[hillbilly]

As past of the underworld of investigative reporting from TeakDoor, here is a look at what happens behind the counter at a McDonalds here in Thailand.


**Coming soon** Still in the lawyers office..

[Begbie]

Is that an alsatian ?

[MeMock]

looks like someone peeing in the orange juice to me.

[hillbilly]

We, well most of us have been to McDonalds. But hillbilly decided to go behind the counter and see what was happening in the fast food chain of McDonalds here in Thailand.


Do the workers get to eat all the hamburgers they want for free?
No, plus I don't think they really want to...

[NickA]

I ain't never been in McDonalds or KFC in Thailand, but I assume they are full of kids like this....



As far as I can see from the kids growing up in Bangkok today, the American (and other) fast food chains are doing a pretty good job of addicting spoilt Thai kids to all kinds of unhealthy foods.

[dirtydog]

Nicka's piccie.

[hillbilly]

Behind the counters. Notice the 'falang' looking for his fix.


Where do these fries come from.? New Zealand is the correct answer.

[hillbilly]

In one of the freezers.


And here is your fresh salad.

[hillbilly]

The burgers get cooked here with an automatic timer.


And the fresh catsup here...

[hillbilly]

The manager of course is always at the command desk.


Biggest secret of the century!! Here is where McDonald's money is kept. Shh...

[hillbilly]

Modern technology in the fast food industry.


A closer look.

[hillbilly]

The workers are always in a good mood.


Have prices changed that much? Damn, I am getting older.

Fast food joints doesn't make kids fat, bad parenting does. Be kinda like my fat Auntie Rose blaming the cutlery for her obesity.

[NickA]

^I agree, but I'd still say it was more a 50/50 thing.....it needs the bad parenting first, but the fatty unhealthy foods help it along

I mean there's plenty of bad parents up in Isaan, but I don't see many fat kids there (yet)

It may be that the "fat is good" attitude is still alive and well in Thailand....for boys at least

[daveboy]

Still nice though

[aging one]

If it was America all the employees would be Mexican or black.

^England is the same,more smelly students though!

[aging one]

[cali kid]

Mcdonolds in Thailand, America, Britian... whats the difference?

[breezer1]

Mcdonolds in Thailand, America, Britian... whats the difference?

Difference is most Mcds i have been to in the states are dirty and the burgers in thai are better than the uk

[stroller]

I think they use the tastier Buffalo meat for the Burgers here.

[RandomChances]

I'm quite partial to a double cheese burger now and again.

[cali kid]

I miss double quarter pounders so much, that is the best burger mcds makes, but the double cheeseburger isnt so bad. I must say that I cant see much difference between mcds here and in california, except that they do sem just a bit nicer here.

Probably because here there is a lower probability that some college dropout has wanked off in the 'special sauce'
