Pawpcorn Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Does anyone know how to contact health officials about a problem restaurant at Central Rama II that needs to inspected? I've gotten diarrhea (tong sia) every time (four times in a row) after eating there. I've already notified the management there, but to no avail; I got sick again, eating there 3 weeks later. This is a major chain restaurant! Yesterday I ate at their chain restaurant in Big C: No problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post giddyup Posted July 9, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) It sounds like you're a sucker for punishment. If I got sick once, maybe twice (benefit of doubt first time) that would be enough for me. There's plenty of places to eat in Thailand, why frequent somewhere that has dodgy food?

h90 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 If you get sick every time you go there and you go there again and again, than the restaurant is dirty, but you have also some mental problems. Who would go again to a restaurant that makes him sick?????? I think that would be also the responds from any health official in Thailand....

Jingthing Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I find it funny that you kept eating there but I applaud your interest in public service. About a year ago I ate at two new to me restaurants in close proximity and later got one the worse cases of food poisoning in my life. The thing is I liked the food at both restaurants. I don't have a clue which one made me sick so I can't bring myself to go back to either one of them even though I feel tempted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a proper statistic you need at least 10 samples they told me in that statistic course. So 6 more times to go till it is statistically safe.

phl Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 considering that there are hardly any health standards when it comes to food, i do not see a point wasting the time. they will pay the inspector few thousand to NOT even bother(thats providing they will even act on it) Does OP really think anyone is going to bother a large chain(thai owned) over 1 foreigner? common get real, there are people selling bugs on the streets and meet which never been kept in the fridge I guess some people either new or have too much time on their hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tea Money they collect more than makes up for the stress ! i beg to disagree the "tea money" for putting "inspected and approved" is only 1000 baht and paid only once, there are no inspections and yearly renewal of the license does not require an inspection. not only that the so called inspectors have no formal training but office clerks in the city hall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaccha Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I had a problem with a Japanese restaurant chain beginning with a Y. The pre cooked food wasn't reheated properly so got salmonella once and some food poisoning another time. But they really sorted things out. The manager was changed and the whole decour was upgraded.... But I doubt it was down to my complaint I made.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pawpcorn Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 It sounds like you're a sucker for punishment. If I got sick once, maybe twice (benefit of doubt first time) that would be enough for me. There's plenty of places to eat in Thailand, why frequent somewhere that has dodgy food? Ohhhh thanks for the advice!!! Actually I was asking for a phone number... Maybe it would help you to understand that I teach English in the same mall.... and we have all of 30 minutes prepare for the next class, then rush to the nearest restaurant to wolf down a meal for lunch, and get back in time to teach the next class... and this problem restaurant is located close enough to the school and serves western-style food... so those HAD BEEN my reasons for wanting to eat there... I'm NOT a "sucker for punishment", thus I've STOPPED eating at this restaurant, and this last Sunday I located a newly-opened branch of the same chain restaurant, nearby in Big C, which is ALMOST as close to where I work, and I will eat there in the future, so now I'm just looking to fix a problem. Note too, that I spoke to the manager about this issue of tainted food or unsanitary conditions after the third time... then gave them a month to clean up the problem before hoping for the best, and trying them the last and final time. Reason for wanting to help eliminate a source of tainted food being served to the public in a major shopping mall? I'm just "trying to do the right thing", "looking to help my fellow man" and "doing what's morally correct"; that's just the way I live my life, na. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting forum statistics... out of about 24 generally insulting responses... ONE person (you!) were kind enough take me seriously, and pass on some helpful information! Thanks very much! I'll also share the information that a kind student at that remote teaching site found for me during class break today: I AM a realist, (been here 6 years,) and I'm not really expecting results, given where we've chosen to live(!), but it never hurts to try! At the very least, the results can provide additional fodder for classroom conversation! The students really appreciate reality-topical conversation topics, as opposed to hypothetical "nonsense" 555 Thanks again, and take care, na Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear about your plight, but why bother? To notify someone to get there restaurant cleaned up makes only sense if you going to close it down after they have failed to comply with your notice... Have you tried Thai food? I recommend it.

Considering that you can get arrested and imprisoned for being accused of slander in this country, I won't even even post the restaurant's initials... Thanks again! Stating the facts that one regularly eats in restaurant X and regularly has diarrhoea is not slander. That is simply stating the facts that can be proven by showing receipts of food purchased and a doctor's certificate. It wouldn't even state up in a kangaroo court. Causality is not shown by putting two facts in one sentence. Edited July 10, 2012 by Morakot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
