Your logic is not wrong at all. first it 22 bath hike per bottle. that will make approx 55 go to 77. After that I gues we have to calculte the 430 Bath. That will make the same amount as you say. It will stay under a 100 Bath per bottle, but saomhow the shop I just bought it in charged me 118. I just bought a bottle of premium beer .a large bottle of Federbrau for B63 at Tesco /Lotus express .I am expecting the price to be B61 by Monday .The Nation newspaper explained the increase per bottle .Premium beer is going down B2 a bottle according to them .

Their customers should remember their dumbness once the truth finally comes out. Sounds like he is getting ripped off, should go and check prices at a 7-11.

I just do not care about what I pay for the beers. Just over happy that some people just can´t afford it nomore. The price will come back down once everyone realises they're ripping people off and charging twice what everyone else is. this will probably happen around Tuesday next week.

alien365 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Good to see the people in charge of this have brought their, sorry I mean the premium whiskey prices down.

B4Jazz Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 48 minutes ago, Alidiver said: 430 baht per litre of alcohol. Say a beer is 5% then the increase would be 430/20 = 21.5 baht for a litre. Not sure of my logic as it seems an incredible hike. That's is not the increase that is the new duty, you need to deduct the old duty first. Then you have to the other tax which is on the retail price. Apparently increase is about 2.6 baht per large bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blinky62 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 The way I read it based on volume a beer at .375l x .05 alcohol x 420baht = 7.87 baht per bottle (small) I dont understand however if they intend that, plus 22% of retail value. Either way I'm sure the local and ferlang bar owners will be hiking their price by far more and blaming the tax hike! EDIT just re read it and it appears its both! Might be something like 40 baht x 22% plus 7.87 baht for the volume = 16.67 Baht tax!When you go to the 7/11 tomorrow they will tell you xxx baht for your little bottle of beer [emoji482]. That's how much it cost . Have two choices , beer or water .Sent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how about if they raise 'Fuel' Tax by 100% or double the cost of rice to start paying the poor farmer 'fairly'........ Any comment................. For me I can afford to pay for the few 'vices' i have, but as I pay these increased prices my eyes are wide open at see and think about...... WHY..... If I am Paying to support some poor parents in Issan or younger siblings to go to school...... I don't think twice..... But when the Thai Government tries to get in my pocket........ and I know none of the money will make it to the 'poor'............ I will shift my spending accordingly...... and buy as little as possible..... and re-route my money to the Poor in Issan, as best i can............

tomacht8 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) This is by far the most stupid, the most worst organized tax increase I experience in my whole life.1000 different prices, everybody calculate as he wants, the intermediate traders have no idea how to calculate and the end user is ripped off.
