Just found out some hostels in Bangkok charge less for a bed if you book directly by phone

I called a place from their website listing and got a dorm bed for 180 baht, but the same bed was 250 on a booking site. Has anyone else found this works in other cities?

Hold on, you found a phone number that actually worked? I'm more shocked by that than the price drop. I figured those contact links just went into a digital void. Makes me wonder how many other places still operate on a call for the real price system.

Isn't this just how everything works now? The middleman apps always take a cut, so going direct is cheaper. I see it with local services all the time.

Wait, you can actually call a plumber directly?
