Diner in Thailand stunned by S$2.35 bill for two fried eggs over rice<\/h2>\n

A diner in Thailand recently sparked discussion online after sharing that she was charged 60 baht (approximately S$2.35) for a simple plate of rice with two fried eggs.<\/p>\n

According to her post, the incident happened at a food stall in Pathum Thani province, where everyday prices are generally lower than in the capital Bangkok.<\/p>\n

Her story, accompanied by a photo of the modest-looking meal, quickly drew reactions from netizens, many of whom agreed the price was unreasonable.<\/p>\n

While a S$2.35 price tag might not seem too crazy for Singaporeans, Thai netizens were appalled by the steep pricing.<\/p>\n

In the caption, the woman shared that she taken her son to a spot for breakfast when he said he wanted fried egg.<\/p>\n

However, the spot they went to did not serve regular fried eggs, only salted fried eggs, prompting her to ask her son if he wanted to eat elsewhere.<\/p>\n

That was when the auntie from the neighbouring stall, who was selling noodles and stewed pork leg, overheard them and chimed in.<\/p>\n

She offered to make rice with egg for the boy, so the woman ordered rice with two fried eggs without asking for the price.<\/p>\n

Expecting the dish to cost around 30 to 40 baht (S$1.20 to S$1.60), she was floored when her partner returned with the food and told her that the plate cost 60 baht.<\/p>\n

Netizens share in her frustration<\/h3>\n

Surprised by the price, the woman later asked the elderly stallholder if the dish really cost 60 baht.<\/p>\n

The stallholder confirmed this, adding that rice with just one fried egg would cost 50 baht (S$1.95).<\/p>\n

“I can see why they aren’t doing too well,” the diner remarked in her post.<\/p>\n

Netizens also weighed in on the matter, with some saying they had expected the auntie’s offer to be a heartwarming gesture, only to be shocked by the price.<\/p>\n

For context, one commenter claimed their shop would charge just 20 baht (S$0.80) for a similar plate, while a more substantial dish of rice with pad kra pao and a fried egg would cost 55 baht (S$2.15).<\/p>\n
