130 for a small San Miguel light in a music bar in walking street not long ago.  More than 3 times retail seems excessive IMO.

 

It seems to me to be excessively cheap and wrong to think paying 4 bucks for a beer that a person is going to nurse for and hour while they sit and listen to live music is too much.

WOW, OK.

Hey, maybe do not leave a tip if it makes you feel better....

Is 46 cost or retail.  If it cost 46 I guess 7/11 sell it at cost.

There is no wholesale. Price in supermarket is same as 7-11, and same from so called wholesale places. Sometimes 7-11 is even cheaper than the wholesale places

Exactly!   But unless you try and fail you'll  have wasted all your anger.

 

The other poster had the perfect solution which was to buy cheap beer and  drink it in front of a 7-11.

 

WOW.

    We are not talking about any bars selling Chang for 52 Baht .

The girly bars are quite often up for sale , the bars that charge high prices and are usually empty .

    Its the well run bars that offer food and drink at reasonable prices that tend to do well

I am not surprised you would consider bars selling beer at cost to be well run and of course it’s busy, beats paying same price and drinking at 7-11.

 

Sadly these bars are hardly well run , more of a cashflow model. Good to sell when showing figures to someone with no clue .

 

Well run businesses do not run on selling things at cost and throwing in free food. 

 

But it as I said , no doubt cheap Charlie’s find it a “well run business” how else can you get a free meal with cost price beer

If you are a bar owner, i can understand your frustration.

Perhaps it's just me, but, more often than not, i have the sensation that i should the one to be paid a drink for bothering to talk with those ladies

 

Maybe that's why you never get shouted out for a drink.

Says the bar owner with excessive prices

[soistalker]

Who wants to sit in a bar talking to some old slapper asking you: "where you from? How long you stay Thailand? First time? Where you stay? You have lady? You like lady thai? You buy me drink?"

I would rather have molten lead poured into my ears than listen to that and the games she is thinking of running on me.

    Did you reply to the right post ?

I didnt say that bars selling beer at cost price would mean that they are "well run" .

You were the one who mentioned selling beer at cost price , not me .

    I have never seen a bar selling beer at cost price and I wouldnt expect them to do neither .

   I also didnt suggest or mention anything about "free food"

You must have replied to the wrong post

My goodness,  you really don't understand scarism do you?

 

Good luck in finding a cheap place to buy your beer.

 

Please post the results for  those wanting or needing it.

    You are correct , I have no idea what "scarism" is .

150 Baht is expensive for a large Chang , when other bars are selling them for 100-120

What exactly would you consider to be reasonable ?

 

clearly 200% mark up is not reasonable in your opinion .

 

Leo is 36 baht cost, so 45 baht would be reasonable?

 

as according to some 79 is already a rip off.

 

got to hate all those capitalist working 12-16 hour days and expecting not only to break even at the end of the month but also take home some profit 

[HAKAPALITA]

Stop quoting 7/11 prices, its hard enough for me to find room to sit on the steps as it is.

Well,  all you hansum men that like to troll us "oldtimers".........I can tell you one thing :

Back then the beer was cold and the girls were hot !!   And both were affordable !!

From what i read now,  the beer is warm and the girls are cold.

Ok. That part was exaggeration, but I know I'm might be only one. I'd rather pay them to leave me alone.

Complete nonsense argument, no police payments in that area as well. No huge rents, minimal electric as of no AC, most no tv + no salary for staff in most places. 

In major cities you are not paying 150 for a small bottle either. That is what I pay for a whisky or wodka + mixer and often even less. Clubs are expensive anywhere, can't compare that with bars nor with CM.

It is simply greed and trying to make up revenue after having fck** up themselves, I also see this pricing behaviour at certain bars in ''drink plaza's'' around BKK (soi 22) and Pattaya (anywhere).

The ones that know to manage cashflow and run a bar,
are only growing & without prices having been increased (much).

You are not just paying for the beer. It is not a 7/11. Cheap Charlies seem to suffer from an intelligence deficit.  Bars have all kinds of overheads, bills,  maintenance costs, staff payroll expenditure, cleaning costs, furniture, licence costs, utility bills etc etc. These cheap Charlies are not being ripped off as no one forces them to go there. I think a bit of self awareness might come in handy: you are not wanted at such bars. You bring people down with your drab clothes and churlish attitudes and your ultra frugal lifestyle. Penny pinchers are irritating and depressing company.  Nobody wants them in their bars. Take a hint: the higher prices are in part designed to deter Cheap Charlies.

In the go go's you get to sit with a relatively pretty young thing up the back while exploring her body.. In the short 10 minutes before she goes dance again but the price is worth it for sure

Don't know what happens in beer bars as I only go to no hassle bars

    100 Baht would be reasonable .

So on a 70 baht bottle you think 30 baht profit is reasonable and enough to cover rent , wages , electric , water, internet, cable tv, police payments, sign tax , up keep and licences?

 

And if it’s not enough , it’s not your concern really , after all you primary concern is getting cheap booz so you can watch some sports.????

I'm OK paying that.

It cost me a lot more in the UK when I was a teenager.

     A big Chang is 51 Baht from 7/11 , and you can probably get it a bit cheaper wholesale .

I dont think that the 50 Baht profit will cover rent , wages , water , internet , cable TV etc .

   The idea to to sell numerous beers , rather than just one bottle

In the West (oz upmarket strip clubs ) it's 2000 baht for a 10 minute lap dance. Dare to touch and your thrown onto the street head first

 

130 seems outstanding value

I wont be going back there again .

Mamasan was quite friendly, endless "jokes" about sex

I just wanted to sit and watch the sport .

300 Baht for two big Changs ?

Goodbye

 

Sorry buddy but that is the way everything will go because Thailand is now in the Assian

 

what is that? I hear you say,

well what it really is, is a carbon copy of the European Union where cultures get destroyed and prices go ever upwards and all of it is at the behest of politicians who live a wonderful expense account life payed for by hard working, honest but sadly stupid people who have no idea of what these same politicians have signed them up to.

 

It is nothing more than a merry go round of heavy taxation and dictatorial rules forced upon all by totally unaccountable scumbags.

 

we can already see the influence of the Assian by the steady removal of street food stalls (goodbye culture) under the guise of “tidying up the streets” but really it is happening because it is difficult to tax the people who trade in the street.

 

Before the nay sayers have a go at me, just wait and you will see the truth in what I am saying, but if you can’t wait then just look at the example of Europe and the loss of culture there.

And that is why there are people in business and people who whine about few baht pretending to understand what business is.

 

would not surprise me if bar put higher price to avoid having tight, whining asses
