In tourist cafes, of course, it is more expensive - sometimes the price can be 10 times higher (this is especially true for Patong in Phuket). Those who are afraid of exotic food and a lot of spices can eat in European restaurants or food courts, where the food is more tourist-oriented. In general, Thais try to put little pepper to Europeans and perfectly understand the words no spicy.
Fruit is quite cheap, especially in season. When buying, you can bargain if you take a lot. It is better to do this in markets, farm vans (jeeps) or in supermarkets - sometimes the stalls on tourist streets are clearly overpriced.
