It certainly isn't healthy for you but I wouldn't put it in the same category as other fast food burger places

 

Much better

 

 

But I don't know how all these burger places that charge 250-300 baht survive

 

I mentioned previous that Burger King seems to be expanding into local markets and BK is expensive!

Good burgers, great shakes, but the fries suck. Wouldn't mind trying the Thai inspired lemonade.

This was my point

 

And I can't imagine Shake Shack having a huge distribution chain in Asia

 

So they will be even more expensive 

 

That's why Burger King is so much more expensive than McDonald's is Asia

Because of their much smaller distribution chain

 

 

I didn't care because I was hungover on the airport 

 

But I got a Bacon Double Cheeseburger and a Coke at BK in BKK Airport and UT came to around $14cad!!
