844 baht for a case of Tiger Light at Makro yesterday.

 

I also bought a litre of Smirnoff Vodka and it seemed to be around 80 baht cheaper than the last time.

Brilliant, bluemoon....... the first straight answer to my question.

I don't think so. They don't have the right soil. They don't have terroir. They won't hire expert winemakers from abroad. And the climate is marginal for wine. Not cold enough in the winter. 

 

And they are taxed at a far lower rate than imported wine, yet they still cannot succeed in producing anything drinkable. 

So you think Silverlake don't use foreign expertise?

39 replies - and not one correct answer.  ????

If it stops raining I think I should venture out the beer warehouse.

So the "beer" with no beer in it is more expensive than the beer WITH beer in it?

Who said it was "no beer" ?

I won't mention what Nookie means where I come from. 

I think we all know that ????

Although Nookiebear is the full title (because he is a grizzly old sod).... I am told that your understanding of the word is also applicable.

Great news that they have started brewing Heineken, Carlsberg, Guinness and Hoegarten in Thailand.....................

it's a good idea to ask online rather than wasting time driving/riding arond to compare prices. It is not laziness.

LOL.........obviously not on ASEAN. ????

I can understand the mass migration to other forums.????

On the Wishbeer website Tiger Light is 1,309 THB and San Mig Zero is 1,559 THB.

Thank you.

Unfortunately, that price includes delivery......I am pretty sure that Makro etc will sell for under 1,000 Baht.

....and you really think the customs department would take upon themselves to reduce duty by 50%....get real.

 

Patchara Anuntasilpa, director-general of the department, said the cuts are in accordance with the Sept 14 cabinet resolution involving plans to revive the post-Covid-19 economy by encouraging wealthy foreigners and highly skilled professionals to stay and work in the country.

They haven't been approved yet.

But if you want to believe hearsay, then up to you. I recommend TAT announcements if you really want to test fantasy vs reality.

Hang back......tax and duty to be reduced in the near future by 50%.

 

The idiots running the show think this will have the foreign millionaires queueing to get in.

 

Alcohol, cigar duty cuts

The Customs Department is preparing to lower duty on the import of alcoholic beverages and cigars by 50% for five years in line with the government's economic stimulus and investment promotion package.

1. I can't wait that long.

2. Nothing to do with your so-called idiots.......it is a proposal from the Customs Department.

Apologies for my laziness but I know many people have beer prices at their fingertips.

I am looking for the price for a box of 24 x 330 Tiger Light and also 24 x 330 San Miguel ZERO.

MAKRO or local beer wholesalers - just an indication.

A flash in the pan.....????

Everyone knows where I finished last year!

Clearly you haven't been there recently as they've nearly all gone home to Isaan.

My sources suggest that a few have started to return.

In any event, there were many who wouldn't go anywhere near a rice field or rubber tree plantation.

Decent food can be found here.  http://www.nookiesdelights.3baht.net/

Nookie delivers to Buriram every fortnight, the Buriram Pie Man's pies (and especially the steak & kidney puddings) are worth a try.

Friends speak highly of The Swan; good breakfasts/Sunday lunch at Jimmy's and a good craic at Lakeside bar. I am not up to date with Paddy's bar but my want to give that a try as well.

They will give you a new TM6.

Some offices want a police report for the lost the TM6. Not sure if Buriram wants one.

To save time it might be best to get the police report.

Does anyone know if Jomtien require a police report?

Interested to know which bit you consider accurate 

So would I but it looks like the gay police have swept up the thread.

Very sad seeing girls 16-24 years old after only months in the trade walking the streets like Dustin Hoffman in Rainman, likely scarred for life. A compassionate society would enforce the laws as written rather than pulling over every farang on a motorbike.

I don't know many any in Sin City that arrived as virgins.

From a tourist perspective , fully opened up means no restrictions in place.

So quarantine , covid insurance and the battery of tests need to go.

Domestic travel unrestricted , bars , restaurants and tourist sites/ attractions all fully open.

Personally I dont think there is the least chance of this happening until 60-70% of the Thai population is adequately vaccinated.

Perhaps early next year but I wouldn't bank on it , im hoping to get over around May.

Agree with all that.

But, given the demographics of Thailand, they could probably start to fully open up a few locations before that.

BKK do not charge for bank transfers from a UK bank.  

See also Bild766's post immediately B4 your post.

Bill did not say that - he referred to a transfer from Wise to Thailand (which most smart people do).

My comment was to clivebaxter who claimed not to have been charged a Thai bank fee on transfer from a UK bank. (NW in his case). BKK do charge.

Try this from the horses mouth.
