    Mcdonald's is not cheap anywhere. It does happen to be even worse here.    On the other hand, there are far more places here I can spend 200-250 baht and get a great meal than anywhere I can

Many many of the same things are cheaper in the UK now. 

 

Street-food, hotels and Chinese junk off lazada, Seafood and Whisky on the table in a bar are a few of things which are cheaper in Thailand these days.....

 

 

...of course, there are probably a few more...i.e. comparing housing in Bangkok to London... but if comparing degree of civilisation (I wouldn’t want to live in Rural Thailand but would prefer to live in Rural UK) - I can get a larger house, with more land in the Rural Countryside in the UK than I can in Bangkok (I know, apples an oranges - but its a comparison of ‘costs I face’ between Thailand and the UK).

I think the price in the U.S. is now about $4. - 125 baht.  Add about 50 baht for medium fries and a drink.

Typical westerner in Thailand, McDonald's, Burger King, Pizza is a treat in Thailand same KFC if you ask me, plenty other Thai places do dog rolls and pizza stuff even better IMHO.

I always go to "Big Chee" ????

 

Stoped eating the "Macadonuts" ages ago, better to buy some burger buns,  minced pork/beef and make your own..do still buy the occasional pizza after the wife wins the lottery.

If I wanted a Big Mac, I would have a Big Mac.

 

If you have to let $5 decide whether or not you can have a Big Mac, that is a sad way to have to live.

I guess everybody has his own sets of rules to make a decision. Not a sad way at all. Just different compared to yours.

 

I assume any way living different compared to yours is sad way to live?

 

I find it sad way to live being so intolerant.

And your life is so filled with contentment you felt compelled to let everyone know that you think they 'really have nothing to with their lives' if they are commenting on such thread.... hmmmm....  :coffee1:

 

 

Isn’t it easier just to ignore threads you don't find interesting rather than repeatedly confirm the nature of your character ?
