150 Baht now for a big Chang

[moontang]

All local small bottles for 42 THB on Sukhumvit soi 11...... first they need to learn how to refrigerate beer, but at least there is hope.  Seen large Singhas for 90 on KSR, but apparently soap is quite expensive.

Im just not "happy" about paying a 200 % mark-up on beer prices .

When , a few years ago , they were charging 80-90 Bart for a large Chang 

I would quite happily spend a 1000 Baht for a night out

These days , two beers and thats it 

If you must drink that disgusting stuff then buy it from the supermarket.

Cripes that's cheap. Where do you drink? In front of the cooler at the 7/11?

I guess not because 7/11 will not sell a large leo that cheap

Will this affect your retirement extension?

OP should not worry as the Thai greed will soon put prices around 300 THB for 1 single drink....btw...a whiskey-coke already costs around 300 THB if not a bit more in some Bangkok clubs like Levels or Insanity so others will soon follow...until they will have no customers left.

recently joined friends at pubs near ramkamhaeng university. 4 large chang bottles 240 baht.

You are right about the price but I do not agree with no customers left.  If people will pay it that is not greed, but what the market is accepting.

 

These BKK clubs are still very popular and mostly now 2 week millionaires who want to party and hook up.

Mostly now seems low number of falang attendees.

I use to be one many years ago and cared less about a drink price. Most residents however, seem to know better.

Accrington stanley v Huddersfield town in the F.A cup final ?

   Yes, I dont have a television ( Well, I do have one in my room, just never switched it on)
Now its 450 Baht for three beers in two hours .
Its quite funny really , when the beers were 75 Baht , I used to go out for a night and easily spend 1000 Baht , now the beers are 150 , I just take 300 Baht out with me .
     A few years ago when the exchange rate was better and Changs were 75 Baht , that was the equivalent to 1 Pound 50 .
    Now its nearly 4 Pounds

Funny you say that, me and her have a nice fancy slim tv
But we watch everything via our ipads these days
The tv is slowly becoming redundant it seems !

Can't drink the Elephant Piss Chang since they changed the formula a few years back and went to the awful green bottle. However...totally on-board and in absolute agreement with your post and points. I've been complaining about the meteoric rise in prices here for damn near a decade. Walked out of a go-go in Cowboy years ago when saw the price of a small Chang was ฿140. Imagine they are close to ฿200 by now. 

Leo is ok,but i will stick with Chang
Singha is awful !

Rip off Pattaya - time and time again. I hate the place and have only made 2 very short visits in the 20 years I have been living in the North of Thailand.

Me and you both

   "Cheap Charlie" is a derogatory term used by prostitutes to "shame" potential customers into buying them drinks in bars .
  I have never heard that term used outside the bar scene

You pay more for the rent, staff, lighting, aircon etc.  If you don't want to pay for all that buy a four pack from 7/11 and sit at home. Personally I expect to pay and can walk if I don't like it.

Agreed. I'll pop out to a pub to watch a sports match or something, but if I'm having a beer by myself, I'd way rather do so from the comfort of my own couch.

Well that's true but many like to go out and meet new 'friends'. I do both  ????

[bristolgeoff]

A few yrs back had a Sangsom coke was over the top had to pay I ordered it.should have checked the menu.left when finished.will still have drink round the area but check the menu first before I order.that bar is still there but not really a power bar to drink at now.the blue sky bar is a fair price bar to drink at in a previous comment.the boxing ring is cheaper to drink at too than the one who charged me too much.but you should always get the price first
