I was going to suggest Lorenz also. Their salt n vinegar is also excellent! Villa has these.

I have seen Lorenz in Big C and Fresh Mart also.

[Pib]

Yea, Lorenz is good.

Was there some sort of official announcement? What is an "apparent decision"? And why does this statement make me think of swimming horses?

Lay's has a contest going on now, "Do us a Flavor" with Eva Longoria and (Iron Chef) Michael Symon, soliciting new flavor ideas for chips. The winner gets $1 million (USD) or 1% of the sales, they have to choose.

Some funky suggestions including "Cajun Squirrel", probably submitted from one of the guys on "Duck Dynasty".

PLANO, Texas, July 20, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Power up those taste buds -- a nationwide search for the next great Lay's potato chip flavor is officially underway. Lay's, one of the marquee brands from PepsiCo's Frito-Lay division, today kicked off its "Do Us A Flavor" contest that invites fans to submit their potato chip flavor ideas for the chance to win $1 million in grand prize money or one percent of their flavor's 2013 net sales (whichever is higher). From now until Oct. 6, consumers can share their flavor inspirations on the Lay's Facebook page ( https://www.facebook.com/lays ), with the winning flavor being revealed in 2013, the year Lay's - America's most-loved potato chip brand - celebrates its 75-year anniversary.

To launch the contest, the Lay's brand is creating its first-ever pop-up store in New York City's Times Square - a place known for bringing unique flavors from around the world together. At this one-of-a-kind Lay's flavor destination, consumers can sample up to 20 existing Lay's flavors and learn about unique Lay's potato chip flavors from around the world in order to excite their palates and inspire their contest submissions.

Most of Thai food are spicy and hot and so the Thai loses their sense of taste and have to add spices to everything to make it taste good

[Thaddeus]

Pringles........... it's the only way to fry.

[PattayaPhom]

New sweet n sour, pink bag..dont know brand but in 7 and family...lovely, just like salt n vinegar and same price as Lays

[LuckyLew]

Life is pretty good is all you have to complain about is a lack of a certain type of potato chip

As the saying goes "there is more to life than potato chips"

[gennisis]

Pringles........... it's the only way to fry.

No Way...Kettle by a mile...and their Vinegar and Sea Salt will take any fur off your tongue

[zydeco]

Just bought Lay's at the 7-11. Barbacue and plain. All great and good as usual.

Fine if you can get them, difficult round these parts.

[zydeco]

If I could get a specialty import here, it would be Zapp's, especially their Cajun Dill and Cajun Jalepeno and Cajun Crawtators.

Might as well just have a plate of salt.

[ddpffft]

Might as well just have a plate of salt.

this is the point for the lays and the pringles, imo...

but not so for lorenz....

[DrTuner]

I've given up on Lay's, they're just too greasy with way too many variations. Kettle's chips are the best here (imported from U.S.), and sensible package sizes too.

[Gone]

I was wondering why I couldn't buy regular in the 7-11's any more.

[MAN2SIN2BKK]

Cheese and Onion please..................................

[MrRed]

Walker's the kings of crisps.

Cheese and Onion

Salt and Vinegar

Walker's the kings of crisps.

Cheese and Onion

Salt and Vinegar

Agreed but these are my fav.

[nocturn]

and a new lays flavour i had the misfortune of trying "American Cheesey Paprika"

Paprika chips is hardly an american thing. German, yes, American no.

kettle sea salt and pepper.

lorenz are good, but something about them gives the impression they are 80 percent msg, the flavours are just too defined.

I prefer popcorn made in, of all things, my microwave rice cooker.

butter, parmesan, seasoning salt, onion salt, paprika, you name it. experiment. And you know exactly what you are eating

[impulse]

I do miss my one pound bags of Rippled Chips available everywhere in the USA. Can't seem to find anything bigger here than about 1/4 lb for almost the same price as a pound back home.

But between lack of reasonably priced chips and ice cream, I've probably prevented adding 6 inches to my belly.

God works in strange ways...

[impulse]

I prefer popcorn made in, of all things, my microwave rice cooker.

Okay, spill. Where did you buy the microwave rice cooker? I can't imagine they'd be hard to find in Thailand of all places, but I seem to be looking in all the wrong shops...

What are you saying? This is probably the second most important thread ever to appear on TV. The most important one of all concerned where to buy Dr. Pepper.

[MYKTHEMIN]

What happened to the Peking Duck and sauce Lay crisps, I loved them!!!

[somchaimaidai]

Walker's the kings of crisps.

Cheese and Onion

Salt and Vinegar

Salt and Vinegar Walkers take some beating. My favourite 'crisps' are scampi fries and bacon frazzles which I found in Thonglor Tops once and since then never to be seen again

[Shot]

The regular are not to be found in Phuket either. I have a friend that has a few mini marts, and she told me that her chip distributor claims that Lays only uses the best potatoes, which are in shortage now for the plain chips. The #2 potatoes are used for the flavored chips.

I love Kettle brand Salt and Vinegar.

[Ulysses G.]

I am fine with Lays and they are cheaper than other decent brands. I prefer plain or the sour cream with onion or garlic, but BBQ are not bad either.

[meand]

oh god, if you are going to complain about something like this is simply must, MUST be that there are no tortilla chips to speak of here (yes i know you can probably find them somewhere for like 250 baht a bag, not interested). Anyway......
