November 9, 201213 yr McDonalds Drive-Throughs are popping up everywhere it seems. I love them. I know many people hate the green pickers gherkin, but I reckon it is the best bit on a cheeseburger and Big Mac, Thai gherkins are saltier than German ones to me, that makes them tastier. The McThai Drive Through in Pattaya is great, where else in the world get you get such great good looking “company” to keep you warm on the sofa that your friends are envy of back home and a Big Mac with Cheese at the same time ??? Amazing Pattaya – that is where. The Drive through with the "works" !!!!!
November 11, 201213 yr Author We are so lucky with cheap McDonalds in Thailand. Interesting cost compassion. KFC Thai prices are almost the same as western prices though, Shame on you KFC. A WEAK currency, despite its appeal to exporters and politicians, is no free lunch. But it can provide a cheap one. In China, for example, a McDonald's Big Mac costs just 14.5 yuan on average in Beijing and Shenzhen, the equivalent of $2.18 at market exchange rates. In America, in contrast, the same burger averages $3.71. Source
November 11, 201213 yr No drive through liquor shops yet though.... Is Australia the only country to have them?
November 11, 201213 yr In Bangkok, the only drive-through I've been to is on Rama 4, intersection of Sukhumvit 22/24. Are there others? I haven't seen one outside BKK, though I'm not a frequent visitor.
November 11, 201213 yr No drive through liquor shops yet though.... Is Australia the only country to have them? We have them in Texas... they pretty much have them here but they are simply curbside pickup for all of those wholesale liquor and beer places. I'm sure they'll sell to you @retail if they understand what you're saying.
November 11, 201213 yr No drive through liquor shops yet though.... Is Australia the only country to have them? Even better is ring the mom and pop store and they deliver.

November 11, 201213 yr Author There are apparently 37 Drive Thru McDonalds in LOS. BKK, Pattaya have many, Ayathaya, Korat. The Nation newspaper has a current story. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/business/McDonalds-banks-on-breakfast-sales-looks-to-20-gro-30192146.html
November 11, 201213 yr Well I suppose if you are going to bloat out on that stuff you might as well as well also avoid the effort of having to actually walk into the place.

I haven't seen one outside BKK, though I'm not a frequent visitor. There's one on the bang na trat about 5 km ????? past central bang na going out the city in a petrol station. Does the one at Nana soi 4 have drive through in the petrol,station ?

You can get a McDouble, which is a Double Cheeseburger but with only 1 slice of cheese, for only 30 B in the US. In Thailand that only gets you a wimpy single patty hamburger, no cheese! Double Cheeseburger US is $1.29, in Thailand almost $3. McChicken in the US is 30 B, in Thailand 71 B! They don't even have quarter pounders here but I know they'd be a lot more expensive too.
