Popular Post sqwakvfr Posted March 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2022 I have walked by the Kiwi Smash Burger located at 14 Nimman Soi 9 many times and never thought about going in. I rarely see anyone eating inside. Today I decided what the heck I'll give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised. The hamburgers are all named after major world cities. I tried the Los Angeles Cheeseburger and it was really good. The meat was high quality and best of all the burger bun was soft and spongy. The only other place that had burger buns like this was at In N Out burgers in the USA. Overall it was the best burger I have had in Chiang Mai(others will disagree). The downside was the cost. It was 349 Baht for the burger, fires(these were good as well) and a Coke. If you are like me and need a cheeseburger once in a while and don't the mind price then this give this place a try. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted March 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2022 Basically $10.40 USD for a Burger, Fries and a coke, not very cheap in actuality. A Burger, Fries and Coke here in BKK at Big Boys, a Classic Big Boy set is only 229 Baht. 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice lots of restaurants that serve western food have $8 to $12 ranges. I wonder if they price themselves out of business? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the rent ++++ etc for a shop in nimman but is why i always like the chefs that open street stalls to focus on their FOOD and not extra costs...no way would i pay 350 for a damn burger...Ive had a few around CM for under 100 and its enough to "curb the craving"....and i dont need fries or a sugar water coke....can get them elsewhere....try Rock Me burger on LK I used to cook for Rimping and made a meatloaf with roasted balsamic vegs and cut the beef with pork to make it affordable and added worchestershire to "beef" it up so u wouldnt know the difference and I was adamant about making comfort foods that ALL could afford..rimping liked to make the price way to high.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dingdongrb Posted March 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) Appears to be a lot of 'Cheap Charlies' living on measly savings if you can't afford a quality burger once in a while. To add, I had 169 THB dessert at Swensen's yesterday but I bet most of you prefer that 12 THB cone from DQ or KFC.

I don't think it's money keeping folks from paying 350 thb for a burger, sort of the principle of it. What I don't like about most burgers here are the buns, too large. The folks making the burger have no clue what makes a good burger. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paying any more than $6 US for a burger here is ridiculous. In Texas, where meat is first class, you can get a great cheeseburger for $5-$9, with fries. Here, its price gouging because some farangs will be dense enough to shell out the bucks. I've had burgers in various states in America, and the prices are the same. Some will pay $100 for a steak dinner, but that's also ridiculous as you can get a great steak dinner anywhere for under $20 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
