An Indian customer disputed the price of egg rice ordered in Pattaya, prompting the intervention of transgender women who came to defend the street vendor.
An altercation broke out around a mobile cart in Pattaya, Thailand, after an Indian customer refused to pay the agreed amount for a plate of egg rice.
According to images shared online, the man had ordered an omelette containing five eggs. The vendor had applied the displayed rate of twenty baht per egg, totalling one hundred baht. Once the dish was served, the customer demanded to pay only twenty-five baht, or five baht per egg.
Faced with the vendor's refusal, the customer and his family attempted to leave without paying what was due. A group of ladyboys present on site then intervened to support the merchant.
After a heated discussion, the man finally agreed to pay the initially requested sum, after making a phone call to a relative.
This incident reignites online debates about recurring tensions between foreign tourists, particularly Indians, and Thai street vendors. Similar cases have already been reported in recent months in Phuket and elsewhere in the country.
