Popular Post Sundown Posted December 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 25, 2019 Once in a while I used to go at McDonald's and get a double big Mac burger set for 215 baht (+10 baht upsize). The other day I went and they wanted to charge me 265 baht. I laughed at their face and turned away immediately thinking it was a stunt of that particular restaurant. I went to mcthai website and to my surprise I saw that the prices increased from 25% to even almost 70% for some items. Bye mcdonalds, I will not miss you anyway. 25 2 1 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave up junk food a long time ago, suffice to say when I am out in say Central Plaza for example, I will head downstairs with the wife and buy me a nice meal in the food court, like rice with stir fried vegetables with cashew nuts and an egg sunny side up on the top for 80 baht of $4 Australian. Did you know a McDonald's burger is made so it does not decompose, even after 10 years and your eating that $hit, see link below, eat clean, it's better for you and cheaper for you with less sugar and salts to clog those arteries and even give you diabetes.

Popular Post ThomasThBKK Posted December 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 25, 2019 (edited) These brands are positioned as "premium" brands here, same as KFC. They don't want to be cheaper, but i have good news, you can get a real burger for 200 baht with dry aged steak... It's really easy, just buy somewhere else. MCD and co prices are so unimportant, i don't know who gets riled up over that. What really matters is gasoline, taxi, real estate, rental, insurance, hospital and TAXES etc prices.

I hope you don't really believe that about McDonald's, and I would never eat street food, in a mall yes, but would have to be the same place each rare occasion, because I am over having the runs, and having drip lines in my veins, and the likes. Fortunately for me, I have a wife that loves to cook for me anytime, including home made burgers with home baked bread, ground beef with pepper, caramelized onions, egg and melting Mozzarella cheese, to die for, yeh, love my Tiruk, I told her a long times ago that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, she took it hook, bait and sinker ???? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It tastes awful to me now, all the unnatural chemical flavorings make me gag, to each their own.. Yeah, much better to eat Thai food that has been fried in lavish quantities of cheap oils and spiced so intensely that you can't taste it. They have the best cooking oil in the world to use at a decent price (coconut oil), but instead they use palm oil. On a serious note, suggesting that all Western food is garbage is a ridiculous comment. Most of my food is Western food that I cook myself, and it is far from being garbage. Obviously we use much of the same produce, but just cook it better. I have no idea why anyone would eat McDonalds. If I did need an occasional McDonald's burger, I wouldn't complain about a 50 baht increase. It's a treat for some people, right?
