easyride Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 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.

TheWalkingMan Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to not keeping a tab, maybe she has had some bad experiences so no more credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asianrider Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 More than enough bars in Pattaya, vote with your feet ........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joskydive Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moo9 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 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. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patklang Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 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.

rak sa_ngop Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 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!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
