phetaroi Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 After 7 months of living here, I finally stopped at a Subway for a sandwich (the one at Paragon). As usual back home I ordered the Subway Melt. Imagine my surprise when the bacon they put in the sandwich is totally uncooked!!!!!
Michaelaway Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Geez! Here I was thinking that it was only the Subway in Pattaya... THAT SUCKS!!!!!
wordchild Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 tried the sukhumvit (bangkok) branch for a quickie lunch a few months ago,complete muck inside dreadful bread, never will i enter one of their places again.

There are thousands of delis in America that serve real cold cuts and salads. Not processed meats and produce rejects. Even Quiznos is better than Subway!

lanny Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 I regularly order a sandwich from Subway on Silom. Nearly always the club. Their meat and other contents always seem fresh and tasty and I love the fresh baked bread. Can't remember when I last ordered the subway melt, though.
Jonathanpattaya Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 It's only a sandwich for heavens sake! I am no Chef de Cuisine but, make my own rather than pay for these over-priced disappointments.
popshirt Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Want a good sandwich...go to Au Bon pain I second that! Their Arizona chicken sandwich is delicious, no skin and no fat, and with jalapenos...........yummmmm! Next best thing about Au Bon Pain is the consistency and quality of their food, unusual for Thailand.

Not processed meats and produce rejects. Even Quiznos is better than Subway! "Real" delis sometimes have incredibly fatty beef...nothing better than a good roast beef sandwich. Yes, Quiznos is better than Subway, but yes, none here that I know of. I do kind of miss an occasional really good sandwich.
phetaroi Posted December 10, 2009 Author Posted December 10, 2009 Want a good sandwich...go to Au Bon pain Oddly enough, I've never been, but it was on my list of things to do soon.
phetaroi Posted December 10, 2009 Author Posted December 10, 2009 It's only a sandwich for heavens sake!I am no Chef de Cuisine but, make my own rather than pay for these over-priced disappointments. Well, for heavens sake, I don't want to go out and buy 3 kinds of cold cuts, bacon, and bread for just one sandwich. And, if I'm out an about I don't want to run to the market and run home just to eat.
PaulDee Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Subway's meatball sandwich works for me. Consistently delicious in Bkk and Pattaya. Haven't found it at any other restaurants/delis.
MrWiggle Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Did not think this kind of thing was allowed on here. Has there been a mutiny ?
DP25 Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Subway's meatball sandwich works for me. Consistently delicious in Bkk and Pattaya. Haven't found it at any other restaurants/delis. I like the meatball sub too. The meatballs seem smaller than in the US though.
JR Texas Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Want a good sandwich...go to Au Bon pain Want a good sandwich go to FatBoy's in Cambodia:
tomwct Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Is Fatboy's in Pnom Phen or do they have many locations in Cambodia??? Looks good!!!

And, if I'm out an about I don't want to run to the market and run home just to eat. That's the problem, not only do you have to stock several different fillings but the bread is only fresh they day you buy it. Unless, that is, you take to freezing individual packs of bread and main fillings but then is all that hassle really worth it? Never tried Subway, and won't now, but can recommend Au Bon Pain.
PoorSucker Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Eating today's special (69 baht) here on Samui right now. Excellent tuna sandwich.
JR Texas Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Is Fatboy's in Pnom Phen or do they have many locations in Cambodia??? Looks good!!! Only in PP (heard they planned on expanding elsewhere): check this out http://www.fatboysubs.com/

One thing the French did was teach the people to make good bread. Much better than anything here in Thailand.
phetaroi Posted December 11, 2009 Author Posted December 11, 2009 As several recommended, I tried Au Bon Pain tonight. Had the roast beef sandwich. Not the best I ever had, but darned good!
