webfact Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 High prices drama: Not all Thai airports are a rip off - try Nakorn Sri Thammarat Picture: Daily News Reporters from Daily News went to the provincial airport of Nakorn Sri Thammarat to check out the prices after one of the "dramas" of the week - rip off prices at Don Muang and Suvanabhumi in Bangkok. At the southern Thailand airport they found a diner who was more than happy with his two dishes for 65 baht. Songthai Withawutisak said that 65 baht was fair especially as the ingredients were good and it was tasty. It would be 30-50 baht outside the airport but that was fine. Pictures also showed Mama noodles for 25 baht - and the hot water was free! Airport director Suksawat Suwanno chipped in that prices at his facility were indeed fair across the board at all restaurants and other outlets - some even charged the same as for items outside the airport boundaries. He said this was due to government regulations and cheap rents meaning that his airport could easily beat the prices in the capital.

gk10002000 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 At BKK the food court downstairs on Level 1 Magic Food court is it? Fine prices. Many airport employees work there, stewardesses, etc. I love stopping in there while waiting for my flight or bus connection. It is a good taste of Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
