Kaopad999 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 But if you can't afford beer, then at least there is always Lao Khao, and then a step above that, a bottle of SangSom for 149 THB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have such a wide wealth divide in Thailand you cannot use Bangkok prices as representative of those of the country. Completely misleading article... again 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sujo Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Its important info for me. I dont care what beer costs in the shops, i havent bought a beer from a shop or drank at home for over a decade. what interests me is the cost of beer in the bars. I decide all my holiday destinations on cost of beer and women. The strong baht is also a reason thailand has slipped down my preferred holiday destination list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmen Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 1 hour ago, 4MyEgo said: 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. What regular oz beer is $40? You been away a long time right. Of course any box beer is cheaper but without a car it's not always practical. I like to occasionally grab a 6pack and walk down to the beach. Carrying a carton might attract some unwanted new friends. ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shackleton Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Now retired the last thing I think about is the price of beer I drink the Chang a couple of big bottles a night When I go out to the restaurants the beer is fairly priced Here in Thailand When you think of the cost in the UK pubs or London compared to Bangkok ?

Sydebolle Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 The same statement applies also on cars; for the price of a top range pick-up you get a middle class BMW or an upper class Japanese limo. In addition to this you have to look, how long it takes a local to earn a beer or how many months/years they have to work for the same car model. Here it is clear, someone has to pay for the submarines of survival importance to the national security, which went sub-less for the last 55 years before and Prawatch‘s little toys on his arm most likely also did not come free; his deceased friend did not win them in the washing detergent lucky draw either ..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toofarnorth Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 As above so below. The only beer I really like here is Beerlao Dark. , best I can do is the other day I got a pack from Makro at 65B per bottle. Local off licence here it is 75B , ah but their 18 yo Sangsom is 160B . Reason for this is it is old ,18 years old so they have to sell it cheap which suits me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUNROAMIN Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 See Australian wine in Thailand for 700- 800B per bottle. Pay 250- 350B in oz. Same brand and type. Huge import tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalblue Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Here in Minnesota. Minnesota Gold Lager about 18 USDs for 24/12 oz cans, 10 dollars for 12/16 oz cans Hamms is 17 USD for 30/12 oz cans Microbrews a lot more expensive. Standard beers like Budweiser, Miller, Coors, run about 24 usd for 24/12 oz cans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaan sailor Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Expensive beer creates a problem for poor Thai people. Instead of buying beer (which can fill you up quickly), they buy lo kow whiskey—cheaper, stronger and more dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedhump Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Average price? This no doubt includes imported western beers which will push the average price up hugely, as most of them are obviously more expensive than local. Also there are many foreign labels to include and cost out, again pushing up the average. What a non-survey. Thailand is great and still cheap for those of us that don't want to eat and drink in BKK's Soi 13 or whatever every day of the week. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
