Who goes to fast food restaurant in Khon Kaen?

            


              Who goes to fast food restaurant in Khon Kaen?






Nowadays, fast food restaurant are very popular all around the world especially in western countries. It is also well-liked in Asian countries like Thailand. They are located in many parts of Thailand but I would like to focus in Khon Kaen province. In Khon Kaen, as there are two main types of people that  like to go to fast food restaurants for purposes such as for fun, family time, new experience, etc., I would like to divide them in to 2 big groups that relate to their purpose as follows:
1. Families with young children

2. Teenagers





Firstly, at fast food restaurants like KFC you might see a playhouse corner for the kids.  Why do they have a playhouse at a fast food restaurant? To attract families and young children. They also frequently have promotion focused on kids and usually involve the kids’ corner at their restaurant.  Not only that, you frequently see the poster or a bunch of pictures in Khon Kaen fast food restaurants about a birthday party, as many kids and family and restaurant’s staff join each other for the large celebrations. Furthermore, they also have Chicky school tour to do the activities with the kids at school.[1]



Secondly, today the amount of Khon Kaen teenagers who go to fast food restaurant is quite high. As they think that to go to fast food restaurant is something very styling or fashionable. They do not even go there because of the taste, and certainly not for the nutrition, but they just go there to show other people that “I’m cool to have a chance to eat here.”
               
As the above information describes, we can see that the customer in western countries and Thailand has a different purpose to go fast food restaurant. For those in western cultures, they go there because it is cheaper than to go to the real restaurant but for Khon Kaen people they go for other purposes even though they know that it is quite expensive for the average Thai income and has little nutrition for their health.

Is fast food in Khon Kaen easy to buy?



Second draft





              Fast food restaurant is the food service that can be served quickly. The consumer can be sitting in the restaurant or can be taken away. Fast food restaurants started in the United States and now it’s well- known in Thailand such as McDonald, Subway, KFC, Burger king, Pizza hut, etc. The main purposes of fast food are fast, in time and easy to buy. Now, I am focusing on the fast food restaurant location in Khon kaen is it easy to buy as their aims? I have two big remarkable main points.

             Firstly, fast food restaurants in Khon Kaen are located in convenient store as Big c,  Lotus and the famous plaza as Central plaza and Fairy plaza. These are quite big area and the car park is far from the fast food restaurant. The consumers have to park their car before the purchase food. It may spend time more than buy food from others. Lastly, fast food in Thailand is quite famous, you often saw many consumers stand in queue for buying fast food. It may not fast anymore.

             If you have much time for parking your car, walking into plaza and standing in queue, is it better to spend your value time to do that for other food that has much more nutrition than fast food. You can choose the best thing for you and remind that something named fast may not fast as its name.

The real benefit of dining junk food in Khon Kaen.

Second draft


                 Nowadays, Thai social base has extremely changed because it becomes competition. The information sends to the customer faster than before, until they don’t know that the information which sends to them is reliable or not. No one can prove that.
                 The daily life and behavior of urban citizens has change that makes them have to rely on the instant meal and fast food, which most of them is the Western food. The instant meal and fast food are selling in many supermarkets so it is easy, convenient, delicious, inexpensive, and fast. So it is popular among people in downtown who facing with rush hours in every time.  

               Junk foods such as hamburger, hot-dog, potato ship, cookies, pizza, French fries, soft drink , etc. are the one kinds of fast food that sell in many supermarkets especially in Thailand that is the new trend among the people because it is delicious and modern. Accordingly people usually consume the junk foods particularly in teenagers and working age. However no one knows what ingredients those use to produce and what nutrients are from the junk food.

Accordingly people usually consume the junk foods particularly in teenagers and working age. However no one knows what ingredients those use to produce and what nutrients are from the junk food. 
              The most cooking process of junk food is fried. Many junk foods are produced with fried in the hot oil, such as potatoes ship, hamburger, fried chicken, Doughnut, and French fries. It is always fried a high temperature oil, so it has some toxic named Acrylimides, which is cause of cancer and nerve problems.1



                All junk food has no vitamin and rehydration salts or minerals.  This nutrient is always assembling in fruits and vegetables, but there are few in junk food. Accordingly, consumed junk food for a long time, it will risk to lack of vitamin and mineral and cause of many problems such as activate the free radical that is cause of wrinkle skin and metabolism problem.
               Moreover, the processing always uses the chemicals, for example firstly, they always use the preservative to keep long-lasting food in the fridge for selling to another days and the ingredients that use to make them are also such as special sauce, cheese, beef and etc. have multiple additives to keep them fresher longer.2 secondly, the junk food always see in many bright colors, such as a soft drink, an Ice cream ,etc. they also add chemical coloring such as shellac to make them more colorful and appetizing.3 And thirdly, they always add some monosodium glutamate to make the food more tasty. All of mentioned chemicals are definitely harm for customer’s health because it will be stored in our body and harm for any body systems.
               All of the ingredients and processing are made for people who have been in a rush hour, no time to dine food themselves. The ingredient to make junk food has no nutrition and high cholesterol. The chemicals always use to make the food for appetizing flavor.  The processing of junk food always uses chemical to make the food more tasty and long-lasting.  Even though junk food is harm for the customer’s health and cause of many diseases, people always choose them, because it is the easiest way to dine a breakfast, convenient and fast.
