KhunBENQ Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Thats why you find more and more comments like "Thailand isn't cheap anymore". Coke for 135? Did they have poledancers? A must for this price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisinth Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I hope the anti-drinking lobby try to do an in depth investigation here. In their own little world, how dare a respectable hotel sell alcohol cheaper than soft drinks? IMO that is encouraging people who worry about these things to start on the booze to save some baht. Disgusting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgphuket Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 High end places fleece high end customers. A hotel that charged 800 baht a night wouldnt charge over 50 baht for a coke. A hotel that is 4-7k a night feels there customers puke money so they won;t care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrilled Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 You might want to buy them at big C and take them with you.I will stay thirsty at that price.They will have to get rich off of someone else.If more people would think like me they would either lower the price,or go out of business.

mikebell Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I won't patronise anywhere they operate a ++ policy. I like to know what I'm paying before I buy. On a side-note re 800 baht hotel rooms; I use a boarding house off soi 4 Nana. I get a huge room with lounge/en suite/A/C/Tv/ @ 700 baht BUT they charge 10 baht for a coffee!

slipperylobster Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I suppose they are looking for clientele that never blink at paying double or triple. It keeps out the "riff raff". Must be a very upscale place. I would expect prices to be higher..if it were. However, I would expect 5 star service, etc. etc. Being that I am a 3 to 4 star customer..I would not bother going there.

chrisinth Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Just so that you are aware of the markup, when we were running the bar we were buying bottles of coke/7-up/fanta for 4 baht a bottle from the companies. We were selling it for 20 baht as a mixer, which even then was lower than the other establishments. Granted, these prices are about 5 years old (maybe even earlier) but they haven't increased that much since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoshowJones Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Its only the same as getting a coke in a Hotel in England, Even in a pub they charge extortionate prices, Yes, and then they blame the no smoking rule for having to close down.
