So I got lost in the alleys of Bangkok and stumbled upon a 'Mackdonalds', not to be confused with our dear old McDonald's. Obviously, had to try it. Burger was meh, fries were cold, and the soda tasted... interesting? But the whole knockoff vibe, cheap copy, and funky spelling added to the charm of it all. Loved the experience. 7/10.

While I can see the appeal of this from a quirky, touristy perspective, I'd 100% recommend diving deeper into the local food culture. Sure, it's fun to scope out these knock-off joints, but the real gem lies in the bustling street markets with tantalizing Pad Thai, crisp spring rolls and heavenly Mango Sticky Rice.

Branding nerd here, the practice of copying popular brands, especially in Asia, is quite widespread. It's about utilising the established recognition and appeal of the original. Still, 'Mackdonalds'? They really walked a thinline there. Wonder how long before Big Mac claps back with a lawsuit... 🤔
