easydoor Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I don't know where they get this prices. Here where I stay, a non Farang touristic place with a very nice beach, we pay, at the beach in a restaurant-bar, 80THB for a small beer (Chang-Leo) and 120THB for the big bottle. We even have a beer bar were we pay only 40THB small and 65THB big bottle. I don't know were in Belgium I can drink a 33cl beer for less than 4Euro in a bar at the beach. The places I am talking about don't have 'garniture' with what I mean: don't have bargirls to help you drinking your beer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombat Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 so that makes all those countries 3rd world countries, if the booze is cheaper than LOS, pity the WWW (wicked white women) are so ugly with bad attitudes it'd nearly be worth going mongering if they weren't 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a box of 18 X 440ml cans for £13 in Tescos. £0.72 a can. Obviously pub/bar and supermarket prices are different. Not drinking those 'wonderful' 3 litre plastic bottles of White Lightning or Frost Jack's? ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravip Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) Super market, restaurant and star class hotel beer prices vary internationally, don't they? Some Club prices could give one a massive shock! Anyways, these quoted prices are questionable. Edited March 19, 2021 by ravip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eggzthaioz Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 When I arrived in Thailand in 1975 I thought beer was expensive then. So I asked a Thai friend and he told me beer had quite a high tax on it. In those days hardly any Thais drank beer. It was mostly those rich Farangs who at the time were GIs at the various bases around Thailand and the ones flying in on R&R from Vietnam. Amarit beer was my favourite.

In country areas you buy in 4, 5 or 20 liter containers, I've paid (for the family) 50,000 kip or 165 Baht for 4 liters .... then there is a variety of mixtures with Ginseng in it, lizards, scorpions, snakes, even a small bear in one large jar I saw once ... all priced according ... either way, its a cheap way to get drunk .... plus one step closer to a Kidney transplant ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who buy a 6 pack are paying for half a box of what 24 beers would normally cost you, so best to pay the extra $20 for the extra 12 beers on top of the other $20, 6 pack that you would have forked out $40, i.e. $40 for 12 beers buying them in 6 packs or $40 for 24 beers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rott Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Downtown Bangkok has always been pricey for beer, in bars, pubs, restaurants etc so nothing new there.

Popular Post madmitch Posted March 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2021 I've just read the source article and this study really is totally meaningless. They haven't even visited the countries to get the information. using online sources. They then take the price of a beer in a supermarket (Heineken or Corona are the beers quoted as being used in the study), the price of the same beer in a hotel and calculate the average price of the two. If a student used this model in GCSE maths they'd certainly fail! All in all, absolute BS! 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Media licence, Bangkok = Thailand. At Bang Saen market a large Chang to have with your food is 60 baht, or Leo at 65. Most restaurants around here are 70 - 90 for a large Chang. A couple of weeks ago I had a large Singha in a fairly trendy bar in Bangkok and that was 110 baht, so the OP is not entirely representative of Bangkok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
