Restaurant shows customer an act of kindness
It’s no denying that Thailand is going through a tough time with many issues to deal with: whether it’s vaccines running low, Covid-19 cases that seem to be on the rise daily, or the economy that is still on its way towards improvement.
Nevertheless, the country is doing its best to take it in stride and bring us towards better days.
This includes its people, who have been showing generosity to each other in these unprecedented times. For example, this restaurant in Chon Buri gave a customer an extra meal for free after learning that she was struggling to feed her two children.
Here’s the whole story.

Mother of two gets an extra meal for free after politely asking
On 2nd July 2021, Thai restaurant, Rarn Mae Krua Tua Glom received an order for Thai omelette with rice, which costs ฿50 (~USD1.50). The order came with the note, “Can I get an extra-large portion? My salary hasn’t come out yet and I have two kids to feed, I’m afraid it won’t be enough for them. If it’s not possible, then it’s okay.”
The restaurant took the request to heart and gave the customer another serving for free, in addition to an upsized portion.
Here, they also wrote a note on the receipt saying, “The other box is on us, please enjoy the meal and have your fill.” *Cries happy tears*
