Grawburg Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Not sure where you are in town, but in the parking garage area between Silom Center and the Starbucks on Convent is a wonderful wine store. I personally didn't think the wine prices were too over the top if you look around a bit. Come to think of it - isn't there a wine store inside Silom? Maybe that was before the place was renovated...but there is one in the parking area. Don't forget, you're only a couple hours drive from Thailand's wine country near Khao Yai!

MrJohnson Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Tr Villa Market on Soi 33. their upstairs wine shop has a good selection of wines from France, Italy, Australia with smaller selections from Chile, South Africa and New Zealand. I am not sure that you would descibe them as premium although there certainly are some expensive wines in the selection. I would be wary of shelling out a lot of money i.e. more than B2000 simply because the wines are not cellared under ideal conditions. I have heard stories of wine containers sitting on the docks in very hot weather when they first arrive. Still, they do have a good selection. Wine Connection has various stores around but I don't think the choice is as good as Villa Soi 33. Goo Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orchidlady Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 The Emporium dept store has a wine shop that sells some very high end wines and hard liquor.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torrens54 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 If you are in Chiang Mai, try the place near Rimping Supermarket's (airport store) Can't think of the name of the place but it has some good wines at highly inflated prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyG Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I'm not sure that Wine Connection or the likes of Villa/Foodland can be considered seriously high end. In my opinion, the wine store in the supermarket basement of Siam Paragon can. (The wine store in Emporium is suitably eye-wateringly expensive, but rather small, so the selection is limited.)

TheSpade Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 On Soi Rang Nam in BKK King Power Duty Free has a wide range of wines from around the world and some quite expensive bottles, 15,000B was the highest I saw. I believe you need to be a tourist to take advantage of it so probably have to show passport and ticket home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isawasnake Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 if you like paying 30 dollars for an 8 dollar bottle of wine, then head straight to a wine connection and have a ball. for me, it doesn't taste good when i have to pay that much. i have realized price is as much of a part of the pleasure as the actual quality.
