“When I dropped off the dog, I told them to just wash it,” he said, adding that the shop, located on Sukprayoon Road in Muang district, had not warned him about its charges in advance. Nevertheless, the man paid Bt2,000 of the bill and said his brother would pay the rest later. Sitthichai added that he had previously paid Bt800 at most to have a dog washed in Bangkok, while it cost as little as Bt500 in the Paed Rew area of his home province. The shop’s owner, Kanokwan Siangprasert, 38, later told The Nation that the service fees were charged according to the size of dog and details of the work. She added that the dog’s size justified the fee of at least Bt1,500 because its hair was thick and tangled, requiring two rounds of grooming before bathing.
