webfact 140384 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 File photo By Online Reporter One of Thailand’s leading breweries has announced an increase in the price of its beer. Mr. Phurit Bhirombhakdi, Chief Executive Officer of Boon Rawd Trading Co., Ltd. has revealed that the price of Leo beer will increase from July 1, citing rising costs in production, energy and fuel. Mr. Phurit said efforts had been made to maintain the price of Leo in order to reduce the impact on customers. However, rising costs meant that an increase in prices was now necessary. He added that Leo is the last beer brand to implement a price increase, with other brands having already announced increases earlier in the year.

Popular Post Dmaxdan 15062 Posted July 1 Popular Post Share Posted July 1 It was only a matter of time... Actually, I was fully expecting the price to stay the same, but the bottle size to decrease. It won't be long before a large bottle of beer will drop to 600ml. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Means fresh stock at Makro next, as they are rarely out. Edited July 1 by KhunLA 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Glasgow the contents of the tray was known as a 99. The original 99 I believe was from wringing the towels on the bar into glasses at closing time.

Popular Post daveAustin 17170 Posted July 1 Popular Post Share Posted July 1 Thai beer is already grossly overpriced and is very poor to boot. That is not thai bashing as it would be poor if it were Outer Mongolian. And when one lives in a place where you have little choice other than the ‘BIG’ three (), paying more for dishwater makes it taste that much worse. 9 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot more than that but most of them brew outside of Thailand to get around the laws here, then of course the extortionate import tax is paid. 3 Bears is a good example. Their beer was brewed to the Thai owner's recipe in Taiwan and imported into Thailand. It was just too expensive and the pub didn't survive very long. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
