This is serious. Never mind no power or no water.........

Yesterday I went to Big C and Tesco - No Leo and no Archa!

Went to Makro this morning and I bought the last two boxes of Archa and the last box of Leo.

I suppose that they were all bought up before the price rise last week!

Let's hope that the shelves are replenished soon.

Are you at the point where we should start a collection on TV to pay for an emergency supply drop by chopper?

Yes, nobody wants to sell to the old price, before the tax hike.
Managed to get a box of Singha today, but had to pay the new price 820 baht, a raise with 5 baht per bottle.

I am good for a week or two thanks (had some stock at home already) but that is a good idea if we don't get a delivery next week!

Luckily the Archa was still 417 for 12 large bottles!

I feel your pain.

Well there's a challenge.

Next TV party I will offer you a drink as requested.

... maybe, but they did, which is why there is now a beer shortage.

You think everyone is going to rush out and buy it at the new tax-hiked price? Nah - they went out and bought it before the tax hike.

Poor sucker indeed! . You didn't beat the rush.

....and neither did I. All the supermarkets I tried in Ubon on Sunday were also stocked out of most beers except Cheers. I'm a bulk beer buyer (for the hash house harriers - a drinking club with a running problem).

Anyone out there know when we are going to get beer supplies back on the island?

Went to Makro and Big C yesterday and the only cases of beer that were available were San Mig Light, and .... San Mig Light...... and San Mig Light.....

Where are the cases of beer on Samui please?

Archa and Tiger. A good friend found some Leo at Makro today and picked up a couple of cases for me.

I'm OK for Singha and I don't like the taste of Heineken

(Leo was the urgent one - Archa next.)

Okay you lot, you've got a month to sort this out before we get there. Maybe I could bring beer instead of the children. Hmmmm...

Try green smoothies for a change

You know, my Dad is a real-live certified pilot. Well, he's retired but he's still got all his marbles. I work at a place called breakfastandbeer. You lot have no beer. This could be a match made in heaven.

You'll be fine if you can drink San Mig Light

Can someone please direct me to the thingie that has all the code thingies for the emoticons in here so I can insert the fainting-away-in-horror one? Cheers.

This is one of my favourite beers and you suggest San Miguel light. Sigh. What am I letting us in for?!

I bought some Belgian beer a few days ago.

Hopefully much needed supplies will start flowing again (pun intended)

Amazing, all supplies withheld until the price increase is approved. That means I got ripped off with all the beer that I paid the new price for .

You didn't get ripped off Rooo...you would have had to pay that price anyway.

A friend of mine runs a small bar down the road from me and he went to Samphet to restock and they told him no more supplies would arrive until the new tax hike was approved

So why would they charge the new price when it wasn't approved as yet?

Profiteering springs to mind

Plenty of Chang available at Namuang.

Beer is back in Makro but no Archa yet.

Not too worried - got a few cases left at the moment
