Cha Tra Mue is synonymous with Thailand’s drink scene — and a no-brainer for me anytime I’m craving a cold, sweet pick-me-up.
But there’s something that’s been bugging me.
I started noticing price differences across outlets for their Original Thai Tea series. At first, I chalked it up to mall rental fees… but then I saw two separate outlets in Siam Paragon — one near the food court and another by the supermarket exit — and they were priced differently. 🤔
It’s not a big deal, but it’s one of those quiet mysteries that keeps sipping away at my brain.
🌟 Final Thoughts
Still one of my favourite drinks, especially in Thailand’s heat. But now I can’t help but pause and price-check. Maybe one day I’ll get answers. Maybe not.
In the meantime… sip sip.
