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. 2 hours ago, actonion said: 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......

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.

Pattaya57 Posted June 9 Author Share Posted June 9 9 hours ago, Banana7 said: 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.
