December 12, 20214 yr As I was walking this evening in Santitham, passing maybe 30 restaurants, and having really no clue what’s what since most everything is advertised in Thai, I had a thunderous marketing idea: FOOD TOUR GUIDE. With a passing understanding of English (don’t get me started ????) the guide could charge 200 baht or more for a small tour of hidden food gems in one particular neighborhood (Santitham, Nimmenhaimen, Old City, etc). Maybe hit up 5 to 10 places. Maybe the restaurants would have a small sampling? Aside: I remember once a friend showed me this hole in the wall place in Santitham that had a kickass crispy pork and kale. I would have never found it myself. I still don’t know the name of the place, just where it is. So….Take a small group around and make 1000-2000 baht. After the tour, send the participants an email with the list of restaurants visited, with info on delivery options, etc Personally I would be happy to add some new cuisine to my weekly regulars and it would be worth my baht. ????
December 12, 20214 yr Nothing new for CM. Pre Covid many Tour Guides/Companies did exactly that and not just for food outlets. Many owners of establishments pay a "tip" to the so called guides to be included in the tour and/or offer discounts!
