Fast Food Restaurants in Thailand
I really like to eat fast food because it's quick, I don't have to wait long time. I like to eat Burger King, my favourite burger is Double Cheese Burger with Becon. The French Fries there are really good, not the same as KFC which is very dry but I think the Fries at McDonalds is best.
Lots of teenagers in Thailand like to eat at a fast food restaurant becasue now it has become fashionable for Thai teenagers. When Thai boys go out with their girlfriend, they always go to fast food restaurant because it is expensive and she will be impress. Older Thai people call fast food "junk food", Thai peole say that they just put a piece of meat and vegetable in the roll which is not that useful for the body. They said Thai food has more nutrition.
I took the following prices from three popular fast food restaurants: KFC, McDonalds and Burger King. I did this at the end of January 2001. You can compare the prices with your own country ($1 = 42 baht) or see how the menu varies.

Answer: Most fast food restaurants in Thailand (including Pizza Hut) have changed their menu because of what the Thai people like to eat. We don't like beef so much, but we do like chicken and fish.
