PhilippBKK Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 So Thaiboss feels lonely because no fellow sexpats in lower Sukhumwit and his long gone hooker bars and he can't really afford eating at The Landmark.... This is the "I am a Loser" story of the day or what?! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"820 thai baht for a salad +water a 1 coffee !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Don't forget the convenience and comfort of being in a 4(5?)-star hotel in a CBD and being waited on. "1 Pm i noticed there are no foreigners exept indians and middel east people walking street sukhumvit soi 6to 15 soi 4 nana aera 1PM empty of farangs". No foreigner or farangs? Yeah, right.

bkk6060 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I lived around the corner from the place for a couple years. It is nice to sit outside people watching. But to me, Landmark is a huge rip off. I took a girl their for lunch one time and it was almost 2000 b. She was so impressed however, she came back to my apartment. ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Thainess Posted July 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2019 Wow, that's almost 22 quid for a salad, a coffee and a water. Even in Harrods Food Hall they don't charge you that much. BKK is more expensive than Kensington. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) The sky is the limit. At Sirocco (Lebua). Corn fed chicken 1750. Pork(!) chop 1800. If your lady insists on her rice, steamed rice side-dish 330. Obscene. Chef's menu 4500, with the Champagne 14400.

madmen Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 3 minutes ago, Kim J said: Many things in Thailand now have caught on to charging Western prices. unfortunately they are yet to catch on to the Western standards of quality and service. Simple answer: Do not frequent the places, whilst people keep paying the inflated prices they will continue to charge and increase them further. Large hotels 4 & 5* are notoriously expensive the world over. They prosper for good reason, the wealthy and businessman globetrotters are in a different class to expat pensioners.

bergen Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I walked by a few months and considered to have a beer on the terrasse. I asked the waiter, how much for a pint of Singha. His reply was; 255 Baht. I moved on, and had one for 105 Baht at another place……... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perhaps2more Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 When they get busy, the portion gets smaller too. That's Thai logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer90210 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) Well dear OP, apparently the Indians and Middle Easterners you saw can afford the food at 900 THB which seemed to expensive for your wallet ?

This is so much more expensive than home. People look at me like I am going crazy these days when I say I have changed my holiday destination away from Thailand because it's become expensive. 820 baht (27 USD !!!) for a salad and a coffee and water is crazy.

Geez, not a good argument at all. Go around the corner and get a nice sized bowl of chicken noodle soup for 45 b. Or T21 food court many choices and dishes 40 to 50 b. The Landmark maybe the most expensive place in lower Sukhumvit not a price comparison place at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
