Popular Post BestB Posted July 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2019 Because cost of doing business keeps going up and up and you also do not know what prices they paid at what rate. Could be stock bought and paid 2-3 years ago and the most common why make cheaper price when people always bought and paid previous prices 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackdd Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) Why should they make it cheaper? People paid the price before and will pay it now. That the shop can buy it for less means just more profit for the shop. Price agreements between shops are just common practice in Thailand.

natway09 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 It happens in all countries not just Thailand. It is called price gouging. When the Baht was 60 to the quid you think that Singha beer was cheaper in the UK ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwill Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I don't live in a tourist town. And just today talking to some people they were complaining about the bad economy. Their wages have dropped to 250-280/day now from 300/day. And prices at the local market are going up too. So they are getting hit on both sides.
