Daily News Thai Caption: You'd be angry if it was free

 

Daily News reported on the experience of a woman in Bangkok who ordered food online then went to complain on a site that translates as "We are consumers".

 

She said she was starving so ordered three dishes for 283 baht.

 

Two of them were measly in the extreme. 

 

There was an egg yolk salad with no egg yolk just a bit of salted egg that cost 99 baht, a pork 'nam tok' for 85 baht and some BBQ pork for 99 (that at least was reasonable).

She reckoned that even if it was free you'd be cross.

 

She said she contacted the trader who rejected her complaints saying things were expensive now, delivering online costs her a lot and no one has ever complained before. 

 

In highly litigious Thailand where consumer complaints can result in the customer being sued for defamation, she only went so far in identifying the store in Ramkhamhaeng, notes ASEAN NOW

 

She mentioned Udorn and a yellow flower and warned consumers to beware.

with shortages and high prices of basic food ......and it's going to get worse.

It seems in this case that the plastic begs were the main costs in this order, the shonkey traders are starting to come out finding excuses of material and labour costs, expect more of the same in the future...

I do all the cooking in our house, at least the Western stuff, she does the weird fishy and insect type cooking.  I would be ashamed to resort to delivered food  and concerned about the hygiene standards that produced it.

Hand on heart......never ordered in food in my life......never cooked a meal in my life.

 

Left home at 17 and, by hook and by crook, always had a nice lady to cook for me.

Actually, yes.   10-years later I lost the house, savings, and the judge ruled the Buffalo beat the Buffalo.   Happiest years of my life, until the neighbors moved in……

Wisdom is where knowledge meets with experience.

Hope you got that wisdom without having lived 'too too' many experiences there.

Yes things are not getting better as I ordered 2 coffee mugs from Lazada last week and they came in a million pieces. When I complained to the shop they said sorry and that's all. You really have to think about what you buy these days.

Yeah, but can the customer counter sue for defamation for being named in a defamation case ? Being able to sue the person suing you makes sense for me and might lead to litigation being dropped and a double pay off for the customer for slander! (assuming the customer has enough money to pursue it)

There was a time when people visited shops and food stalls and they looked at what they bought.

I guess I am old that I remember those times. 

They still  so. Why think otherwise? Have you been outside recently? To order in or go  out is not  a binary option. Many people  do both but Thailand  has always been synonymous with food carts delivering food door to door! It's not new. LOL

Thank you for your insider information. Without your valuable knowledge I would certainly be lost in this modern world.
