    This reminds me of a cool spot I was in Bangkok at the roof top restaurant with awesome view called the Dome at Lebua. Where they film the Hangover 2. It cost $600.00 USD for two people. Worth it for the experience not worth it for the food. 😅
    Love the video.

    Chris Come visit San Francisco, $125 is a bill for an average restaurant, ok for 3 people. A large Pizza will cost you $45 US. Dinner out at an average Thai restaurant will set you back $80 and you have to give a 20% tip on top, you will come out disgusted with what you got.
