I’ve been to all sorts of restaurants that don’t list prices, especially for drinks and desserts.

“I’ve been to all sorts of restaurants that don’t list prices, especially for drinks and desserts.”

I used to like to mess with vendors at the weekend market in Bangkok. I’d see something, then wait for a local to buy some. When I walked up and looked, I’d get some inflated price in broken English. Then I’d say in my finest Thai, “That guy just bought 4 for the same price.” LOL.

Other times I’d show little interest but start a conversation. Then idly ask about something. Are those any good? Where did they come from? Eventually price would come up and I’d start weaseling a low price. Fun stuff if the vendor had a sense of humor.
