cartoonman Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 (edited) I was feeling peckish the other evening and I popped into my Local 'TEXAS CHICKEN' here in Pattaya for a 'WRAP SET' - It said on the MENU that it was 115 Baht..Great !!! I handed the girl 120 Baht...She asked me "Eat Here or Takeaway ". I said "Takeaway ".......She said " 140 BAHT '. My Brain couldn't work out what she was saying !!! I pointed to the MENU and it said 115 BAHT !!! I said " 115 BAHT'... She said " IF I HAVE A TAKEAWAY it`s 25 BAHT EXTRA....". I have never heard this ever being used in ANY RESTAURANT in all the 28 Years of living here !!!! Is this NEW ? Are all the Restaurants going to do this ? I'm amazed !!! What do you think ? P.S. I grabbed my 115 Baht and walked out. Edited November 20, 2021 by cartoonman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed at the McDonalds here they charge 40 Baht for delivery but the cheeseburgers my kids like are 5 Baht more each online compared to the menu in the restaurant. They don't charge extra for takeaway though at the restaurant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Dangleberries Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 (edited) Seaside on Soi Pothole was always the same price. Their chips are only second to Mr Egg's but haven't been there for a few years. I am damn sure that Cheap Charlies charged extra for takeaway but would have no problem if somebody said that I was talking bollocks. However, from personal experience, things like bread are missing in the takeaway option. EDIT = A specific example is "Beef Stew with crusty bread" . I got home and discovered just a carton of stew but no bread! Edited November 21, 2021 by Derek Dangleberries 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
