According to the post, the individual initially expected to pay only RM70 per boat for a ride. However, after completing the ride, they were unexpectedly asked to pay an additional RM350, with the boat operator claiming it was RM70 per person. 


This sudden increase in price left the visitor feeling that it was an unfair and unreasonable charge. Despite their reservations, the visitor's spouse reluctantly paid the inflated amount.
