As I said, almost none is imported. McThai's fish is not imported, I'm not guessing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searat7 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 The long-standing McDonald’s in CP Tower on Silom Road closed December 15 with no notice. This was a very busy location too. Am curious as to why they closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just cannot go all these green stuff, tomatoes and cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the way I take a break at the Service Center usually at breakfast time and enjoy the Big Breakfast at MacDonalds. On the way back it's either Burger King, Subway or KFC. A taste of home if you will. As for pricing, do not forget these are all franchises and most products sold must be shipped in. If shipping costs go up so goes their sell price. Maybe I'm wrong, but is a strong Baht not supposed to keep shipping prices down, or is it just capitalism rearing it's ugly head again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even basic things, like a whole cooked chicken About 120 baht, right? Same in my home country. But I'd be earning way more in my home country, and the chicken would be bigger! And if you buy it from a market, it is a chicken minus the wings (cos they sell the wings separate for like 15 baht each), lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elgenon Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 The cheapest basic burger went from 29 baht to 42. The good news is the ice cream cone went from 20 to 15. The 12 baht cone is better at DQ and KFC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabarin Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) We used to order once a week via McDonalds or Grab and recently noticed the price hike. It is always crappy food obviously but now really not worth the money anymore. It is that expensive it is cheaper to order foreign food from a restaurant instead. Thai solution is simple; only buy when there are promotions. Edited December 26, 2019 by tabarin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donmuang37 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 It's hard to believe people are whining about a 50 baht increase in the price of a cheeseburger. ???? I suggest they go back to their home country, get a real job and invest until they can afford to live here. ???????? But unfortunately for some they have been fired from all their jobs and their last resort is to teach in Thailand. ????☹ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
