Portion size - wtf
Re: Portion size - wtf
It is exactly what you would expect to experience when visiting a failed state teetering on the verge of complete and utter economic, political and social collapse.
Thailand is the new Kampuchea.

Apparently the portion sizes aren't that big for the partners of Thai men either
Dr Wanlop Piyamanotham, Psychologist and Adviser for the Human Development Project at Srinakharinwirot University recently told reporters that Thai marital problems are often related to penis size.
He also said that Thai men don’t understand women’s feelings, and that they think bigger means better in the bedroom. Men with smaller penises feel insecure about not being able to please their partners, and so this may lead men to look for other partners, he postulated.
Dr. Kawirat Thanthiwong, Urologist of Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University doesn’t agree. He believes that the average size of four inches isn’t considered small among Thais or Asians. The doctor added that size doesn’t affect sexual pleasure and that the survey is sensational.

Re: Portion size - wtf
bah. They've cut portions, number of ingredients, size of ingredients and increased price such that you pay double what you used to.indigo_design wrote:Same here in SHV.
The restaurant owners have 3 choices
Smaller portions
Raise prices and watch the cheap charlie customers go to the place next door or
Go bust
Option 1 seems to be the way to go.
Still can get battered fish, chips and salad for $2 but you get 20 chips instead of 30 and the fish is getting smaller.
THIRD OPTION
increase price a bit but increase portion and ingredients. A LOT of what we're talking about is rice or noodles, which are cheap. A lot of this is just plain greed. Some of it is the older ones giving the business to younger relatives that think they are smart and farang is STUPID.
I noticed this starting to happen about 4 yrs ago. Oftentimes if you eat away from farang areas you get a better price. And sometimes, very rare, better portion, and more ingredients. I got a really good meal (with my Thai gf) at some outta the way place for 30 baht. It would have made almost two 50 baht Bangkok meals.
