I noticed this too recently and was surprised. One place chargedYeah, that sounds super frustrating — especially when they keep stacking on extra charges like that. A 200 Baht per person fee? That’s wild unless you're getting some kind of special service or entertainment included. It’s one thing to charge VAT and service, but a per-head fee just for sitting down feels a bit much. I’ve been to a couple of Orchard Road restaurants that are upfront with pricing, which I really appreciate. No one likes getting hit with surprises when the bill shows up. us 50 baht each just for sitting down, even before ordering. Seems more places are sneaking this in now.
