Order the best of everything and jump before the bill arrives.

But where to lend the money for the elevator ride?

Money lender. With any luck the jumper will land on him.

It's a typical Thai method of trying to force you  to buy something, Tuktuks to jewelry shops because Grand Palace is closed, the layouts of shopping malls, etc. Out of principle I never buy anything from places that try that old trick.

So basically you never buy anything in a shopping mall or a supermarket?  They are ALL designed to maximise your spending and there is a lot of science and research behind it.

 

But good for you for shopping exclusively at family run stores - I bet your wardrobe is fab.

This Mahanakhon tower is not a nice place to visit.

1- It's super expensive

2- You can't bring liquids up, not for safety but because they want to sell you water for 200 baht or juices for 300. Scummy folks.

3- They force you to stop and take shitty fake photos in front of a green screen that are obviously also super expensive.

4- When you get down the milking continues because they drop you in a literal maze of stores. You have to find your way down 3 levels, going through the only possible path THROUGH all shops.

 

I rarely felt as frustrated as I was visiting this place. So of course, I can't expect a restaurant here to be any different.

Yawn. Not another 'iconic' hi-so skybar.

Indeed I try to avoid them as much as possible. Need to eat so have to shop, Makro mostly. My collection of beach shorts from talad is truly fab.
