WitawatWatawit Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Actually, zipped off down the road and bought 2 pieces of watermelon for 66 cents. 20 baht. Could have bought a whole one for 50 if I could be bothered slicing it up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somsrisonphimai Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Are you sure you did not pay double price? It seemed to be the norm of complaining here, double pricing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajaan Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Well, 500 for two hours Thai massage is almost double price...the real price is 300 for two hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somsrisonphimai Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Well, 500 for two hours Thai massage is almost double price...the real price is 300 for two hours. Very generouse tip by the way. In the US, they charge $40-$70/h massage, and no happy ending. So your $15 for 2 hours massage was way cheaper!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wym Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 60 baht per hour in my neighborhood, but B100 if you want air con. But not the sort of "girls" you'd even want happy endings from even if they were on offer - which they're not 8-) However soapy down the road, which is definitely oriented toward that sort of massage is also B100 per hour - but most customers spend a LOT more than that, think management makes most of its profits from the food and drink brought up to the rooms, some guys stay for 5-6 hours, go in large groups too, "party time"!! Ah, Thainess. . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bgrassboy Posted January 20, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2014 Love riding my motorcycle (scooter) to the front of the line (queue) at red lights.

fatfather Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 500 baht (which included a 200 baht tip) for a 2hrs long massage in central Bangkok, in a nice air conditioned community mall. You are one of those who are responsible for double pricing the falang. Which normal man gives 2£ tip on a 3£ bill? You have to be on low battery Fatfather Sent from my phone 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunWichai Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 30baht for Banana Roti, you are being ripped pal, only 20baht in Sukhumvit in Bangers. Of more interest, Nana Plaza is having a Buy 2 Get 1 special tonight. Last weeks Buy 3 Get 3 special at Soi Cowboy certainly drummed up some business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluie3 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I love the 'mookaata' - eat all you want, cook it yourself, includes sweets for 129B which is walking distance from my house in a country town. I also love the daily, freshly cooked food I get from the market at 25B a serving - usually spend about 100B a day = 3,400B p/m so my pension sure goes a long way. I also have an electricity bill of about 300B p/m so I am a very happy bloke living in Northern Thailand - weather also good and no 'shut downs' either gotta love it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
