Hanging out in 5 star hotels again mate? No - just a regular farang type place. Food price is high enough ( treble CM ) BUT THAT IS JUST RIDICULOUS. |

Orrr, stop compraining !  I avoid "regular farang type places" like the plague, the food is usually prepared to suit the tourist (shite) and everything is double the price or more of the Thai restaurant just round the corner. When I was in Dali China in 2007 the price of bottled water was higher than the local beer, which was not a bad drop. Hence I drank beer, lots of it !  |

That's the spirit, back to the old days when water was of such shocking quality that drinking beer was more healthy. Might explain why some still like a 'weak' beer with nary a %% of alcohol.

Whinge whinge effin whinge, is thebletherey an Ozzy I ask myself. FFS a pommie peso for a botle of water. How much in London, New York Paris or Sydney, ok that aint Asia, how much in Singapore or Hong Kong? We Bangkokians love those prices, keeps the cheapo anti Brexit Brigade away from our beautiful city, how many stunningly beautiful women did you perv, sorry observe for free? You have been spending too mutt time with those Isaan Refugee types, cant afford to live in Bkk coz their 40 year British Rail pension dont cut it.
No - just a regular farang type place. Read more: bigmango.boards.net/thread/8079/50-baht-bottle-water#ixzz4SdHIBmYNTranslates as some farang pub on Suk Rd, the haunt of two week millionaires with their Suk lovely in tow. See previous post, Suk or the 'Burbs. |

50 Baht A Bottle Of Water? Absolutely right to be outraged. You're being farmed. The appropriate response is to fling the water from your glass into the face of your waitperson. It will be a bracing experience for them, and your message will be clear. |

See previous post, Suk or the 'Burbs. I now know the establishment concerned....a restaurant which when it first opened was a breath of fresh air to a dingy soi which is now thriving. The restaurant has doubled in size and price while food quality has dwindled. The azzhole never asks my advice....didn't in Amsterdam either. I think he thinks I'm thick ya know. Sheesh. |

See previous post, Suk or the 'Burbs. Yes - an accurate description of the place. I will make a point of exploring this area today in the hope of finding Thai local places. It's got nothing to do with cost, everything to do with value. A concept that defeats many. |

My favorite innocuous Thai conspiracy theory: Bangkok could have potable water throughout the entire city via the existing pipes and a little more treatment, but as the water companies (Chang, Singha) have so much influence over the gov't and this is not in their interest, it won't happen.
I dunno if that's true, but back at my old school, there was one of those isolated free drinkable water fountains. I drank from it one day after exercising.. I needed to. The worst water I've ever tasted.
