7-Eleven is a true symbol of Thailand. These 24/7 convenience stores are literally everywhere and have long become part of local culture.

In a separate article, we already talked in detail about 7-Eleven in Phuket: what you can buy there, how the stores are organized, and why tourists love them so much.

And here we’ve collected the top 10 snacks and drinks you should definitely try when visiting 7-Eleven in Thailand.

Triangle Sandwiches (7-Eleven Toasts)

These sandwiches are kept in the fridge near the cashier, and when you pay, they will обязательно ask if you want them heated. Always say “yes” — when hot, they taste completely different! The bread becomes crispy and the cheese melts inside.

There are many fillings: ham and cheese, spinach and cheese, tuna, sausage and cheese. The last one is an absolute favorite — the most delicious and the most popular.

They are best eaten immediately after heating: soft inside, crispy outside. This is the true “7-Eleven classic” that almost every tourist tries first.

Onigiri

Rice triangles wrapped in nori seaweed. You’ll find them in the fridge next to the cold sandwiches. Inside there are different fillings: tuna with mayonnaise, salmon, or small fish roe. A convenient and filling snack that’s easy to take to the beach or on the road.

To open them correctly, follow the instructions on the package — steps 1, 2, 3 — and the nori will unwrap neatly without tearing.

Pineapple Pie

One of the simplest yet most loved desserts at 7-Eleven. Crispy pastry and fragrant pineapple filling make this pie taste almost like homemade baking — which is probably why people love it so much.

It’s best when warm: they can heat it at the cashier, and then the pastry becomes soft and the filling extra juicy. A perfect choice with morning coffee or as a sweet daytime snack.

Lava Cake

A small chocolate dessert you can find in the fridge with other sweets. Soft sponge cake on the outside and warm melted chocolate filling inside.

They heat it right at the counter, and then the lava cake becomes especially tender and aromatic.

Melon or Banana Milk

Melon milk is a favorite among tourists, and banana milk is also very popular.

Both are tasty and unusual, but quite sweet. We recommend trying at least one for the authentic Thai flavor.

Jelly Drinks

Small soft packs can be found in the fridge near juices and milk drinks. Inside, it’s not just liquid but small jelly pieces with a light fruity taste.

They cost around 15 baht and are often called “collagen drinks,” although that’s mostly marketing. People love them for their unusual texture and refreshing taste.

Lychee Ice Cream

The ice cream selection at 7-Eleven is huge, but this one really stands out. On top is a layer of frozen lychee juice, and inside is soft creamy ice cream. A simple combination, but very tasty and refreshingly tropical.

Dried Fish Strips

In Thailand, this is a real hit among snacks. Thin strips of dried fish are sold in the chips and snacks section, often next to nuts.

They have a sweet-salty taste and a strong aroma — a great snack for those who like something unusual. Many tourists call them “the perfect beer snack” and buy extra before island trips.

Chips with Unusual Flavors

The chip selection at 7-Eleven is enormous, from classic to very unexpected flavors. Thais love experimenting, so you can find options with salted egg, nori, truffle, or even spicy squid.

We recommend trying the nori flavor — it’s the mildest and most familiar.

Oishi Honey Tea

This tea is a real find for iced tea lovers. It’s sold in big and small bottles and kept in the fridge with ready-to-drink beverages — usually on the lower shelves.

It has a soft taste, light sweetness, and pleasant honey aroma. Oishi Honey Tea is great both in hot weather and on cooler days. It’s a true Thai bestseller.
