gerryBScot Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Recently my local dealer wanted to charge 1700b for a 49 kg bag of Triple AAA Pigeon Brand Jasmin Rice, this would work out at 1.4 baht per kilo less than buying it in small amounts, like 5 kgs. I thought I could expect a much more substantial discount for buying in bulk. Anyone out there able to enlighten me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotlost Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I'm being told (wife) that your price is in the ball park, also if the rice is of last years crop it will cost more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldfinger Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 ""was just expecting a lot more off but what do I know about these things!

(BTW, 1700 baht/49 kilo, how you get 1.4 Baht/kilo??) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re-read original post, he didnt say 1.4 baht per kilo, he says if he bulk buys its works out at a discount of 1.4 baht per kilo, eg on a 5 kilo bag he gets a discount of 7 baht.

suegha Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Rice has gone up in price in the last year or so it's unreal. Not too big a problem for me but I think of all the 'poorer' people for whom rice is the only staple. Life must be getting tougher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
