beautifulthailand99 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 This is a pretty big thread for a small caveat...must be hot there with nothing much to do. Lovely spring weather back in the UK - slightly chilly but will warm up later in the day. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a bathbus ride left on the cards, a pity, but with that what was spend, barely could buy a icecream in the west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously folks the couple of times we have been to the food court at T21 it just seemed lacklustre compared to Central Festival so in consequence we never bothered. And if you are looking for a nice diversion nearby coffee and cakes in the Dusit Thani Reception are well worth the few extra baht for the ambience and wonderful smiling service.

Chelseafan Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 It would be great if they had a machine where you could put in the card or tap it (assuming its using NFC) and it can tell you how much is on it rather than queuing at the cashier desk. Personally, I never know how much I have on the card and have to queue each time to check before I purchase... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to do that before buying food to avoid embrassment at checkout. And you can ask it at any foodstall, they zip the card trough the reader and you can see the credits. Last bill shows credits too, did you found yours ? That one that says 13 baht? ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balo Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I would complain to the head office. Show them the receipt and if its really 30 days you have a solid case.As a foreigner they might even take your complaint seriously. Could be a computer problem.Sent from my SM-J610F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tropo Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I have never ever heard of 30 days.They are 30 days at Big C, Central and Marina. I’d never heard of 24 hour validity until now.Sent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpcoe Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I've assumed that the food courts with cards are 30 days and the ones with paper chits are same calendar day. In the past when cards were more rare many food courts used the same-day paper chits. Now most food courts I go to now use cards. Main exception being the Magic Food Court at Suvarnabhumi on the ground level where they still use same-day paper chits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneEyedPie Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 We never ever leave a food court without cashing out as we know this is what happens. We're quite big spenders and usually top up 250 baht each on two cards but never manage to spend more than about 60 baht each. If I'm feeling extravagant then I might add an egg to my stir fried chicken with basil then it'll be 70 baht. We love to see the cashiers face when we cash out and feel smug knowing that we won't be had over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I can reuse coffee grounds three times for a year and that should cover the 65 baht loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
