Another macdonalds

[true blue]

Tha old kamari bar is now the latest macdonalds nimman goes upmarket.???

[elektrified]

Just what was was needed. Maybe they will erect another on the opposite side of the street directly across from this one. This seems to be a trend now. Has anyone else noticed the McDonald's and KFC's directly across from each other in the city? No need to get a little exercise walking across the street to get junk food now.

It's the only sure sign of transitioning to first world country is coming.

Next step, converting a sports facility into a McDonald's drive through.

It's a well known historical observation that the best location for anyone who wants to open a burger joint is next to MCD.  

And when i looked at the NimmanHaeman MCD spot a week ago i thought the place would be 2 floors, no drive thru.  Just like most MCDs in China.

Nah, it's a backwards step if ever there was one.

It's called clustering, the South Koreans use it to great effect in Seoul, people wanting fried chicken for example typically find five or six fried chicken places all side by side, that way the consumer can choose where to eat and only the best survive, it's Darwinism of the fast food world - if they did that here all the MCD's would be history very quickly,

Clustering of fast food restaurants?  Look here for more info:

why would they bother advertising with what they know to be their established customer base already?

[Bassosa]

What a shame. Will make a point of never eating there.

 

That Kam Rai joint was quirky, but nice. Never went there but liked it nonetheless.

[moe666]

Well the solution to Mickey Ds is donot go there

[JaseTheBass]

Worst burger ever made. Why anyone would buy one if them over all the other burgers in the area is beyond me.

[Bassosa]

Agreed.

 

Everyone should just go to Beast Burger instead.

McDonald's restaurants are found in 118 countries and territories around the world and serve 68 million customers each day. McDonald's operates 36,615 restaurants worldwide, employing more than 420,000 people.

 

Not bad for the worst burger ever made.  I wonder if that works for cars and hospitals too?

Absolutely right, the same thing with, get this... Mattress stores in the USA.

'Freakamomics'  excellent podcast even did a show about why it works that way.

There are king sized profits in beds, by the way.

Even Heston Blumenthal could not say McD sucks, but I'm not sure if that was just him erring on the side of diplomacy.

I do occasionally indulge, but, I don't like the weird aftertaste, it's sort of metallic, I dunno, weird.

Dukes is good because of all the extra gubbins, but I prefer Beast as the patty is better.

Cheers, I'll grab one and see... The patty really is what makes it all come together, kind of like Lebowskis rug.

97% of the menu is pretty bad but you can always get a decent cup of coffee at McD,s

[MrBrad]

Although it's not in Thailand, but could be with a minor change, here's another sign:

It's surprisingly on the pricey side, though.  A large cappuccino will set you back 120bt (though, to be fair, they do give you a cauldron of the stuff).;)

there's all manner of good cafes and coffee shops on nimmanhaemin. seems odd to go in a mcdonald's for one. go to ristr8to instead.

[CMX]

I looked at this new structure for an hour yesterday, as about 7 trucks and a score of linemen worked on power lines on Nimmen, and (auto) traffic was stopped.

 

I concluded, observing the nature of the locals walking there, that no neighborhood in northern Thailand was more deserving of their very own McDonald 'restaurant' - and I'm willing to bet that it will make money in huge amounts.  Falangville should be ecstatic.

An hour?

Sometimes you need some caffeine at 6:00am and can't wait another hour for Ristr8to to open (and you don't live that close to Nimman)- no argument on who serves up the superior cup of coffee, though.
