Bangkok restaurant alleges foreigner cheated in eating challenges<\/h2>\n

A restaurant in Bangkok, Thailand has accused a foreign man of cheating after he allegedly completed two of their high-stakes eating challenges under false pretences.<\/p>\n

In a Facebook post on 18 Dec, Gold Curry Bangkok claimed that the man, who had taken part in their Japanese curry rice challenges, had secretly disposed of food during the attempts.<\/p>\n

The restaurant later shared a video in the comments section, which appears to show him stuffing handfuls of curry rice into his pockets while repeatedly glancing around, seemingly to avoid detection.<\/p>\n

According to the post, the man attempted the restaurant’s 8kg curry rice challenge, which must be completed within 45 minutes to win a cash prize of 20,000 baht (about S$830).<\/p>\n

He also took on the 6kg challenge, which carries a 10,000 baht (around S$410) reward if finished within 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

Gold Curry Bangkok also issued a warning to other eateries that offer eating challenges with cash prizes, urging them to remain vigilant.<\/p>\n

Restaurant says police have been involved<\/h3>\n

Earlier, on 12 Dec, Gold Curry Bangkok had publicly congratulated the same man in a separate Facebook post, sharing photos of him completing the 8kg challenge.<\/p>\n

The caption noted that he finished with five minutes to spare, successfully claiming the prize.<\/p>\n

However, after reviewing the video footage and concluding that he had cheated, the restaurant said it had since brought the matter to the police to “clear things up”.<\/p>\n

Lapse in supervision cited<\/h3>\n

Responding to comments online, Gold Curry Bangkok explained that their usual protocol involves a staff member standing close to the challenger to monitor both the participant and the timer.<\/p>\n

In this case, the restaurant said the staff member was unable to properly oversee the man during both challenges, allowing him to leave with a total of 30,000 baht (around S$1,240) in prize money.<\/p>\n

Beyond the two challenges in question, Gold Curry Bangkok is known for a range of escalating food challenges.<\/p>\n

Diners who finish a 2kg curry rice within 15 minutes receive a free meal, while those who complete a 4kg portion in 30 minutes are rewarded with vouchers for 30 curry dishes.<\/p>\n

The biggest test, however, is the 10kg curry rice challenge. Anyone who manages to finish it within an hour stands to win 40,000 baht (approximately S$1,650), according to Thaiger.<\/p>\n
