Thread: American Snack Foods

It could be worse for him: If a lot of Australians signed in.

I know that, Fabian. But from what I've heard, they don't carry the same varieties that are sold here in the U.S. Now, that seems odd to me, since the coffees are from all over the world. But that's what I was told.

Do you buy there, or visit for a cup now and then? If so, maybe you can check it out for me. My favorite varieties are 'Sumatra' and 'French Roast'. If those are sold there, I'm all set.

Hello,
I am new to this site and traveling in general. My uncle lives in Bangkok and invited me over for his wedding. I've never been outside the US, so I am worried about a bunch of things. Although rice and stir fry is OK, I would rather eat American food while I am there. You know like burgers, pizza, fried chicken (people food). Do they have McDonalds, Pizza Hut, and KFC in Thailand? Also, I did a google search and saw that their are some terrorist in the South. Have they ever attacked Bangkok? Would they target Americans? Thanks for your help. I'm really nervous about this trip.

You're making a big mistake if you don't eat Thai food while you're here. I've asked about American food ONLY so that I can have a bit of it occasionally. But I will be living on Thai food most of the time there, as I do here, having been married to a Thai for the last 33 years.

Now, if you MUST eat junk food, rather than the outstanding Thai food available there, go to it. You'll find Burgerking, McDonalds, Pizza Hut, and KFC, among others. Admittedly, their food does taste different than what you'd get in one of them in the U.S. But, after all, junk is junk!

C'mon, take a shot. Eat Thai while you're there. If you go to quality places, I guarantee you'll get hooked! If you don't like hot and spicy, don't worry. It is NOT all like that. Just get some help from someone to either order foods that are not hot, or request the spicy stuff be just "one chili". That won't be intolerable to you.

Yup we do have all of the above, and you should be worried. The muslims in the south came up last night and blew up a warehouse of pirated CD's in Don Muang near my house.

You gotta be a troll dude!!!

Randy, so nice to hear from you.
In the past people would have posted questions like this only Lonely Planet, hoping to get the answer they're looking for but, as our fame spreads I guess we should expect more folks to ask the many resident experts residing here.

Randy, Bangkok is really like any major American city. You're going to love it! It's wall-to-wall KFC, MacDonalds, Pizza Hut, Starbucks, Wendys, Walmart, etc. and everybody here speaks American! Yup, not just English but Good ole USofA speak.
It's a great place. We got black people driving taxis and opening doors, chinese people cooking food and doin' laundry, hell we evn got some Limey's over here to walk around funny and talk that crazy talk they do.
man, you're gonna love it here, get yer ass on that plane pronto.

Love pooly....

hi desi!

ROFLMAO!!

I have no connection to this randy fellow.

Seriously, what LOS is lacking is a Taco Bell. You can't beat a Mexican Pizza and a nacho chalupa after a long drinking session.

I guess there is not enough demand for that kind of food because else Bill Heinecke would have already opened a chain of Taco Bell restaurants.

Pity Randy posted this in the american snack thread as I feel it may have done itself justice as a thread in it's own right.

I thought you were from the dunes!?

Anyway, there's a few great things to come from Frisko; A couple of our premier posters and Metallica.

^^
Just a little inside joke, doesn't warrant a whole thread.

For those of you that are new here, the original thread was the first troll of the planet ever done on teakdoor. It, along with a few others, lead to the creation of the trolling forum

This moment in teakdoor history was brought to you by the "dear pooly" thread. Ask Pooly to solve all your mental and physical problems. Especially if you're a gal with a nice rack.

Didn't they open a Taco Bell or two here a few years ago? Pops?

I was living in Bangkok about three years(?) ago Thought I saw on on Suk with a drive through???
Was that a bad dream???
Taco bell, Shit mexican but, preeeeetty tasty when those munchies hit.

Nah it was a piece of shit copy called Taco Time, but that was years ago in the old Ambassador Arcade. Shite is was.

I have been trying to get a Taco Bell here for over 15 years. Pepsico is just not into it. It would be perfect as now in the states many KFC's have a Taco Bell attached. We have the KFC's but sadly not the TB's.

Surely Taco Bell is just a franchise, so if you had the money, they would just let you get on with it?

Or did you want them to fund it?

Carre Four has some wicked cookies 116B a pack - Something Farm - big chunks of chocolate soft and chewy.

Its not that simple Marmers, its owned by Pepsico Int. And they are not keen to enter this market. I have tried everything including a visit to corporate headquarters 5 years ago.

There's a few Mexican type places in BKK, but apart from Senor Picos, none of them seem that good or sucessful. Maybe a brand name would be more sucessful, but I'm not convinced that there is a big market for it here.

Senor Picos is okay, the drinks are better than the food. I always get a taste of cardomen or some indian spice in my mexican food when I eat at picos. Perhaps I shouldnt have seen the chef adjusting his turban.
