Ridge Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Is there an agreement amongst bar owners to set the prices for beer. Like a chang is 60 up (no glass/ice) ? If somebody were to ask say 45 in the bottle and 50 with glass/ice, would he get in trouble ? What's your take ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehelmsman Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Sounds like you're gearing up for start up, will you be having some music to go along with the 45 bht beers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehelmsman Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Selling beers for 45 bht is what 10 bht profit....maybe a few bht more. Can you sell 100 btl/day plus the odd mixed drink. Mighty slim $$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overherebc Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Of course every bar charges the same price for a beer. Too few customers, too many bars. Nobody wants to start a price war. Why do you think the BanChang 'round/oval table' exists. Sit, talk whatever and pay half the price for your beer. Same friends who enjoy each others company with a few beers. Don't see a problem with it. Why pay twice the price for a beer just to have some bird who can't have a minimal conversation with you serve you. Lets be honest, maybe 1 from 50 might actually like you but maybe that like is based on the tip you leave!!!. 99% of the time myself and a couple of friends get together and cook at home and make food that is way ahead of the pub grub in BC. If we go out to eat it's beach places around the area where a large bottle of beer is 75 to 90 baht. Could go on but I'm going to bed. Gnite.??

Ridge Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 OverhereBC, That's the reason for asking about price setting. Nothing wrong with making money, but 60 bath for a bottle in a condom... come on. Very often there is not even a minimal conversation. She goes back in the kitchen or hides behind her smartphone, talks to her friend... Ok, 60/70 bath + tip makes more money per bottle than 45. Unless at 45 you can sell 4 x more. So why is nobody doing it ? Price agreement ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehelmsman Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 The "Round Table" spot started at a time of no other bars in the area. But, today it exists simply because it's cheaper. It offers everything a drinking man needs with exception of music. Cold beer, condoms, right in the center of a busy round-a-bout. If you go to a bar in the afternoon, the chances are you will be the only customer and that's if.......they are open. So for all the good natured ribbing that is directed at the "Round table" guys, I'll be submitting my application when I stay there full time in the near future. Are their any requirements to be met?

Reasonable sized beer belly, maybe a couple of health issues you can discuss at length with others, perhaps some knowledge about the premier league. Those should get you at least an intro. A small capacity motorcycle as transport with preferably a local lass who can handle your weight on the back seat to get you home is maybe a good idea.

Ridge Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 Is there a "round table" at night ? I dont drink during the day other than a quick wisky-coke around 10 am and a can of Chang late afternoon. Have things to do around the house, swim and ride mtb. Take the motorbike for a spin... Wife cooks great food. Anyways, usually not free for a drink or 2/3 and a chat untill 9 pm. I like the concept of thr round table. Get it, pay for it, drink it and <deleted> off when you are done.

Some of them do have the cash behind them to drink in other bars but a bit like me don't see the point in spending just to make someone who runs a bar with a few hoo----s richer.

balo Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Beers should be 50 baht in non-aircon bars and 60 baht with ac. Most bars in Pattaya seem to be around that price , at least during happy hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huangnon Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 (edited) ^Pattaya is more of a "punter's market", due to (too much) competition, and better supply lines. Hence the much cheaper prices. Having said that, a lot of the Banchang "Strip" bar owners are still thinking that it's still the mid 90's with a load of Oil & Gas expats around with lots of money in their pockets. Thus, a lot of those place are up for sale, and change hands regularly. The demographic is now mostly expat retirees and / or people living on a lower budget.
