BANGKOK — Tim Hortons is coming to town: hunker down with a steaming cup of dark roast, a sausage bagel, and a vanilla donut (though in the Thai heat, rather than Ontario snow).


Toronto-based coffee-shop chain Tim Hortons, whose donuts have a cult following, is expanding to Thailand, the company announced Thursday.


“We are very excited to grow the Tims brand in Thailand as part of our broader global growth strategy,” said Tim Hortons President Alex Macedo in a news release. “Thailand has a thriving coffee market and our partner has a deep understanding of the Thai market, which we believe will position us well for success in the country.”

whose donuts have a cult following .........

...... of donuts no doubt.


and its not donuts, its doughnuts for fxcks sake.

That’s one chain I can’t see the appeal of.

Seems like just one more example of Canada never having an original idea.

Thanks for the warning.

I am sure boring boy will be over from his boring passages thread to comment on this being that he is a hoser.

The sausage bagel arouses some interest. What exactly is it?

You don't want to know. Sausage patties that taste even worse than they look ...

The original Starbucks bought their coffee from a roaster in Vancouver BC.


Doughnut Day was yesterday.

That looks promising. I simply adore these fast-food, processed breakfast confections onto which one dollops loads of ketchup. After an all-nighter when one has drunk deep from the well of plenty but fragility is the consequence, there is nothing better to induce satisfaction and repletion.

^You'll probably love the Beyond Meat "plant-based sausage" option too. Of course what's pictured above looks like it may already be beyond meat.

it looks like a ryanair breakfast.

Oh dear, pancakes or possibly a double whopper, but not sausage patties surely. Even with the worst Ricard, champagne, red wine, cognac hangover, that is stooping just a little too low.

How generous from the falangs that they enrich the poor Thai dishes with their healthy food.

After the McRib travesty? Hands off the bratwurst Ronald.

I hope their donuts are better than the inedible, chew toy like pastries that passes for donuts at Thai Dunkin Donut shops.

I like donuts every now and then, but the Thai version is just awful.

Heaps of Tim Hortons' in Dammam/Dhahran/Khobar. Shedloads of Krispee Kreme and Dunkin' franchises too. The Saudis love them sweet carbs. I don't eat doughnuts, but I buy coffee from these shops. Dunkin' coffee FTW.

Haven't you tried Krispy Kreme yet?

That Tim Hortons is owned by Burger King

crap food for a crap country, perfectly appropriate

Did somebody mention Basketball?

Conceived in Massachusetts.

Lacrosse meanwhile predates the creation of Canada.
