New KFC Thailand website, where are the chickens?

The new KFC Thailand (Kentucky Fried Chicken) website looks really fancy and out of this world, but it's very slow and is too many clicks away from a chicken. It has a splash page where a chicken man with a cap performs a traditional "Thai wai" saying "Please choose language", but the English one isn't up so Thai is the only option available now.


Clicking on the Thai flag pops up a window in which you see cool humans being transported into a KFC alien spaceship that blasts off after a countdown. This leads to another world which is filled with all kinds of KFC product menus with a 1150 KFC satellite displaying live streamed images of KFC menu brochures on a giant screen. A new KFC song plays in the background which is catchy and funny, along with voices of people dining at a KFC outlet. All this took quite a long time to load and a I still couldn't find a chicken menu image, which was a few more clicks away.



The new website is too fancy but requires a lot of patience to find what items you are looking for before deciding to place an order by phone for delivery through 1150. The good old website was way better and faster with everything easily accessible with just 1 or 2 clicks, and it also had an English version.
