McDonald's it is set up to be self serve. You place your own order, you return your own tray. You leave no tip. The same as self sevice gas stations. That keeps the price low.  In other restaurants where you are served and leave a tip it is totally different. Of course in McDonald's you get the occasional person that thinks they should get cleaned up after for  the whole 100 baht they paid for their meal.  Thai's would think different with the class system but I would never take lessons in etiquette from a Thai anyway. My Thai wife has more class than 99% of Thai people and would never dream of leaving her trash for others to clean in a fast food restaurant. Have some class and clean up after yourself.

Web site works perfect and fast for me. Sounds like the slow web site problem is on your end.

There is nothing 'cheap' about Steve's pies - apart from the price. Equally, Staffords pies are excellent value at the price I pay.


Yesterday I cooked  Minced Beef & Onion pies from both suppliers to make a direct, side-by-side, comparison. The Buriram Pie looked slightly bigger and was very juicy. The Staffords Pie was dry by comparison and needs gravy - difficult to eat on it's own as a snack. However, the taste was very good and had slightly larger mince and more onion than the Buriram Pie. In terms of taste the Buriram pies was a little 'sweeter' whilst the Staffords pie had a more 'beefier' taste.

My conclusion  - we are fortunate to have such a good choice locally. Frankly, both pies are superior to pies I have bought from Pattaya - only the Sportsmans pies come close to Staffords.

Good assessment!

I have had many a Staffords and Buriram Pie Man's products and both are good quality and value. The difference in the products are minimal. I have met as many people that like one as much as the other. The difference is pretty much "splitting hairs". We are lucky to have both of these fine companies in the area to buy from. Both provide excellent service. I would suggest trying both and decide for yourself.
