How far should foreigners in Thailand go to let locals know they do not like being double or triple charged for things like food, or worse, for beer?

Foreigners who visit and live in Thailand come in as many different shades as their local counterparts, and can’t always be judged as a group. But over the years Thai tourist havens, major facility operators and even the government, have thrown caution, reason and decency to the wind and allowed the overcharging of foreigners to continue, creating one displeased patron after another.

Foreigners are increasingly aware of this through word of mouth, and while Thailand still retains its attractiveness as the place to go, the Thais are doing themselves a disservice because of their apathy toward legitimate questions on overcharging and violence in general.

Sorry, but I haven’t noticed any overpriced, double prices or overcharged for ages. I have to say that a few years back it was very common at Patpong and Sukhumvit area. Especial in bars where, the mostly male visitors, look more at the entertainment then looking at the pricelist….

Currently, the only thing you have to worry about is when you give money for the bill; it would not be the first time that a five hundred Baht bill magically changed into a one hundred Baht bill.
