Talk About Getting Ripped Off!

"A group of tourists was charged $135 for four coffees in Venice, Italy this week. The group of seven tourists from Rome sat down at Caffe Lavena in the famed St. Mark’s Square, ordered four espressos with shots of Amaro, an Italian liqueur, and enjoyed themselves. When the tourists received the bill for €101, or $135, they were shocked to find espresso was $8 a cup, a shot of Amaro was $11, and they'd been charged another $56 because there was a string quintet playing!"

Still complaining about that extra 5 baht you got charged at the noodle shop?

No diferent in Singapore at the sidewalk cafe outside of the Marriot on Orchard Road and you don't get the musicians. Just expensive coffee and tea.

Now I feel better paying 50 baht for krapao moo khai dao ( pork with holy basil and a fried egg),near Khaosan road last week. It's 35 baht in Udon and Bang Sue.

Not Thailand related and therefore closed.
