RIP
OFF
and
SCAM
(read
until
the
end
if
you
want
to
know
how).
7
years
in
Thailand.
I
just
paid
a
tea
500
baht
(15$)!!
The
price
for
a
tea
is
between
50
to
150
baht
according
to
the
product
and
the
type
of
restaurant
/café.
Including
ice,
whip
cream
and
other
extra
things.
Mine
was
nature
+
Jasmine
only,
and
hot.
I
know
the
prices
very
well
as
a
long
time
consumer
and
since
many
Thai
friends
are
owners
of
coffee
shops
here.
The
Russian
Manager
told
me
that
their
(average)
tea
was
imported
from
China.
I
laughed
at
this
argument
as
many
products
and
tea
are
bought
in
China
anyway.
It's
BS.
Also,
while
my
dish
"Pad
grapao"
remained
expensive,
it
also
didn't
go
beyond
the
top
of
the
price
range.
I
accepted
it.
However
it
was
absolutely
disgusting
and
I
had
to
order,
in
Thai,
the
missing
ingredients
of
the
dish.
For
the
people
who
don't
know,
this
dish
is
one
of
the
most
common
Thai
dishes
in
Thailand.
Not
being
able
to
cook
it
with
all
the
ingredients
means
that
their
staff
is
strongly
incompetent!
I
hated
the
food
there.
So,
Why
I
said
SCAM?
Well,
I
keep
hearing
similar
stories
from
people
around...
I
invited
one
of
those
Russian
girls
living
in
my
district
during
day
time.
For
our
first
date,
she
is
insisted
to
go
to
this
Russian
restaurant
Cove
Pub
and
she
ordered
this
tea.
I
didn't
check
the
price
as
it
was
supposed
to
be
normal
(2
or
4$,
not
15$!).
I
clearly
feel
she
gets
a
commission
on
ordering
things
at
rip-off
prices,
especially
when
I
saw
her
talking
to
the
owner
like
friends...
Of
course,
no
one
checks
the
price
on
the
menu
as
no
one
expects
this
rip
off,
which
is
extremely
rare
in
Thailand...
but
it
was
a
Russian
restaurant.
Draw
your
own
conclusions!
