chrisinth Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 We own a Minimart and this will be some of the new prices as per my wife. Beer and cigarettes up Leo 58 now up to 110฿ Chang 57 now up to 118฿ Good luck with that my friend. There are always those that will take advantage of government tax rises, but to almost double the price of a product?As said good luck with that, your wife shouldn' t need a monk to predict your future in sales of alcohol......

jody davis Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I am unsure where she came up with the new pricing. This is just what she sent me by Line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anythingleft? Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 For the government to ratify the increase and say that there will be a "moderate increase and the retail prices would not be significantly increased" one can only assume there are a lot of operators out there that clearly do not understand how the tax is being imposed.There could be a new thread with the most outrageous prices seen and quoted in the coming days until this becomes clearer...Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is stupid is that despite having fruit juice added, the ABV is no different to pure wine! Will protect and increase their market share as will be cheaper esp when compared to imported wine (non fruit juice added). See my post on another thread............ The details are as following: The tax per bottle of wine priced above Bt1,000 will be Bt110 upwards, depending on the price. The tax on locally made wine will decrease by Bt25 per bottle Ah yes.........have to ensure that the extremely wealthy and influential/well connected owner of a certain winery here can benefit from increased sales. After all got to keep his son on the run and buy him a new Ferrari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask her about the proposed increase in licence fee for retailers to sell alcohol from less than 2,000 baht per annum to 50,000 baht. Is she going to still sell booze or is that another scare story well off the mark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jody davis Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Just like every business in Thailand that charges the same for a product that every other does we charged the same as our competitors. Remember, we have to buy from a distributor and mark up from their price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will go to the minimart down the road that is selling at 60 baht. I just went to buy a box of Chang at our local wholesalers. She sold to me today for the existing price (568). She told me that tomorrow it will be 592. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranky Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 22 hours ago, prakhonchai nick said: Chances are that you would have considerably more money to start with in the UK than here in Thailand. And your girlfriend would make considerably more than 300bt/day, should she work! Bottle of Beck's in Sainsbury's UK - 28 baht (case of 20). Excellent wine; a tenner. Fact is, it is cheaper to live in the UK if you like a beer, a nice wine and a fridge full of quality cheese. Like-for-like day-today living, the UK is cheaper than here (reformed smoker or that might tip the balance at a tenner a pack) The difference is, you CAN live really cheap here if you wish to. But, once I chuck in the ridiculous cost of private education and the idiotic cost of a decent motor.. f it, I'm off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SymS Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) I can't believe how they managed to confuse everybody with those new taxes so badly. Poor communication.

I understood a bottle of beer was to be upped by 2.66 Baht in tax so where does the other 40+ baht come from? Have I missunderstood the other postings, if so I am a mile off.... Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Besides the tax increase the mom and pop shops supposedly will take a hard extreme hit on license to sell. So the mom and pops shops have to recoup the increase. This is more than an increase but a full out assault and slap at Thailand and the Thai people who struggle to survive. The elite are hypocrites and racist against foreigners and their own people. So what else is new? Nothing, business and strangle hold for the military government as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decrease in tax on "locally" made wine vs the increase on imported wine shows Thailand believes they have a domestic wine category of significance to protect. While the tax break for locally made products isn't unusual in this country, the definition of "locally" made wine is. There are two or three large Thai companies that import wine in bulk from Europe or South America, finish the wine in Thailand and bottle it under their label. Mar y Sol by Siam Winery is a good example. In the rest of the world these wines would still have to be labeled for their Country of Origin (not Thailand). It's unclear if Thailand govt considers these wines to fall into the "locally" made or not. It would be of big financial advantage to the large Thai companies if these negotiant wines suddenly become locally made. It will be interesting to see if the price of Mar y Sol wines (299 thb) and similar wine prices go up or down or just stay the same (wholesaler taking the margin). For traditional bottled wines, honestly labelled and imported into Thailand we'll be getting the shaft with higher value wines all the moreso. Sticking it to the foreigner and Thais who develop an interest in quality wines because they can and probably encouraged by the owners (Red Bull, Singha, etc) of domestic Thai wine businesses.
