Sang Som Up 100 Baht

[easyride]

My local bar has just slapped a 100 baht hike in the price of a bottle of sang som (to 600 baht) on top which now refuses to hold a tab for me. After 15 years of my patronage do you suppose she's dropping me a hint?

This time of year I'm one of thier few customers and when the bottle is finished so am I

And yes, I LIKE sang thip.

Recently, wasn't there a price increase in alcohol? Maybe the local took the increase, tripled it and passed it on to you. The tab refusal may have been a hint that you are no longer welcome...

Excise taxes on most booze just went up so this may be the reason...20% seems a little steep, however, in these tough times. As to not keeping a tab, maybe she has had some bad experiences so no more credit.

Find a new bar to do business with old chum, there's plenty of 'em who'll take your lolly during this low season recession.

More than enough bars in Pattaya, vote with your feet ........

Wow!!! I just paid 205 baht for a bottle of SangSom in Tesco Lotus. I guess she's making a tidy profit from you anyway but now wants the cash up front too. Time to vote with your feet mate.

Ask what the "Corkage" fee is if you bring your own?

Change the bar or drink something else. IMHO Saeng Som isn't good stuff anyway, however quite affordable.

I stopped to drink this stuff and switched to San Miquel lite. ;-)

Yeah I agree , freeze it & chew on it BUT vote with your feet

Still plenty of good priced bars without having to spend your money with that crook.Never actualy bought a full bottle of the stuff and left it in the bar to drink on another day,but probably drank a bottle at 65 baht a drink,now thats robbery.

FYI: my local bar in BKK has this week increased the price of a bottle of Sang Som from 800 baht to 1000 baht. Free mixers for the first day of purchase only. Count your blessings, or better still drink to them!!!!

1,000 Baht? That is outrageous, call the tourist police.

In Pattaya 75cl Johnnie Walker Red + free ice & Coke is 950 Baht

That Sang Som just gives you alcoholic hepatitis & turns you mental over the long term.

Business must be slow hence the price increase, economics Thai style!
