Given the horror story prices I have seen quoted in the last couple of days, I am quite relieved. Lot of people been getting worked up over what has turned out to be next to nothing. That's for the cheap local brew. For better and imported beer, as it says' it will be between 0.99 to 2 baht. Mind you, you drink more than 1 bottle of beer per week... I figure, that each week for soft drinks and alcohol, it will add up to perhaps 50-100 baht on my grocery bill. And most shops will not just add 50 satang, but will round it up to 1 full baht.

I think price increases are partly due to be measured on baht / unit of pure alcohol (not the total about of the beverage). My local mom and pop shop charged me 35 baht for a can of chang yesterday. Today it was 43. Unless she went shopping this morning it should have been the same price until her stocks ran out. But she translated a 1 baht increase into 8 baht (on stock she bought weeks ago at the old price) I've been buying water, milk, beer, yakult, eggs etc from her for 2 years primarily to support the locals over the 711 cp guys. Hope she enjoys that 8 baht because it will cost her several thousands of baht in the coming months. Muppets.

They are relying on punters not knowing what the real prices should be. They will be out of business if they try to overcharge when the show up the road is 5-10 baht cheaper.

coulson Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 The increase on imported wine is ridiculous. Already extortion to get a nice bottle, now will be just not worth it. This is a direct tax on tourists. Once again, Thailand missing the bigger picture, convincing tourists to slowly but surely consider elsewhere.

wakeupplease Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 7 hours ago, thedemon said: On the surface at least, it appears to me that differentiating the tax between locally produced and imported wine breaks the Free Trade Agreements that Thailand has signed with Australia and New Zealand unless wine from those 2 countries is treated as local for tax purposes. Watch this space. Just get NZ to put 300% tax on Thai Rice and that will set the cat loose, why do they put up with this tax to stop competition? time for all countries to react on this.

Wonder how much she/he was charging Thais. I think a can's going up Bt2. You were ripped off. They try it on every time. The can would also be old stock and should still be at the old price.

Well the price difference will widen........imported wine goes up and locally made/produced here wine goes down. Hence bigger price differential. That's if the Siam Winery wine with fruit juice, produced here, falls under the "locally made" tag. and I think you'll find it does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tryasimight Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 7 hours ago, terryofcrete said: I know of countless Irish people who came to Thailand and could not believe how expensive wine is and that’s BEFORE this latest increase. A bottle of australian cheap wine like Jacob’s Creek is a real supermarket bargain wine in Ireland ( a longway from Australia) but it is TWICE the price in 7/11 in Thailand. And it is not a good wine. Members of my own family have said they so much enjoy their glass of good wine that they could not contemplate coming back here on holiday. Add to that the ban on e-cigarettes.... well you get the picture. Your family are all alcoholics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
