Chris Daley Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I went to the market and found a nasty looking hole in the wall. There was a grown man sitting there in his pajamas and a woman playing her phone. They were not busy. My girlfriend said what she wanted and the woman waved her hand in the air and continued using the phone. My girlfriend added ''make it spicy'' and we went to sit and wait. I would usually walk away at that point as I have done in the past many times. If you can't even be bothered to take the order I will go next door. But my girlfriend has the patience of a saint. We had it to take away and collected the box. It was 57 baht for krapao muu kai dao. Tastes watery and has gristle in it. Have you ever had a time when the price was shockingly high for something? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravip Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 57 baht for krapao muu kai dao is shockingly high? I thought 60 was the average price. Watery taste is of course another matter. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubascuba3 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 i always ask the price first because when you don't that's an invite to charge falang price. Taxi bikes used to annoy me, 50 baht to condo but if two then it's 100 baht, same journey should be same cost, same a car taxi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Watery ? Every version I have seen is pretty dry unless stipulated otherwise. 57bt with kai dow is about right dependent in where this was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacessit Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 If I think something is going to be expensive, I always want to know the price first. I don't get my knickers in a twist over 60 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
