Ulysses G. Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Wendys!!!! Give me Wendys!!!! We could get a Carl's Junior (which I prefer to the rest) They have them in Pattaya and Bangkok now. The only problem is that many of these places do not use the same quality of beef that they use in the US, so not nearly as good as back home. I really regret Popeye's Chicken folding in the 97 downturn. I really liked the New Orlean's style biscuits and side dishes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricardo Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I don't know, for me Burger-King somehow has the edge over McD's, possibly due to the quality of the salad-stuff or less salt on the fries ? OMG, it's another burger/chicken/food-thread, Way To Go ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) IMO, Burger King in Thailand is pretty much the same quality as McDonald's - they seem to both use the same lousy beef - and something like twice the price.I did prefer Burger King back in USA.

Tywais Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 . I really regret Popeye's Chicken folding in the 97 downturn. Always made a bee line to Popeye's around Sukhimvit 1 whenever in Bangkok and agree. Also agree about a Wendy's here. As for McD, probably once a year if BK is not convenient for me at the time.

villagefarang Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Seems like just yesterday they were opening their first shop in Amarin Plaza, Bangkok, with talk that they would never make a go of it in Thailand. So 165 you say, that is hard to believe. I must be getting old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really regret Popeye's Chicken folding in the 97 downturn. I really liked the New Orlean's style biscuits and side dishes. From what I understand, the opening of the Carl Jrs in BKK was delayed. They are not scheduled to open until Sept now. Also, there is a Popeye's in the domestic food area of BKK airport now. Not much help for us in Chiang Mai, unless you travel quite frequently. I would kill for an Arby's here. Or even just Spanky's being reopened! -Mestizo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
