to be fair however the Hilton's regular weekday lunch buffet is 500-600 Baht and their Sunday brunch and nightly seafood buffets are 1,00-1,500 Baht - quite good value given the quality and quantity of food (even when compared to meatloaf!) and I would have thought comparable to the old Pan Pacific buffet mentioned in the opening post
