Can't buy any electronics at physical shops anymore. Why so much difference from online?

899 baht? That's 50% higher!  Outrageous!!!

Recently I sent away for a 48 pack of cat food. Each tin was the standard 400gms. Total cost, including delivery and tip, just over 1,300 baht. Same tins are in Big C marked up at 3 for 105 baht. Works out at 1680. Big C's own brand is 39 baht a tin. That would be; 1872 baht.

 

When I first was in Isaan, cat food in Tescos was 16 baht a can. In fact I bought some out-of-date 'Whiskers' for 12 baht a can from a shop in town.

 

And while we are talking food. 18% protein fish pellet was 245 baht a 20kg sack 13 years ago. Now is is around 400 baht. 

 

Some of the rise in cost, must be due to general inflation. But some of these companies are making a killing on pet food for sure.

 

I have designed an automatic fish feeder. Perfect for commercial fisheries. Pics available; just PM me.
