I ordered 100 grams of Thai Stick from a vendor for 799 baht. It was bud, not brick so I can't see why anybody would pay 3k for 100 grams of brick. He also sells compressed brick at 1,500 Baht per kilo. I don't know what that's like as I've not tried it but the bud certainly does the job. It's obviously not as well trimmed as the top shelf stuff that's grown indoors and it's a little 'agricultural' in comparison but it does the job. I'd estimate I need to smoke maybe 2 or 3 times as much of it compared to something like monster cookies, in order to achieve a similar high. But it's 100 times cheaper.
