Hua Hin: Beach restaurant fined 1,000 baht for menu violation

 

Picture: Sanook

 

A restaurant on Sai Noi beach was fined 1,000 baht for not serving dishes as per the pictures on the menu.

 

A customer had gone online to complain about their 70 baht "khao phat krapao" with squid and prawns.

 

It only had three pieces of squid and one prawn and there was no fried egg on top. 

 

The local authority found that the item on the menu was listed at 60 baht including one of several toppings. The customer ordered two toppings but this was not stipulated as being 70 baht in the menu.

 

A 180 baht plate of "wun sen yam talee" (seafood salad with vermicelli) was found not to have been in contravention of the rules.

Well done...

 

Menu violations have long been a vile, unconscionable, scourge on the good reputation of Thailand.

 

Encouraging to see the regime has its priorities in order.

 

 

Shocking, how on earth would anybody ever go to that restaurant, such a diabolical thing not serving food as per picture.

Almost every restaurant anywhere in the world is guilty of doing the same.

Pity the officials have nothing more constructive to spend their time on.

I think they could go around every restaurant and do them, Years ago I went in a place and ordered food and when she brought the food I said thats not what I ordered, The reply was "NO HAB"

180 Baht? Should have been charged for extortion

Yeah, I found that the the two most common phrases in Thailand are,

NO HAB and CAN NOT. So I go back to England, and everything is closed.

If that's the case every restaurant would be fined, lol

I’m sure a good tongue lashing would straighten them out. 

Just make sure you brush your teeth after

I wonder if same kind of rules would apply to a certain restaurant chain selling hamburgers...????

 

Looks like a normal Thai portion on the photo. If this is considered a rip-off, then what about charging farang 120 baht for pad thai at some places?

Off topic posts, troll posts and the replies have been removed. 

A government agency stepping in and playing consumer advocate? Is this something new? This was a local agency, part of the Hua Hin administration. It must have been. I cannot imagine the Prayuth regime ever doing anything to benefit the average consumer.

Strangely enough though, when eating at Burger King here in Thailand, the burgers actually do look like the pictures whereas back in the US,  every Whopper looks like it was smooshed on purpose before serving it.

I am sure it was

I feel so much safer now.

That’s wry I never order the turd on toast it always comes out sloppy, nothing like the pic????

I bet the same ones that were order closed because of the sanitary conditions a few months ago...1000B is nothing.

A Western style restaurant  owned and run by a Thai family had Cheeseburger  ++ on their  English Menu.....I ordered it

 

When it arrived it was  a bun with a slice of Cheese in the center, basically a Cheese roll,  i asked where is the Burger meat, they insisted what they had served was a Cheese burger... minutes  of arguing could not change their thinking...I watched as another table had been served egg on toast , with jam lol...that  place has  since closed down

If you want farang food dont go in a Thai restaurant, In the past I've seen English breakfast made from junk bought from 7/11

Its not really a ripp off if you know the price and get what you pay for. As for Pad Thai: it comes in all forms and at various prices levels.

I have never thought that photographs are supposed to represent a 100% accuracy in restaurants..just a visual aid.
