LucidLucifer Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Today I bought a kilo of fish food (my daughter likes to feed the fish in the lake near my house). Last week 15 baht, this week 19 baht. Last time we got some my wife bought it, today I went and got it. Maybe I just paid a 4 baht farang premium!?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalangBaa Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Large bottle of Red Horse beer at Family Mart. 1 week ago, 40 baht (same price for over 1 year since I started drinking it), 3 days ago the price was raised to 43 baht, last night back down to 41 baht again...

It's called inflation as a result primarily of unregulated speculative trading of commodities.. People will die as rich bankers in London and New York squeeze the poor. I really don't know how these aholes sleep at night. Edited May 16, 2012 by losworld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losworld Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I sometimes buy ice cream cones at McDonalds here in LA and the price has went from 50 cents two years ago to 70 cents last year to one dollar now. A result of helicopter Ben's insane printing and unregulated trading. The former to save Wall Street's arse and the latter to pad their arse.

Grawburg Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 The waffle guy on the corner went from 10B to 12B a few months ago...but they other waffle guy around nearby stayed at 10B. Mango sticky rice went up from 30B to 40B. I asked why..she said the flood makes it difficult to get mangos. I asked her if the price would go down when the floods went down....she ignored me. Price still 40B, but now she doesn't smile at me. D'Oro Coffee has twice bumped their prices 5 - 10B each time over the last 2 years. Two years ago cappucino was 39B now I think it's 60B. K. Kitty at Tulips' increased...um..well, forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
