longstebe Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Sort of 'off topic' but our Tops supermarket doesn't sell the large beer Leo???? Just thought I'd throw that out there Sent from my Nexus 4 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theDukes Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Beervana had a promotion going for buy 3 and get 1 free. We bought a bunch of beer for the 4th at the promotion pricing and sold beers for 100 Baht at the 4th party after you got 2 included in the price of the ticket. Since very few are going to buy 3 beers at The Duke's we just put the price down to 150 Baht to blow out the left over beer. The promotion ended at the end of August but we are still honoring the price. Thanks to Beervana for the great beers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thighlander Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I remember when one of the ministers in the UK was asked how much a pint of milk was and he was way out. It makes them look bad as they don't have any understanding of prices and how normal people struggle with food bills, etc. Back in 2000, when McCain was trying to get the nomination, he stated that we needed the illegal workers because Americans wouldn't pick lettuce for 50 USD per hour. His office was absolutely flooded with faxes of resumes from Americans stating they would do it in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thighlander Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) Maybe John's place can finally quit selling beers from 2012, as well as quite a few other establishments, both Thai and Farang. Had a pharmacists try to sell me some Tramadol that was four years old the other day on Moon Mueang. They must have met a lot of stupid backpacker over the years, because they sure must think we are dumb. Oh, and good beer will keep for a while if it is kept in a cool and dark place, which there just aren't many of here. So if you have old beer, save it for salad dressing, because I sure as hell ain't going to buy it.

jackjones Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 Have the Leo and Chang breweries shut down? It is getting difficult to get a large bottle of either. When the boxes do reappear on the shelves, I will probably be so grateful and thirsty that I will be happy to pay any increase no matter how high. Hope that's not the plan.

jameslochfyne Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 For me the problem is not with price of Leo etc, what about the imported beers !!, a pint of Speckled Hen is 220 baht they are going to put another 30-50baht on top of that !, and even worse than that a bottle of real Malt whisky is going to increase somewhere around 400baht. Are the Thai Government trying to kill the middle class tourist trade, or does Chang & Singha just have to much control as they were the only people that new about the price increases 3 months ago ?.

CMKiwi Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Yep..... the Philippines got hit with a tax hike to alcohol a few months ago too. Mind you their booze was ridiculously cheap. Still the locals were very upset by the price hikes. We will never know if there is a conspiracy going on within the government....as if it anything new!

Thighlander Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Those 16 THB Cambodia drafts were mighty tasty; 8 THB during HH. These Pacificos for 30 THB really hit the spot, too. Never been served a warm one, Good smoke in both places, but it's better in Mexland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
