There is a bilateral agreement between Thailand and the Philippines, no imports tax on alcohol.

 

That is why whiskey and vodka from the Philippines are being sold at a very cheap price in Thailand.

As usual, it is smoke and mirrors. They only put the tax up on local beers and spirits two months ago. Now reduce it for a few months, then probably raise it even higher. The tax man, no matter what country, will never give up grabbing as much as possible.
