i do have some good sin memories from about 30+ years ago before it became sterllized and over the top expensive..

My last trip to Singapore was about then and I thought it was sterile and expensive - however not as bad as the prices you mentioned.

A Pint in the Cotswolds in UK a tourist destination,  can be had for  3 gbp,  a small Chang in East Pattaya  50 to 60 baht, so there is not cheap 

How long ago did you experience that? 2 years ago in a small town south west of London the minimum in a Wetherspoons was about £3.75 and all the other places were around a fiver......

5 yrs ago my job kept me in Marriott on Orchard Rd. I had a 50 SD a week free food deal. At the curb side bar the 50 SD would get me 2 bloody marys when I got off work in the morning after a long 12 hr shift. Coronas ran about 15 SD.

Yes I can believe that. Just to be clear I was not disputing recent/current Singapore prices.

80 baht for a Leo or Chang small bottle is pretty pricey. In LK metro, some bars have the small bottles for 50-55 baht. Even Beach Road bars sell for the smalls for 70 Baht.

If you're just looking for the cheapest bar for beer then sure. You could even try Nikom Court 50 metres away where you serve yourself 50 baht beers.

 

I found Las Vegas complex to have great atmosphere, nice air-con, good live band and lots of friendly attractive waitresses. Price of beer at 70-80 baht was very reasonable for that atmosphere.

And bloody uncomfortable seating...and I,m a small chap....

Plenty of nearby places with live music/aircon and comfortable seats AND cheaper prices....the place is like a works canteen

[BigStar]

Now if they replicated Las Vegas Go-Go in all its incomparable sleaze, that would be something. Alas.

If you consider 80 baht for a beer too expensive, then I guess canteens is where you usually hang out, so you probably know everything about the environment there

nikom is a good spot but good luck getting a good seat on counter during peak months...also no air, self serve, lots of motorcy and gas fumes no music no gals other than occasional few that pass by....but for sure a good place to drink and watch the scenery assuming you can get a decent seat don't need service or a/c or gals.....small beers 50 large 70...

I never stated 80 baht was too expensive....I stated other places and cheaper

And as for the canteen comment it fits Las Vegas perfectly.....

 

p.s. have you ever actually been in the place?

[Sandboxer]

Their drink prices are very reasonable too...

 

 

sangsom 80baht, are they having a laugh, a bottle is 280b in 7/11, out of that you get 30 25ml measures - that is 10b a drink, add a splash of coke and it is 13baht at the very most, considering a beer is about 40baht to buy they make 40baht on a beer, who did the maths on sangsom, very obviously an idiot

I agree

 

the idea is a great one but poorly implemented and it has been closed for a week........something not right, maybe a police shake down but I wonder

Closed altogether?  I'd seen reports of it being closed about 12:30am but thought it was maybe closing earlier than before.

It  was pretty busy when I had a night out about 10 days ago. I had walked through earlier when it was quiet and there were some very attractive girls enticing customers. AC is refreshing.

Reported as being open at 8:30pm last night but closed again by shortly after midnight, which ties in with the midnight closing mentioned a couple of posts up.

[TaaSaparot]

Been closing around Midnight every night this week, which is seemingly down to a paperwork problem.
