    By Pranot, Created on: 02/07/2009, Last updated on: 29/07/2009

    » Today Western fast food is popular because there are many branches of this food everywhere and it is comfortable to buy and eat them.

The transliteration is a little tricky, but I think I've deciphered your "nhow" as the Thai word you want to use to say you are feeling cold. When referring to objects (like french fries), or the temperature outside you need to say "yen" when you want to say "It's cold." Amazing that no one here has yet commented on the economics of fast food - the reason why companies like the one that owns the BP started getting into the business big time a few decades ago, and why fast food of all shapes and sizes has proliferated in Bangkok in a shocking way. Successful fast food franchisees make money at the expense of people's health and well being. A friend of mine commented that there is absolutely nothing you can buy to eat in a 7-11 that is not detrimental to your health. That's probably only a slight exaggeration. In a decade many countries in Asia will face all the same eating related health problems that exist in some Western ones.
