Thai media 77kaoded went to a fresh food market in downtown Ratchaburi, south central Thailand, after getting word that a woman was selling noodles and rice dishes to go for just 10 baht.

 

It was at the "Jay Ngor Sri Muang" shop in the market run by 65 year old Ratchaneewan better known as "Jay Ngor".

 

Despite sky rocketing food prices she has been able to keep her prices to just 10 baht.

She opens at 5 am and by midday she's sold 2,500 packets.

 

And the food is good quality with good ingredients that customers do not need to flavor additionally.

 

She's got dry noodles with red pork, Pad Thai, Pad Mama, Pad Kapow and sausage fried rice among a host of other Thai favorites. 

 

The media even provided Jay Ngor's phone number. 

 

The story certainly bucked the trend of other reports in Thailand of constantly rising prices, notes ASEAN NOW, proving that a wily owner selling in bulk could still provide value to customers.

Verified by who?

Yuk, cold noodles or rice.

The cynic in me says that some people maybe buy 100 meals at 10 baht each and resell them at 20-30 baht...

Looks better food than the woman was complaining about the other

day , were she paid 300 THB, for 3 small portions.

I've never had a filling meal for less than 100 baht.  The standard 40-50 baht meal most vendors sell, is not a filling meal.  Simply a plate or bowl of food, not a meal.

 

Locally, one vendor has a very nice Khao Soi, with decent chicken or pork patty portion in it, and that will hold me over for a few hours @ 90 + 10 baht for a water.

 

Local burger lady, couple years ago, had burger + tater wedges for 75, so if 100 now, that would also work.   

 

 

 

Wife was tucking into these on soi 22 last night......small bag was 20 baht!!!

It would be more accurate to describe the food as snacks.

I usually spend between 80 and 150 baht on a takeaway, more if I am ordering fish or beef steak in a restaurant.

Those are tiny assed portions!

Street food 50 baht is filling

The food looks tasty and she sell so much I reckon many people buy 5 and maybe do like a dim sum meal. 

 

But to suggest she is selling meals for 10 baht is rather fake news.
