ChiangMaiThai Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I was in Subway at the bottom of Nana station the other day. Great job George. Staff were friendly. Food was good. And it was a welcome break on the long and arduous journey between Soi 7 and Soi 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldAsiaHand Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Stickman took a lot of grief when he waxed lyrical over the opening of this place, but you're both dead right about it. I know it's only a sandwich shop, for God's sake, but they do what they do well, and they make a real effort to see that the customers are happy and get good value. Whoever is running Subway in Thailand has done a damned good job of training his staff to be less Thai and more Western about the way they serve customers, which is only fitting in a Western food joint. He deserves to have that noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one in Bangers last week, near the Emporium , do like that meat ball one Bronco! In Phuket we have McDonalds, Pizza Company and used to have a Burger King in town, but that vanished - if you want Burger King, you have to drive all the way to the airport as there is a new one in there.

Wolfie Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 In Phuket we have McDonalds, Pizza Company and used to have a Burger King in town, but that vanished - if you want Burger King, you have to drive all the way to the airport as there is a new one in there. We have a Burger King??? Man i might have to go take a drive upto the airport!!! What Phuket really needs is one of those back street Kabab shops run by a couple greeks that stays open until 4/5am, like we used to get back home... Buy a "compass" kabab and let it lead you home after a hard nights drinking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Chalong (across the road from the police station) there is a kebab type place, not to bad either - but not exactly what we are all looking for.

The kabab place you talk of is just down the road from me, problem is they are not open at 4am (the time you NEED a kabab) theres no processed meat and quite frankly they are somewhat below par! Right then, time to employ a couple of greek layabouts (no offence meant to the general greek populace) and open a proper compass kabab shop that doesnt open until midnight... I should make a killing with that idea, i wonder if i could afford an "elite" card by this time next year??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProThaiExpat Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 I was at the one in Pattaya on one of its first days and it was very culturally interesting. I was with a Thai and preceeded down the line. Knowing what to do, I followed my sandwich and got it right. My Thai friend placed the order and then went away to a table so "staff" could make it. Well, all confusion broke loose, and the on scene manager/trainer started to blame the Thai girl for mixing up the order with another customer who started in the middle of the line, etc. etc. etc. I was joking with the manager afterwards and suggested that he set up signing so he could train the "customers" to follow their sandwiches during preparation so the condiments could be added as desired. I suggested it was hopless to expect his Thai staff to discipline the farang customers to stay in line, tell them what to put on their sandwich, etc. In time, even Thais will learn how to order and have prepared a Subway sandwich. Something we don't even think about when we have that experience. I must admit some responsibility for not realizing, in advance, a Thai in a Subway for th first is bound to not get it right.

medicinebox Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 On about fast food, what happened to Chicken treat. The one in Pattaya dissapeared well before the bird flu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuketrichard Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Patong had a kebab place on soi Bangla. On the right hand side near the end. also last time there was also one outside Ocean on Bangla. I want to see a Subway at the new Central and have no ideas why they don't put on in the new Junk ceylon in Patong. Would be one of the few things I would invest in here. Defintely one of america's best sellers. Next lets have a Taco Bell!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sick Boy Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 I used to assume that Kentucky Fried Chicken had been changed to just KFC to make it easier on our Thai brethren. I believe now that it was a more sinister move. The ol' colonel ran into problems with trade discription and various lawsuits were pending because the stufff they cook up can not be legally described as chicken anymore. Hence KFC. I'm not sure what the "C" stands for now. Maybe "Creature" or "Crap". Anyway, certainly tastes like <deleted>. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash999 Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 All we need now is a Wendy's! Definitely the best of the burger trio. Heard that there was a Wendy's in MBK ages ago but it didn't do so well. Perhaps with Subway's successful return a Wendy's could also come back. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
