jayceenik 253 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Right after the tax increase announcement I bought the last 5 Chang Classic big bottles on the shelf at BigC Central Rd at the old price. A few days ago I bought same at Friendship at new price : 48b. Link to post Share on other sites
sunshine51 14,617 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 My Thai wife tells me that her aunt's country store has beer & that the storage room behind has cases of recently purchased (before the price hike) in reserve. Where you live? Link to post Share on other sites

Foxglove 2 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 This tax hike is very confusing, on the 10th of this month I ordered new wine stock for my wife's shop from Siamwinery. They do the Mont Clair range, the local rep. said I can't have it until next month and he has no idea what the price will be. Surely large companies like this can work out the tax, or maybe the government are still unsure. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Chang_paarp 8,307 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Last I heard, the government had announced the tax increase and the date it is to start, but it is yet to go through parliament. (I could be wrong here.) So the problem is no one knows if the tax increase is going to happen. This would explain the confusion in the supply chain as to the cost. Link to post Share on other sites
PoorSucker 6,925 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 If you have a Makro close to you try them our one still have plenty beer at the old price. Makro Samui run out of beer last week. Link to post Share on other sites
