Seem Thai people use English language mixing between American English and British English style. Good that we know which word from American English and which word from British English.

I've only really heard Thai people use the American way for potato snacks! I guess that is because of McDonald's and Lays.

It's very delicious. I like it with lots of vinegar and some mayonnaise.

Delicious and very unhealthy! I try not to eat fast food often, but sometimes I get a craving for it!
