Everytime I go out to buy drinking water in Thailand, I get a bottle for 10 bhat. I was getting used to this price until I went to the local 7-11. It was only 5 bhat there.

Granted, there is not much difference in price and this does not really warrant as a *Tourist Trap* but I guess that if one is actually in dire straits, then it makes a difference, no ?
