Popular Post rooster59 Posted October 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2020 Thai Airways fried donuts prove popular in Chiang Mai Praphorn Praphornkul CHIANG MAI (NNT) - After proving popular in Bangkok, THAI Catering has begun selling its fried donuts in Chiang Mai, attracting long lines of customers. THAI Catering staff said today they found it difficult to keep up with the demand in Chiang Mai as customers had begun lining up early in the morning to try the popular snack from the culinary arm of Thai Airways. The entire operation was moved from Bangkok to Chiang Mai to offer the fried donuts, with cooking pans and staff all brought up from the capital to Suthep Road across from the province’s Public Health Office. Selling from 6am, staff had three pans going with batches of donuts frying for five minutes a time. Waiting times were still no less than 20 minutes due to demand as many people bought 3-5 bags or even 10 bags to give out to their friends and family. Selling for 40 baht a bag, three pairs of donuts along with a condensed milk sauce are provided in each order. The operation has reported selling as many as 1,000 orders a day, and staff have urged buyers to arrive even earlier in the day, to avoid a long wait. -- © Copyright NNT 2020-10-18 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holy cow cm Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) Sounds only like a cheap cheap bargain deal, and fact is CM folk will always line up for anything like that as word travels quick up here. Not so long ago at the oldest Mall in CM, a movie theatre was selling really really really cheap popcorn (all flavors) to entice people to come to see movies there. This was basically after their beautiful remodeling to stir up awareness. Bummer thing is me and the family went to see a movie but could not get any snacks from them as the line was huge long and ridiculous. All people coming off the street and none seeing any movie. We consequently had to go down to the Supermarket to get a drink and snack to carry in to see the movie. So, if Thai Airways puts the price up to where all donuts are at, the fact probably is they wouldn't sell hardly any .

Popular Post HOAX Posted October 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2020 Looks like the traditional and simple Norwegian donuts, with or without glaze... that are sold for 3 baht in donut vendors. Actually these look a lot fluffier (filled with air to save cost), which makes them more similar to the traditional pastries literally called "the poorman's pastries" (fattigmann). They're getting ripped off if they pay 40baht for 3 plain donuts when they should get 10-15 for that price. Anyway, now back to actual news... 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know what you were getting at, I am not a befuddled retiree. ???? I felt the dinosaur amusement park worth a mention seeing as you mentioned dinosaurs and it was a very diverse and odd business to locate in the middle of Sukhumvit in downtown Bangkok. As thai Airways serving patongo in Chiang Mai is an oddity. The Dinosaur park also had maintenance issues with a fire on one of the rides, hope there's no similarities there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should flog off the aircraft, hire more chefs, extend the kitchens and get rid of 90% of the management... might actually make a profit out of the new business model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sydebolle Posted October 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2020 The country is falling apart, the national carrier has been looted over decades and nobody was ever taken to accounts and the only noteworthy news is that the latter now is doing a doughnut run in Chiang Mai. Are you kidding or everyone on seriously good weed ........ Anyhow, 40 Baht per bag, 1'000 bags a day, the total debt somewhere around 320 billion Thai Baht - how many centuries will it take to doughnut Thai Airways out of the doldrums? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
