I think that it says just the first 1,000 people. No doubt, either it does not apply to Chiang Mai or I will be 1,001. I have to admit that I really like Egg McMuffins, but try not to eat them too often.

Agreed. If you get the canadian bacon instead of the sausage, its one of the better things on their horrible menu. Period.

Its a little bread, some meat thats not too bad for you, and some fake cheese, thats, um, fake. Fake cheese aside, not too bad.

All things in moderation.....

I went there last year, early morning, to this event and the girl said, "mai mee".

I'm pretty sure she just replied to a question: Khun mee friend, mai khrap? As I always ask them and they always answer Mau mee, ka.

I don't mind fake cheese on burgers, grilled cheese sandwiches, macaroni and cheese, hot dogs or cheesesteak sandwiches. That is traditional. A soufflé, fondue or a Croque-Monsieur is a different story.

Agreed. I was just covering my bases unless someone assailed a little slice of cheese.

One thing I like about one of the best restaurants in Chiang Mai is that the owner and head cook serves all kinds of unusual and gourmet foods and really excellent baked goods, but he also likes McDonald's every once in while. Nothing pretentious about that guy. wink.png

I don't pretend to hate McCrap.

They are honoring this deal in Chiang Mai. However, the line is out the door and very slow. I will pay for a bagel with cream cheese elsewhere.

Wow you actually have a shop serving bagels and smears there in CM, lucky you! I'm still waiting for Noah's, Brother's, or anyone to open a bagel chain in Thailand!

Agreed...sometimes McDonald's is just the thing. But I liked the breakfast sandwiches better when they were served on biscuits... The English muffins are often very dry.

I must have missed that. When I lived in America they were on English muffins and they only started serving breakfasts in McDonald's in Thailand a few years ago. Maybe it happened in between.

I REALLY miss good buttermilk biscuits. Popeye's in Bangkok had them back in 1997, but they shut down when the baht went crazy. I know there is one somewhere in Thailand that opened up fairly recently, but it is nowhere near me.

We have a few places in Chiang Mai with decent bagels. My current favorite is the Bagel Cafe in the old city, partially because the girls that work there are so cute nice.

I think it's been at least 4-5 years now. Anyway, sometimes not bad and convenient. The scrambled egg breakfast is good too and the hash browns you won't at any Thai place. With the McCafes, one can even get a good coffee with one's breakfast.

Pattaya is a real bagel desert. I don't know of any bagel shops per se...just the ones at Au Bon Pain (do like those double-cheese jalapeños however).

I just wish that McDonald's in Thailand had pancakes, like everywhere else. I always looked forward to their breakfasts in more expensive countries as they are tasty enough and quite reasonable. In Chiang Mai, I can usually do better, because I know all the restaurants, but a McMuffin does go down well every once in a while.

      Road Safety in Thailand – a summary of Perceptions and Reality

      .. every time road safety is discussed it is inevitable that someone will use the term “common sense”… it is a classic misconception The claim that "almost all safe driving habits come from common sense" is fundamentally flawed because common sense is not universal—it is shaped by culture, environment, education, and experience. What seems like "common sense" to one group may be completely foreign to another, and this is especially evident when comparing driving habits in different countries. “Common Sense" is highly cultural, not universal; driving norms differ dramatically between countries, even when road rules appear similar. What seems like "common sense" to a Western driver—such as strictly following lane discipline, using indicators, or stopping for pedestrians—might not be seen as obvious or necessary in Thailand, where traffic flows in a more flexible, intuitive way. (see my post about rivers in Thai culture) In some cultures, aggressive defensive driving is considered "smart", while in others, politeness and deference are prioritized over strict rule-following. Most people couldn’t even give a definition of defensive driving at home (I hear a big rush to Google??) In Thailand, it is "common sense" for motorcycles to weave through traffic and for cars to expect it. In the US, this is seen as reckless and illegal in most places. Safe driving Is a learned skill, not innate "Common Sense" – as I said most people don’t realise the extent to which they are cosstted by their home countries’ safe systems. Safe driving must be taught and reinforced through training, law enforcement, and public awareness campaigns not by constantly blaming inherently “bad drivers” If road safety was simply "common sense," why would road deaths vary drastically between countries with similar vehicles and infrastructure? Or are you going to make another racist assertion about Thai drivers? Road safety systems and traffic rules exist precisely because humans do not naturally drive safely. For example, seatbelt laws exist because studies show that people don’t naturally wear seatbelts unless conditioned to do so. If it were "common sense," enforcement wouldn't be necessary. Common sense fails when foreigners apply their “home” common sense to unfamiliar road systems Foreigners driving in Thailand often struggle not because they lack intelligence, but because Thai road behaviour contradicts their "common sense" expectations. For instance in Thailand, Merging often happens with different right-of-way rules. (v. priority on the left rule) Many intersections appear to rely on mutual awareness rather than strict signalling but Thai priority rules apply and tinted windows don’t help. (v. Kreng Jai and non-confrontation).Motorcycles behave differently than in Western countries, acting as part of a "fluid traffic ecosystem" rather than strictly following car-like rules. If you want to understand traffic flow in Thailand then you need to understand the rules of traffic on rivers) Western drivers assume cars will stop at red lights because it's "common sense"—but in some areas of Thailand, it's common for motorcycles and even cars to proceed if the road is clear.the fliter left rule is seldom understood by foreign drivers as they can’t read te signs. If safe D driving were common sense,Thailand (and Other Countries) Would Have Low Accident Rates? The fact that Thailand has one of the highest road fatality rates in the world suggests that safe driving is not automatic or obvious.Road safety improves in places where it is taught, reinforced, and enforced—not where it's assumed to be "common sense." Back to the “safe System” - Sweden has one of the lowest road fatality rates because they invest heavily in road safety programs, not because Swedes have more "common sense" than Thais or Americans. Safe roads come don’t come from common sense they come from the 5 Es mentioned before – which have to be adopted in TOTAL

      Trump keen to blame diversity and inclusion for Washington DC crash

      The guy that lied to Congress about not funding gain of function at Wuhan? That guy? Riddle me this - if I set fire to a dumpster and the fire spread burning down all the houses in the area, was that my fault? Or can I just say - "sorry about that, I was just wanting to see the dumpster burn?" https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10234839/ chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.congress.gov/117/meeting/house/114270/documents/HHRG-117-GO24-20211201-SD004.pdf

      Wake Up! - EVs Are Here, and Your Gas Guzzler is on Life Support

      I am not pro or anti EV either, although I have been labeled as a hater by some of the more fervent EV supporters. I have no problem in accepting EV's have considerable advantages in performance and fuel costs, whether it's at a public charger or home. Having solar is icing on the cake. The only time I have had real range anxiety was when I traveled between Nymagee and Cobar (77 km ) in a Ford with a 4 litre engine that consumed petrol like an alcoholic with free booze, and the tank was showing a quarter full. No aircon, and 40 C heat. I probably got there on tank fumes.
