Restaurant owner sells ฿10 boat noodles
This boat noodles restaurant has reportedly decided to continue selling noodles for ฿10 (~USD0.3) per bowl, regardless of the price increases in oil and raw materials, according to news.ch7.
Apparently, the restaurant has been open for 11 years – and has stuck with this price since the beginning. For paying customers, they also serve water that’s free-of-charge.
When asked about her decision not to raise noodle prices, the owner stated that she wishes to stay considerate towards her customers due to these economic circumstances. Although she didn’t want to raise her prices, with the little profit she earns, she claims it’s enough to live on.
