HUA HIN: -- The Hua Hin municipal authority descended on the beach yesterday to order all restaurants to display prices.

 

The move follows complaints by consumers that they were being overcharged, something that was damaging tourism in the town, reported Daily News.

 

Jiraphat Phramanee led his men to the beach yesterday where they also asked operators to maintain cleanliness and keep beach beds in designated areas.

 

The town is expected to welcome a large number of Thai and foreign tourists for the long Songkran holidays that begin in earnest today.

Simple, if prices are not displayed, the price should be zero .

Interested in only getting as much as possible from customers and no interest in providing a quality product...unsustainable in the long run 

Does this apply to Farang prices or Thai prices?

I remember reading exactly the same story about exactly the same area two or three yeas ago.

Only possible in a tourist destination.

They should not even be allowed to be on the beach. Do they pay rent for the land they occupy and to whom?

And that only shows you have a good memory, something not really existing in Thai, maybe?

The vendors must have forgotten last years order to display prices.

 

How's the illegal restaurant demolition going?

I think i read something about this years ago

is It a thai LAW to display prices--i think i read yes

So if i see a place without listed prices i can call them on it

as i know of a few that have the 2 menus--thai and tourist..

Always always ask first.

Even if it's only 5 tomatoes at the markets. It's not the money but I hate being scammed

i was referring to the prices on them..but maybe youre too thick to realize it

Twice more expensive as the same sellers around pattaya...

 

 

The same thing in Vietnam right now.    Mainland China used to have much the same problem.

Nice, but the reality is they will be rip-off levels.

Tourists may well not be familiar with the necessity of getting to know the price up-front in Thailand!

 When I lived in Hua Hin many years ago there was a big sign in Emglish as you entered the walkway to the beach Cautioning people to check prices for food before ordering.

See it hasn't changed one bit. I was there about 10 years ago and the same nonsense. Pass

The appropriate solution is to close them down, especially the one that is situated next to the  sewage ditch run off.
