chakatee Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 No matter how much you paid for it, this is priceless :-) At least they already announced that despite the overtaking by Big C, the services would remain unchanged so in future you will not have any less slices of tomato ...

phaethon Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I've had a similar situation from Tesco's in the UK, tiny blob of filling right on the (displayed through the packaging) edge and nothing beyond, Another UK scam, which I haven't seen here (yet), is selling wraps - thin tortilla bread wrapped around various sandwich fillings - which appear to be a 20cm long continuous tube of goodness. BUT the label covers all the way around the centre of the wrap which is in fact the heavily folded ends of the cut wrap placed together in the hidden centre, eliminating about 50% of the apparent filling capacity.

Fookhaht Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Yes, it's commonly LOD country here (Land of Disappointments) when one seeks out western food. I stopped in a little Isaan eatery a few years ago, and was delighted to see "Potato Salad" on the menu, and promptly ordered it, licking my chops. I heard the sound of something being deep fried, and then it came to my table: French fries with a dollop of mayo on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fookhaht Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Everyone knows that when it comes to the French and food, it's all about quality and not quantity! I bet those two little slivers of ham & cheese were absolutely scrumptious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raro Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 speaking of Western food in Isaan...had years ago the "Tomato Cream Soup" in a Roi Et hotel. The taste was so odd that I asked the cook for the recipe...it included vanilla cream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoeDogg Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Once ordered a pizza from Pizza Company via delivery. Opened it up and noticed that something just did not look right but couldn’t quite figure out what (might have been because of the hangover)…then it hit me….there was NO cheese! How can you make a pizza but forget to put cheese on it (which was their excuse)!?! A year later, ordered from them again. Large pepperoni pizza….double cheese and double pepperoni. They tell me they don’t have. <deleted>?!?! Put double the amount of cheese and pepperoni on the pie! Their response…..”Oh, you must order large pepperoni pizza with EXTRA cheese and pepperoni. OK, what ever. The pizza arrives and it has TWO…count ‘em…TWO pieces of pepperoni on it. Amazing Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoeDogg Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 A man at my friends bar ordered a hamburger from a nearby restaurant, and the barmaid called in the order. Barmaid asked if he wanted cheese, he said no, and she repeated the same into the phone. Burger arrives and it has cheese. Man tells delivery waitress that he order a hamburger, not cheeseburger. Delivery waitress: “Oh sorry miser, no hab hamburger”. Man takes his knife and scrapes off the cheese and the ask her “So what do you call this?” Delivery waitress: “That cheeseburger, no cheese”. We laughed or asses of about that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanLaew Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I looked long and hard at the OP's picture. I see ham and I see cheese. I also see some lettuce and tomato which he got for free. Is there a problem here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Conners Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I think you are making a fool of yourself here. Look at the picture again. There is a tiny sliver of ham and cheese, that is the problem. If you can't see that you need glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintofsilence Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 This is very unfortunate to be ripped off in this way but you have to understand the sandwich maker would be on a low wage and needs to be fed also a little bit of sharing wont hurt.

QED Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Isn't it heartining though, in all our home countries we would have made a big fuss, got lots of stress, and been occupied for days trying to seek 'justice'. Here we all have a laugh and say '<deleted> it, I'll try somewhere else tomorrow'. A big reason why most of us live here? For me YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barryofthailand Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I find that the best food in Thailand is the food you make at home. Most places here do not understand how to prepare good quality western food. Best to make that ham and cheese sandwich yourself at home.

I am sure there was no mention of quantity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaibeachlovers Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) Not just in LOS. I was recently in Ireland, and while at the Dublin Rail Station bought a "smokey bacon burger" from a well known takeaway chain. When I opened the burger, I could barely see the bacon! Unfortunately, the train had left the station, so unable to go back and make a scene. I was thinking that with rip offs like that, it's no wonder Ireland is in the deep doo doo, and no sympathy either.
