[webfact]

 

Imagine enjoying a fine meal and, when the bill comes, it costs hundreds of thousands. A Laotian restaurant in Korat has been giving a shock that turns into amusement amongst diners with its unusual billing system.

 

The eatery, which has been widely shared on social media, charges customers hundreds of thousands for their meals – but in Laotian kip, not Thai baht.

 

The restaurant owners explained that they hoped to create a fun and unique dining experience for their patrons.

 

The meal costs in Kip can be shocking as 100 Thai baht is currently 55,411 Laotian Kip, meaning even a 500 baht meal at the restaurant would result in a bill displaying 277,000 owed.
