Department to probe Raan Jay Fai pricing scandal

PEACHII, a London-based Thai YouTuber who has 1.6 million followers, reported via her X account on Aug 15 that she took a foreign friend to dine at Raan Jay Fai, which is renowned for its signature crabmeat omelettes.

She ordered as usual from the restaurant’s menu, which clearly listed the crabmeat omelette at 1,500 baht. However, when the bill came, she was charged 4,000 baht.

The restaurant later told her the higher price was applied because it had used crab from a “better source”, she claimed.

Wittayakorn Maneenetr, director-general of the DIT, said officials attempted to investigate the matter at the restaurant yesterday but found it was closed.
