Leo beer

[aussiesteve63]

What's the average price for a bottle of Leo at a local shop I just paid 77 baht

[gerry123]

my very local shop in muang kalasin 3 for 130 lets go for 45bht

[Issanman]

55 baht here in the far NE.

[aussiesteve63]

I bought 4 bottles gave him 500 baht got 190 change so from what you are both saying he's a happy man, will be going to another shop next time

[ib1b4]

Leo at our corner shop is 54 baht per bottle. I think one 100 baht note must have stuck to his fingers as he was handing back your change.

[Issangeorge]

At our local stores in Kuchiarai, Kalasin, Big C Market, Tesco Lotus Express, and Cat One, a case of 12 goes for ฿568 or ฿ 47.34 a bottle, and in most shops about ฿55 for one. gerry33 you are getting one heck of a deal.

my very local shop in muang kalasin 3 for 130 lets go for 45bht

130/3 = 43 Baht.

Tell us the address!

Best price I know for a box of 12 big bottles is 565 Baht.

Thats 47 Baht per bottle.

If one buys a single bottle one will pay more of course.

Here in the remote village they want 55 from the fridge.

And I pay it, if I forgot to stock up with another carton in the district town

Sisaket/Ubon. About 565-570 a case from a supermarket or 'box shop' and typically around 55 a bottle in a Mom & Pop. Typically 702 for a case of 24 small. Hardly any variation in the case price - Boonrawd have tight pricing - and Mom & Pop stores can't get it much cheaper than the Tesco/Makro price either unless they are into lorry-loads. Typically 75-80 in a falang bar or Thai restaurant.

Markups on wholesale prices are remarkably low in Thai retail/bars/restaurants compared to the falanglands I know.

Methinks Gerry is drinking outdated pre-increase stock, or small bottles - either that or the 'pop' in Mom & Pop means 'bust'

Golden rule in Thailand (Or anywhere really)..........Always ask the price first if not displayed.........."Tao Rai Krap?" = "How much please?"

[lostinisaan]

Usually 55 for a big one. Just recently found a shop where they sell small bottles for 32 baht. ( 38 at 7 Eleven) and fell in love with the much better taste and no ice inside.

Even drinking two small (but also cold) bottles of Leo would only be 64 baht. Quality before quantity, started to hate to drink beer with ice.

I'd be very careful when asking such a serious question.

He might misunderstand you and kisses you for free.

our local mom & pop store here in Udon Thani has a great deal on Beer Chang Classic (much better than Leo IMO)

2 Bottles + Ice THB100.

Seeing Tops and Big C near us are now THB 50 per bottle - that's a pretty good deal!

Is my Thai that bad that 'Tao Rai Krap' has another meaning that I am not aware of....haha?

That is what I was taught to say.

Though, I'm not always understood ...

My sentiments exactly

[Issanman]

Our local Tesco Express has 2-packs of Chang Classic for 95 baht. Large bottles. I also prefer Chang over Leo.

Yes me too. It is so difficult to get the pronunciation, which is so important in Thai, right. I often have to accompany the question with the hand gesture of rubbing thumb and 2 forefingers together meaning 'money'. This seems to be understood....mostly.

I get what you mean now..........But if it was an attractive 'She' and not a 'He', it could be a bonus....555.

Bought a box yesterday in kantharawichai for 570baht

When I go down the market about 2 in 3 understand my tow rai khrap. The other third just look blank no matter how many times I repeat it. Chak baht is a good standby for those occasions (no idea if that is Thai or Isaan)

You seem to have a bad taste, regarding beer in Thailand. Well, hope it's different with the human counterparts here.

I'm having some of the small and very cold Leos right now and would send all elephants away. NO ICE IN MY BEER AND I'M NEVER ALONE.....

P.S. Please "donate" 5 baht per download of this photo to homeless Mia Nois in Sisaket. Page me and I'll give you the bank account #.

You should say: "Tao Rai Boo?" And they'll get it. (Of course not the Cambodians in your area)

Tao Rai,, na khrap? in Thai. "Tao Rai Boo" in Lao Thai, also called Isaan.

Never got use to the concept of ice in beer - beer in ice, yes... but no need to water it down further.

[nev]
