Yes they have just raised the tax on booze.

5 baht per can of beer, I think, which is quite steep.

Only thing to do about it is to stop drinking which I am not yet prepared to do, or smile and pay.

Not really, many of us here in Thailand manage to enjoy life without benefit of alcoholic beverage consumption. So I say, like fags and lottery tickets...tax away.

I don't know where you come from, but in my home country, beer is way cheaper than here..

For example: A box of (cheap) beer starts at ~5€ .

That's 20 [email protected] liter (10 liter for ~200 Baht)

That's half the price from here...or less.

the price of beer in the shop varies greatly from country to country in Europe. In the UK and Ireland I found it outrageous.

The cheapest I think is Germany, where beer is taxed like food. Quality, name - brand beer can be less than 20 Baht a 0.5l bottle/can, and you get cut - price brands for the aforementioned 5 EUR per 20 btls.

Seems that you've absolutely no idea of German beer...even this 5€/box beer is imported to Thailand.

Who drinks at home anyway? What does this mean in the bars? 10 baht per bottle?

Who drinks at home anyway? :- I like drinking at home .There's nothing nicer than chilling out on a evening sat next to your swimming pool with the Ribs & Chicken sizzling on the BBQ and a fridge full of ice cold beer.

What does this mean in the bars? :- Not bothered anymore! ".Bought the Tee shirt" as they say now grown up and enjoy the finer things in life.

The Thai govt guy in the news article here the other day announcing the increase in alcohol taxes -- all alcohol -- said it was supposed to be 2 or 3 baht extra for a regular bottle of beer at retail... Sounds like it's ending up a bit more than that.

not only the pound is relatively strong, the € is too...

Seems this years "high season" could be very successful for some guys in making new "friends" at the beer bar tongue.png
