Backwoods Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 For those who asked before about Dr.Pepper, the main Villa Market on Sukumvet has Dr Pepper in stock again so get fast!! I am trying to get them to order Mt Dew also, and hoping to spend my salery on drinks again!!! Still 48 baht a can for those who are true fans!!!

gotlost Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I guess I'll have to fly down to BK for some Dr. P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbk Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Helpful post for those who live in Bangkok, thanks OP. And for those of us who may find ourselves there shortly. Snarky comments really are so unnecessary when someone is trying to be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I have to admit that I just don't get this obsession with Dr. Pepper - although I do like it. A&W Root beer is just as good and about 15 baht! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padfoot Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Dr. Pepper has a completely different taste than root beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphodbeeblebrox Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 That's pricey for Dr. Pepper. I'm not a big enough fan to lay out US$1.50 per can. I might lay that out for some Squirt or other grapefruit soda, however. I would also pay some good money for the better flavors of Gatorade, but I've only seen a few flavors sold here. I don't much care for the A&W sold in stores in Thailand, although the soda is good when bought at their restaurants here. The soda market in Thailand is abysmal. So little choice.

padfoot Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 That is pricey, but Dr. Pepper is one of my favorites so I sprung for four cans. I agree that the variety of pop sold here is abysmal. I do miss all the variety available in the states. But I imagine there is just not a large enough market here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonobo Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I bring back 48 cans of Diet Dr. Pepper with me on each trip from the US. The problem is that diet drinks made with aspartame have a shelf life of about 90 days. So if I am not going to be in the US for awhile, I have to make do with Pepsi Max. As far as the price, people who wouldn't hesitate to plop down 100 baht for a beer seem to hesitate to pay 50 for a Dr. Pepper. No problem with that, but I, for one, would take the DP every time.

sbk Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 You bring cans back? They don't explode in the plane? (hope that isn't a stupid question but it just seems the unpressurized hold would be problematic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DP25 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 As far as the price, people who wouldn't hesitate to plop down 100 baht for a beer seem to hesitate to pay 50 for a Dr. Pepper. No problem with that, but I, for one, would take the DP every time. I'd gladly pay 50 baht for a Dr Pepper in a restaurant. Nearly 10 bucks for a six pack in a grocery store though is a bit absurd.

(hope that isn't a stupid question but it just seems the unpressurized hold would be problematic) I've literally brought back hundreds of cans, and I have had two open on the trip. But from the looks of them, I think they got smashed by the luggage handlers. One was flattened, and one had a puncture, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfchandler Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 fyi, to all the Dr. Pepper fiends out there in BKK... Spotted a healthy supply of cans at the Villa Suk Soi 11 store today... 48 baht per can, and they even had some in the refrigerated section... Get em while they're cold.

dantilley Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 The new V8 Diner near Sunrise Tacos and near the corner of Sukhumvit Soi 12 sells Dr Pepper by the case. Not sure of prices though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfchandler Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Now, how exactly would one discover that, Dantilley?? BTW, how's the food there at V8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphodbeeblebrox Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Dr. Pepper at Villa Pattaya, and they also have cherry coca-cola. I'm not willing to pay 50 baht a can for these sodas, but if they got Squirt or Jones Soda . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricklev Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 The cooler at JUSMAG was stocked a year ago with Dr. Peppter and Corona (Last time I was there). American prices, I think the 15 baht for the Pepper and 40 for the beer, but I might be mistaken...... Just google JUSMAG Bangkok Now, as to the JUSMAG Canteen - everyone is welcome to come over and visit the compound if you are in Bangkok - no secrets here. Plenty of US English spoken here. All you need to do is swap your US passport or military ID Card at the gate for a badge and in you come. The canteen boasts a fair menu and serves grub from 0600 - 1500 Mon - Fri. There is also a small after hours club adjacent to the canteen called the Teak Room which has soda, beer and chips for sale with pool tables, TV, a library and small bar with limited selections beyond beer. Not sure of the hours but it's not too late and is generally open around 1700 when I leave the compound. OH! Yes, the canteen does SOS and it's a pretty fair breakfast for sure. Very popular with our visitors and members of the retired community who come in for breakfast quite often. Also, in the JUSMAG compound is a small dental clinic for active duty, post office, barber shop and a tailor shop. Pretty much self contained compound. Regards, Jim James L.

jfchandler Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Rick, I gather what you're saying is the canteen is open to non-military U.S. citizens living here, provided they show/produce their U.S. passport... Do you know... how does that go for those of us who are couples with Thai wives and/or GF who don't have U.S. passports?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backwoods Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 The new V8 Diner near Sunrise Tacos and near the corner of Sukhumvit Soi 12 sells Dr Pepper by the case.

Backwoods Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 OK, you ask for diet Dr Pepper, main Villa at soi 33 had plenty this afternoon, along with regular and cherry coke! Doesn't last long so jump if you want it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaihot Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Dr. Pepper at Villa Pattaya, and they also have cherry coca-cola. I'm not willing to pay 50 baht a can for these sodas, but if they got Squirt or Jones Soda . . . I know that I am bumping an old thread again ... but it is relevant. The previous "find" was in January. Villa Market in Pattaya 2nd road is stocked with Dr Pepper, and Cherry Coke and such. They have not had stock for quite some time. The price however, is 48b PER can (330ml). They had at least 5-6 cases in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffreyMcCollum Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 For those up north, in Chiang Mai. The 4 Rimpings upscale markets always have Dr. Pepper as well as Mt. Dew and others you can't get anywhere else. Spendy yes at 50 - 55 Bt. a can. But some times you just have to splurge ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 If I want to "splurge" on a soft drink, I am perfectly happy with A&W Rootbeer at 14 baht! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
