How it works
Restaurants immediately bordering the Krabi Town Night Market on Soi 10 and Ruen Mai Road target tourists by presenting menus in English without prices, then charging 3–5 times the local rate for standard Thai dishes. Bills include undisclosed service charges and mandatory soft drinks. The same pad thai or green curry available for 60–80 baht at a market stall is priced at 250–400 baht inside these establishments.
