The most expensive places you’ve ever stayed, ate or drank

[Fugitive]

Mine is the Lebua tower in Bangkok. We stayed for a night and the room was £400 for 1 night as a treat before we flew home.

 

The sky bar was something else. We went up and they handed me a menu for champagne and the cheapest bottle was about £900 up to £5000. Think there was cheaper options but they were not on the menu.

 

A beer and a vodka and coke was around £50.

 

We had one drink and ended up in McDonald’s over the road.

 

The next morning we got breakfast on room service and it was basically a continental breakfast for about £80 and if we wanted a tin of caviar was £1000 and up to £4000.

 

It was at that point I realised that I’m a poor cunt.

 

The rest of Thailand was cheap as fuck. We stayed in villas and luxury tree houses for about £8 a night.

 

When was the last time you felt poor?

[Bobby Hundreds]

Ordered a Domino's once.

Some restaurant at the Eiffel Tower, had a nine course meal which was supposedly 600 euros a head and it was all shite, such as sliced cold pigeon.

 

The breakfast at the hotel was 60 euros apparently and it was passable at best.

Pix 'n' Mix at Cineworld.

If some cunt charged me £50 for a pint and a vodka & coke it would be World War 3.

Regency Beverly Wilshire hotel. Only had to fart and it was a $20 tip.

I went into Brewdog for my mate's leaving do & it was £6.55 for a pint of lager, I spent the entire time telling everybody the boozer across the road was doing Tennents for £4.50 & we ended up in there after an hour.

 

Everywhere is a fucking rip off now though.

Just wait til Engineman Tory gets a chance to post on this thread...

I remember going my mates wedding at a city centre hotel in Manchester.

 

I asked for a double vodka and red bull as I was sick of lager and it was 12 quid. This was in 2010 as well. Went back to lager after that even if I was sick of it.

Shakespeare’s?

Not the most expensive overall but the £30 I paid last week for two lots of tea and toast in the Booking Office 1869 in the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel took the piss a bit.

Which is why I ended up in McDonald’s

“we had oysters and only paid £800 for 3… bargain”

[Fugitive]

In contrast, this cost me about £3 at a food market in Koh Samui. A whole red snapper and prawns. 
 

[Section_31]

We had two cakes and two coffees in Stockholm for £43. You expect a bit of that though.

It was, aye.

 

Not the best pub but better than those Brewdog shitholes. This was November 2022.

Stayed in the Burj Al Arab for one night on our honeymoon. Last night coincided with Mrs. L's 30th birthday.

$1500 for the room, b&b.

Room was a 2 storey suite, and each floor had its own concierge. 

Had Wagu steak for the dinner. Can't remember what she had, but they came out with a 24 carat gold leaf covered chocolate cake for her birthday.

Fillet steak was part of the breakfast buffet.

They had lads walking around the sunbed area, and if you were too warm, they'd spray with Evian.

Saw Robbie Keane and Stephen Carr in the swimming pool.

Other than them, it was full of old Russian lads with young wives.

For pure taking the piss, has to be vegas.

 

Open a door $5

hail a taxi $5

Spit in you food $5

 

The tip culture in America has put me off America for good but learnt to play the game. Sit on the 1c slots and get free drinks in the Monte Carlo.

 

One of the best was LA and some weird cunt offering me a tour of places the Beatles have been in Hollywood. It was basically the Capitol records building and when I told him I’m from Liverpool, the silly cunts face dropped.

 

Eneded up drinking in proper shitty bar in Hollywood boulevard. Cans of massive blue ribbon surrounded by bikers who I thought were gonna kill me but turned out to be sound as fuck.

Since moving to Scotland, I’ve turned into a tight cunt… trying to fit in with the locals.

Played a festival in Copenhagen in the 90s and we got paid £1500. After 3 days on the piss taking taxis to bars and clubs we got home with £16 between the 4 of us, so went for a pint with it. 

[Bjornebye]

L’Enclume up in Cartmel. Been voted best restaurant in the UK a few times. Full tasting menu and a night in a beautiful hotel room. Michelin starred etc. 

 

Didn't cost me a penny. I was seeing a bird who had split up with her husband and they had been given it as a wedding gift

And not a single picture of your breakfast. You’re a disgrace.

Isn't that a myth, it's really the English that are miserable fucks.... 

 

And reading this thread... It appears to be true....... 

 

Stayed one night in some 5 star hotel in Bangkok because the trail rail company went on strike so we couldn't go to Chiang Mai. 

 

It was nearly 20 years ago and cost over €500 for the night. The room was nice and all, but there was no atmosphere what so ever. 

 

Have also been to Patrick Guilbauds here in Dublin, a 2 star Michelin restaurant, cost us just over 500 euro, and to be honest, it was worth every penny.

Just found one and I was mistaken, there was egg, bacon and sausages involved. Fucking look at them though.

 

[dandyman]

Just been on a works team building, leadership type thing.

 

Estelle Manor in Oxfordshire.

 

the type of place that if you drop something there are three people suddenly appear to pick it up for you. Where the waiting staff at the evening meal look at you as some kind of weirdo when you pass them your plate.

 

The mini bar in the room would cost nearly £4grand to empty, which included a 10ml bottle of mouthwash costing £20 and a pack of paracetamol’s (2 tablets) for your hangover at a mere £27.

 

£900 a night apparently 

 

Ive never felt like I never belonged in such an environment as I did there.

 

oh and the, “we’ll need a card just to pre-authorise any charges to your room” - SIX HUNDRED FUCKING POUNDS!!! SIX!!!!
