Russian tourists claimed they were wrongly accused of not paying the bill at a beach cafe in Pattaya. According to the couple, they ordered beer and snacks during the rain. Initially, they were given a bill only for the beer, which they paid. Later, the waiters added the cost of the snacks to the same bill. The Russians claim that they also paid for this part of the order. After the tourists left the establishment, employees caught up with them and accused them of not paying for the alcohol. The police were called to the scene. The police reviewed CCTV footage, which recorded the moment the money was handed over to the waitress. After that, the Russians were released, and no further claims were made against them. The tourists themselves noted that they were most worried not about the amount of 190 baht, but because of the public discussion of the incident and fears of encountering similar problems during their vacation. For readers: Always keep payment receipts, especially in tourist areas, to avoid possible misunderstandings.
