McDonalds was going to be in The Mall they were planning out on Sikoraphum road about 4 kilometres from Robinsons but the land they wanted to buy from locals was totally over the top priced. The owners wanted gold for horseshit. So I am told The Mall is now off at this stage. Absolute greed killed the project. Damn shame as would have been great for our beauty spa just out a bit further. Not to mention it would have been good to eat some edible plastic occasionally.

How much tax did they pay ???? Just like.
Facebook paid £4,327 corporation tax in 2014
I bet there are retired folk from the UK here that paid more tax then that.

According to Howard Shultz, SBUX paid USD 319,000,000 in Quarterly taxes on a Quarterly Profit of $ 1,535,000,000 for the Quarter ending 28 June 2015.
SBUX had a total quarterly revenue of USD 4,881,000,000 during that Quarterly period prior to any operating expenses.
Note: Unbelievable on the FaceBook tax situation.
I'm not aware as to how they pulled that off. Possibly Vanessa Chan at FB would be starting point to make an inquiry. (Not my fight at present.)

That may be the case in the US but not the rest of the world, where they operate.

The big corporations are being reigned to pay the piper, as the rest of us plebs do.
Starbuks UK paid tax for the first time ever this year. Under threat of investigation.

Do you think every Corporation in the world pays income taxes on where they sell products or services...or do most pay taxes as to where they are headquartered (accounting set-up) ?
Every wonder why the registry of ships is never in a country where the majority of their {taxable} shipping operations take place. Panama, Liberia , the Marshall Islands, Malta and Cyprus now account for 50% of the world fleet.
I'm not stating that's it is right, just the facts.
Question: Do Airbus and Boeing pay a portion of their taxes on profits to the countries where the majority of their aircraft are purchased and delivered by national airlines ?
Answer: No , of course not.

Hong Thong is not good for you but I doubt you restrict yourself to one a day
According to the FDA, 400 mg per day of caffeine (that's about four cups of coffee) is a safe amount of caffeine for healthy adults. But too much caffeine—500 to 600 mg—can be dangerous, causing restlessness, tremors, irritability, insomnia and stomach upset.Aug 21, 2014

6 Surprising Health Benefits of Coffee
by James DeMedeiros
Editor's Picks
It's National Coffee Day In celebration, 5 ways black coffee helps you crush a workout.
The Caffeine Fix Why coffee is one of the best health drinks out there.
Do you smell it? Can you taste it? For some people, that unmistakable smell and delectable taste are the main reasons to pry themselves out of bed each morning. What is it? It’s the eye-opening and mouth-watering beverage that’s consumed by an estimated 100 million Americans on a daily basis and it comes from a simple bean – coffee. But, aside from the caffeinated beverage’s eye-opening abilities and addictive flavor, there are many other hidden benefits and we’ve compiled a list of arguably the six best reasons you should be consuming coffee.
Mental Note
Is there anything sadder than seeing an aging loved one drastically losing their mental sharpness? You may be powerless to prevent it, but, according to a recent study, coffee may be able to help you from falling into the same trap. Researchers discovered that participants who drank three to five cups of coffee per day had about a 65% decreased chance of developing Alzheimer’s disease or dementia later on in life. To ensure you’re always drinking enough coffee, make it a point of always consuming coffee with your meals.
Cardiovascular Protection
Anybody who’s serious about health knows the importance of a healthy cardiovascular system. What they may not know is that by simply drinking one or two cups of coffee per day they could have a significantly reduced risk of cardiovascular disease-related death. According to a Japanese study of more than 76,000 participants, men consuming one to two cups of coffee daily reduced their risk of dying from a cardiovascular disease by as much as 38%. Of course, this still doesn’t excuse you from cardio exercises.
Risk Aversion
Want to lower your risk of death? A National Institutes of Health – AARP Diet and Health study of more than 400,000 people revealed that drinking coffee might be the answer. Between 1995 and 2008, male participants drinking even just one daily cup reduced their risk of death by 6%. Drinking either two to three cups or six or more cups reduced the risk by 10% during the timeframe of the study. The greatest reduction of death risk was 12% in the group drinking four to five cups. Know your limit: five cups.
Diabetes Defense
An alarming 11.8% of American men over the age of 20 have diabetes. Needless to say, it’s a growing concern and one receiving a great deal of attention in the medical community. Between 1986 and 1998 Harvard researchers tracked the coffee consumption and occurrence of type-2 diabetes of more than 40,000 men. They discovered that long-term coffee drinkers had a significantly reduced risk of developing type-2 diabetes and statistics indicated the risk decreased the more they drank. Just remember to limit your sugar!
Pain Reduction
Are you in pain during the course of a typical workday? It’s not that unusual. But, what is surprising is the degree to which many people feel rejuvenated following a coffee break and there may be a reason why. Norwegian researchers observed 48 people performing office work and found that those who consumed coffee only declared a pain-intensity level of 41, whereas participants who didn’t drink any coffee reported having a score of 55. If this study is any indication, you might want to take your coffee breaks literally.
Weight Loss
When you think of coffee, you usually think of the beverage. However, if your focus is weight loss, green coffee extract could be an effective aid. Following a 22-week study of 16 overweight adults, researchers discovered that participants given green coffee bean extract had undergone significant weight loss with 37.5% of them transitioning from being at a pre-obesity weight to a normal weight range. If you’re battling the bulge, consider complementing your workouts by looking at the green bean capsule aisle of your local health nutrition store.

Coffee Drinkers Have a Lower Risk of Some Types of Cancer
Cancer is one of the world’s leading causes of death and is characterized by uncontrolled growth of cells in the body.
Coffee appears to be protective against two types of cancer… liver cancer and colorectal cancer.
Liver cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death in the world, while colorectal cancer ranks fourth (42).
Studies show that coffee drinkers have up to a 40% lower risk of liver cancer (43, 44).
One study of 489,706 individuals found that those who drank 4-5 cups of coffee per day had a 15% lower risk of colorectal cancer (45).
