Please see the receipt from the Blues Bar in Bangkok - https://maps.app.goo.gl/75Uh9S5842jWWQny6?g_st=ac

 

They are charging 160 Thai baht for a small bottle of Chang beer. This could be the most expensive in Thailand, can anyone trump this price?

The drinks at Sky Bar Bangkok are expensive for Bangkok standards, but it is important to remember that you are paying for the unrivaled views of the city and the exclusive atmosphere. Additionally, the higher drink prices at Sky Bar help to keep the crowds away as it is by far the most famous rooftop bar in Bangkok.

Prices for drinks range anywhere from about ฿300 to ฿850 THB

Bars are strange places with strange people.

I know a few guys who live around the corner, in another gated housing estate. I see these guys, huddled together every afternoon, drinking, talking, no chicks, just old angry men, bloody hilarious. 😂

Is there entertainment at the Blues Bar?

 

If you just want a Chang beer you can get one cheaper at 7-11.

 

 

Hit those Jomtien and Pratumnak bars with 39 baht bottles before 7 pm if you want cheap beer.

Does he not check drink prices before ordering?

You fresh off the boat?
Was there a cover charge for the live music? No.

Suggest you join a 7-Eleven street party.

Not even close to most expensive small Chang.  Did you really have to bring Trump into the thread 🙄

 

They offered, nobody forced you to buy one.

Exactly. But you need to keep a close watch on the number of empties otherwise..

Yikes! I hope your money on the bank didn't go less than 800,000 baht?

A Chang at 160 baht is fairly normal for an upmarket joint. Heineken is around 180-200 at upmarket places. IMO Chang and Singh suck. And Leo is pure dishwater. Glad Heineken is around. Carlsberg if necessary. Heineken draft is the best IMO - the pubs on Soi Nana sometimes have a price war for draft at happy hour - as low as 99-119 baht for a pint of Heini.

To be fair to the OP though, I know the area that bar is in. It's in the Khao San Road vicinity - probably a five minute walk from that bar. So it's backpacker area.

Who in their right mind would pay 160 baht for Chang? 🤮 

 

I'd rather pay the 90 baht more for a Heineken.

 Op, I was paying 2-300 for a small Thai dishwater beer 20y ago in the Banyan Tree. 160 baht even in a slightly above standard place in Bkk is probably fairly normal now, since Thailand is grossly overpriced on the alcohol front. Look at it in comparison with similar Vietnamese places. 
As for Lebua Tower, great views but they charge those stupid prices ‘because they can’ and it was in Hangover 2. It is way more expensive than the Baccarat Bar under Harrods, for instance, which is proper class. 

Probably standard price for a beer joint where you don't have to chase the heifer off the bar stool.

Had  a beer  with a friend in a Music bar along Beach Rd.. Pattaya a while back, we both  ordered  just one small Leo each, check bin time, his beer was more expensive than mine by 10b, we asked why, the Mama san said   because your friend sit closer to the music than me..

Heineken tastes of nothing, and is so weak even Americans can drink it.
