Many McDonalds would close down , like many Subways have already done I think you've got the wrong of McD's demographic. Foreigners voting with their feet would make precious little difference to McThai's bottom line considering most of their customers are Thai!

I knew an American in my condo whose sole diet was Big Macs and fries. He went into a coma and died after three days when his entire digestive system stopped moving, completely clogged. I'd suggest he would have been fine with fruit and vegetables. Dead people can't sue. I suppose eventually there will be a lawyers' feast when some morbidly obese person goes after Maccas and/or KFC because the airlines refuse to carry them. he should have tried to poop between each meals, it could have saved his life ! ????

How about the Australian beef? your find fish is imported too That's why I said "almost none". You'll find that McThai's fish isn't imported.

Thai food are much healthier and cheaper. I don't think your right on that . Almost all thai food is fried in oil or made with a lot of sugar, salt and ainamoto and the quality of a burger is quit good , i don't mean that MC donald is not expensive but it's not as fat as you think compared to thai food . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in Singapore airport a few months ago and was struck by the fact that their food court had normal prices, the 7-11 had normal prices, my bottle of duty free whisky cost half what it would in Thailand. I also while there remembered that during the year government officials took a tour of Swampy airport and declared that prices were too high and they must be reduced. And then, as usual, nothing happened. Their job was done, they had spoken. Not their job to actually do anything about it. That's the Thai way, always, about anything.

That's true Trans, but you have to admit they have gone a bit crazy with their prices, I only used them occasionally, but now I won't use them at all, just the very odd KFC or Chesters.

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. There are many good restaurants like Sizzlers, MDs, but I like French Fries or mash in the odd times I use restaurants. So these restaurants are out.

Some of the fish is imported so stop guessing Australian beef is not used for the normal burgers, it's an option on the menu for a more expensive burger (if it is really imported Australian beef), so a small percentage is imported. As I said, almost none is imported. McThai's fish is not imported, I'm not guessing. Edited December 26, 2019 by Just Weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoshowJones Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 19 hours ago, tropo said: 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? I was going to give you a like till I read your last paragraph. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
