moontang Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

observer90210 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 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.

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.

KC 71 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 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 PoundsFunny you say that, me and her have a nice fancy slim tvBut we watch everything via our ipads these daysThe tv is slowly becoming redundant it seems !Sent from my iPad using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC 71 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 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 !

Popular Post BobBKK Posted June 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2019 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.
