Monkeybeag Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Hi folks Following on from the tobacco thread, can anyone tell me the typical prices of western brand cigs on KS? Not interested in the fake ones, thanks - had a bad experience with them before! Also, if anyone knows the difference in price between the shops and the duty-free at BKK or KS airports? Hoping to stock up a bit, but if the diff. in price is small, I'd rather spend the money on KS & be able to put them in my case, rather than carry a duty-free bag through several airports on the way home. Many thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks in advance I know marlboro light is a "fake one" or at least a different from the one in the west, althought i like it more here! But how about Marlboro red? To me that is exatly the same as home. Or it is also fake? I dont know. Marlboro red: 70 Baht. I bet thats not what you mean, hahaha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeybeag Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 Marlboro Red and Bensons are both fine. Thank you, folks. Assume these are readily available in 7-11's and suchlike? Very happy with those prices, it means I can spend a bit more with a local shopkeeper than some anonymous Duty-Free giant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattias33 Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Assume these are readily available in 7-11's and suchlike? Marlboro red are availible in some 7/11, family marts and Tesco lotus. Dont know about Benson..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Major Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Some 7-11's sell Bensons but not all. SaverMart (think that's what it's called) in central Chaweng, just down from MacDonalds sells the widest range I've seen....B & H, Dunhill, 555, John Player Special, Marlboro.....

Monkeybeag Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 Excellent. I'll have a look in there - thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebell Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 (edited) As the topic is open....anyone know if you can get superslim cigarettes like Vogue or Capri here? They do sell Vogue at the airport duty-free in International Departures but no luck finding them on general sale. I know, I know......just give up the fags! I'll say it before someone else does.

Shrubbery Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 A Carton of B & H at the Duty Free shop is between 500 -550 Baht. (Can't remember what I paid last time) Be aware that for a while there were no B & H and other Western brands available at the DF shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iian23 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 savermart in the centre of chaweng has been the cheapest place for ciggs that i have ever found on samui. I have bought bensons to take home and they have always been good ciggs. Dont buy from 7 11 they are more expensive than places like savermart.
