Eric1949 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Anyone know where I can get Schweppes Tonic. Tried Tesco, Macro and many 711 and mama/papa shops, but none to be had. Maybe the plant was in North Bangkok and was flooded!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicalevo Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I am sure that you are correct re the plant being flooded. There has been a drought of Schweppes products pretty well since the floods. Ditto Lipton's Peach Tea. You just have to keep on searching. I did find some in my local newsagent a week ago, but now it has all gone. She cannot re-stock. Just keep trying the mama/papa places. Some still have old stock - but not for long. I am sure that the bars are sending out raiding parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trapper Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I have been in the same situation, not had Tonic for over a month. I tried everywhere, all over the island with no luck. But I got lucky today, someone I now that runs a girlie bar has just dropped of two dozen cans! I think that might be your best bet, ask around at Lady bars and see if they can get you some. Good luck and hope you get some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montrii Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I looked everywhere for it for weeks, and finally found some at Tops, just a few days ago. Maybe they're starting to produce again . . . but I still don't see it anywhere else, and what was there wasn't much, probably gone by now.

starcandle Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I was in the Premier Sports Bar in Bangrak and asked them for a few cans to take away. They would not sell me any, and said that they have a very limited supply, and needed it for their Gin sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophistichica Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I run a very busy bar and we use large suppliers in Nathon for our drink deliveries. We have not had a Schweppes Tonic can delivered now for over 3 weeks, I've search high and low and there's nowt that I can find... Just have to hold on until BKK sorts itself out!!

xcell Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) no Tonic Water in Phuket for over 2 month! Why is nobody importing it? Edited February 9, 2012 by xcell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonShadow Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Yes, the Malaysian owned factory in Ayuddhaya was flooded and there is no current Tonic production in Thailand. All supplies are being imported from Malaysia but as the same factory is also supplying Coke to Thailand and the demand for Coke is most certainly higher here than for Tonic I don't think there is much coming in and I guess it gets as far as BKK and that's it, although Samui, Phuket etc probably consume more tonic than BKK....I managed to pick up a slab from my friend's boat which has just come up from Malaysia!!

JonW Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Personally, I´m more missing the Manao Soda, that´s the closest you get to Bitter Lemon here. And there seem to be to import of that at all.... :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChangMaiSausage Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 LOL still no tonic on Samui here I was feeling sorry for myself over Christmas and New Year because I could not have a gin and tonic whilst on vacation. I thouht it was only a temporary issue. I'll think of you all tonight with my gin and tonic. Hope suppliers arrive soon guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric1949 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 Just looked in Tesco Chewang this morning, low and behold, Schweppes Tonic on shelf. None in boxes, but no problem. Loaded 24 cans in trolley, G & T's tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkie100 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Result. Makro had some yesterday and I managed to get one tray of 24. Apparently one factory in Bangkok is still not producing due to the flooding and the other factory is primarily producing their biggest seller, Coke. It is only when they have good stocks of that they change the production line to Tonic, Manao soda, etc. for short runs until they revert to Coke again Early May before stocks are expected to return to normal levels.
