Cost of cigarettes in Thailand rises 5-10 baht

@Blueshk

Wonder increased by 14 Baht and SMS by 12 Baht. These being lower costing cigarettes I would have expected them to increase by or near to 5 Baht

Can someone name any locally produced cigarettes? Can anyone name any cigarettes that have increased price by between 5 and 10 Baht?

TTM’s leading brands are Krongthip 90, WONDER American, WONDER Menthol, Falling Rain 90 and Gold City 90.

according to wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thailand_Tobacco_Monopoly

I thought they were all produced in Thailand. Marlboro from Thailand tastes much different then in Europe and they also burn faster.

And if the priceraise is to get people from smoking then they should also do it to rolling tobacco. I heard that "black cat" tobacco costs 10 baht a package, guess many Thai will start smoking that now without a filter.

Marlboro made by Phillip Morris in the Phillipines. Same as L&M.

So does cars, so does women, so does beer, so does..............

I think a man is allowed one vice. But choose one that doesn't cause a terminal disease.

Went to Tesco Lotus today and bought a couple of bottles of Carlsberg at 70 bht each. Checked my reciept on the way out they charged me 77 bht. They did refund the difference but said they are waiting on new labels as the government put the price of beer up the same day they put cigarettes up in price but people dont know. Anyone else noticed this?
