Bunfight At The Chockchai Corral!

Chockchai beef burger with everything.

A road trip to Khao Yai is not complete without a stop at the Farm Chockchai theme park (look out for the Big Cow) to devour a delicious burger or two at their famous burger stand.

Sure, it's a bit corny with employees dressed in cowboy and cowgirl outfits but who cares when the burgers are this good. The super fresh Chockchai meat patties are cooked to perfection - for my taste buds anyway - and are high quality, juicy, tender and slightly smokey.

Served in a wheat bun filled with tomatoes, lettuce and the Chockchai special sauce, it's an unbeatable combination. When the ingredients are this good, it's best to keep the order simple and for me, a pork or beef burger, served with an extra order of onions is hard to beat.

They also serve a pricy wagyu beef offering to satisfy high-end burger junkies. But pound for pound, the Chockchai beef or pork burger is one of the best value-for-money meat and bun offerings in the 150-200 baht price range.

And good news for Bangkokians - there is now a Chockchai Burger stand in the Paragon Mall. It's located in the supermarket in the mall basement.

Also an honourable mention for the Dukes burger which gets a two-thumbs up rating from my pal Awi, who is a burger connoisseur.

And a dishonourable mention for the fish sandwich served at the Black Swan Pub. This 'back to basics' creation features a fried fish fillet in a fried bread roll with french fries - nothing else. Even mid-70s Elvis would have sent this heart stopper back to the kitchen.
