
