LOL...All of American life (except Native Americans..(Guess would have caught this)... first came from Europe...it did not descend out of the sky from some alien spaceship. I think the Earl of Sandwich invented the sandwich. In turn, the Hamburger I am sure has something to do with Hamburg or the Burgermeister of somewhere? No worries Michael, I'm sure a good German restaurant will be opening up at a Thai resort near you. Perhaps Saurbratten and gaduffleglades with spinach dumpling soup...the recipe died with my Gandmother, but I was raised on that stuff and my mouth waters as we speak.

As far as Subway is concerned ( that is MRT, MTR or Underground to those not familiar..)...you really have to walk them through the process as they don't have the culinary skill yet to make a good BMT the way it should be. The BMT is the Italian sub and the best IMHO. Train them quick or all will be lost concerning what is a "good" sub. Pete

Dear prcscct,

thank you for the story you wrote. It is not about what, it is where and I supposed you like to stay in thailand for its different to the Wild Wild West.
I like to eat thaifood in thailand and I can live without Subway, McD or one of the other.

That's easy for you to say as long as you can eat your daily bratwurst und sauerkraut. If you live here it's good to eat common farang food as well!!
I eat thaifood 5 times pr week, but I insist on european food twice a week.
All newcomers are heartly welcome if they can provide us with a change of menu.
Michael ; no offence-

[ting-tong]

I agree with Norseman.You stay in Thailand for a long time its good with some farang food now and then.
I think its mostly the farangs themself that complain about farang restaurants opening.They want the real Thailand.
The Thais that i know dont seem to mind at all.

Well written. Short and pithy but true.

When I going to abroad I want eat to local food. I can eat my homeland example Subway, McD..

But maybe this good thing farang which live in Thailand. Bon Apetit!

Does the opening of Subway prevent people from eating Thai food?
Someone please enlighten me on this.

[duan]

I cannot find the location of Subway on the HHAD map. Could someone please tell me where it is?
Thanks

Guys, Bratwurst and Sauerkraut for a "kraut" from germany is not the same as the fastfood from the states. I dont visit subway or one of the other burger houses in germany and so I dont do it in thailand. It is not about the native food of any country, it is the aversion against the fast food style that let the world look same.

A few points here:

1) Its not on the map yet, but its located almost opposite Burger King in the new complex there.

2) The majority of the patrons in these western fast food places are Thai.

3) A lot of you seem to forget that some of us live here permanently so enjoy our fixes of western fast food from time to time. Yes, if I were only here for two weeks I would probably avoid it too.

Ahaa. And Subway is in that case near City Beach hotel.

If you want 'The Real Thailand' head up to Tak, Kamphaeng Phet or some other 'real' place. Stay in an outlying village, get up at 2 am to go to the local market, buy food-stuff that smells like it shouldn't be eaten, then back to bed for a couple of hours before you spend the morning planting rice (catching frogs for lunch as you go) then get pissed on lao kao and sleep on a bamboo platform for another couple of hours before getting back to the field. Spend what's left of the afternoon drinking lao kao and having 'sanook' with friends (in fluent local dialect of course) having been to the abattoir to get the raw ingredients for larb, your evening meal, which you eat a variant of most of the time:

Then have a cold shower from a mosquito filled tank in a sweaty concrete out house and go to bed when the sun goes down at 6:30 pm like everyone else does because there is nothing else to do, although if you are lucky you might be able to watch some Likay on TV before dozing off on the teak-hard wooden floor where you will spend the night. Do this for the whole two weeks of your holiday and see if you can keep smiling for as long as the locals do.

Subways, McD's, Burger King, Hilton, Svensens, Kodak, Ten Pin Bowling, Go-karts, Cineplex, Farang owned bars, imported beer, Italian restaurants, British Butchers, English Breakfast, Steak and Kidney Pies, comfy furniture, milk and cheese, wine merchants, cleaner beaches, BBC news, UBC sports. BRING IT ALL ON!!!!! I WANT MORE, MORE, MORE!!!!


Newsflash: Hua Hin is a TOURIST TOWN - Get with the programme!

I don't like Mc D's or Burger King etc., either. I think Subway is a few levels above those places in terms of quality and selection. Usually, you have four choices of bread and you can design something that is vegetarian/low carb, right up to something monstrous that would put your doctor into shock if he knew you were eating it. I would say Subway is more like a deli, given your choices of how your sandwich is made, than a fast food place. But..to each his own. Pete

A little sentence for me - a big matter for the world.

This is why I like these forum so much.
