Title: Beer Prices have increased recently
Post by: pbee on May 17, 2009, 03:13:42 PM
 sadbar  Hi people, What is the price of beer in the shops now? some guy on another site said he paid 75 bht for a large Leo in 7/11, not sure where, probably Pattaya. This is twice as much as I was paying in December. Inflation or what?

For sure not 75 baht/bottle of Leo, maybe only in bars..

Lately the government higher the tax on Alcohol and Tobacco so people worrying now.. hehe..  party12

In the local shops you should be able to buy a big Leo for 45 Baht, Chang for 40 Baht.  Archa (ugh) for 30 Baht.  That's after the tax increase.

Those prices seem around 5b cheaper than in Surin

There is actually a two-tier wholesale system;  Leo etc sell in bulk to Makro, Lotus etc, who then sell on in case lots to the small shops (and individual customers).

I'm well aware of the wholesale system they operate here........At the present time,the minimum order to obtain the discounted price is 500 boxes............which is quite an outlay for the typical 'man in the street',especially when you look at the small discounts they offer.................

At least one distributor in Buriram has half his godown full of Chang, and sells currently at 390 per case;  I've heard of another in Krasang selling at 395.  Makro has not caught on;  their price is still 413.
Title: Re: Beer Prices have increased recently
Post by: isanbirder on July 11, 2009, 01:41:22 PM
I should have added that the experience of one small shop in our village is that most local men are turning from beer to lao kao, and beer sales are substantially down.

Now what I'd really like is a place to get Leo cheap (for resale of course;  I don't drink the stuff!).  Their whacking big increase from 417-422 to 485 (Makro prices) seems to have held;  I can get it for 480, and have heard rumours of 477... but I wonder how they're selling the stuff at these prices when the much cheaper Chang are obviously having some difficulty.  Partly the low sales are because of the dreadful weather for the rice farmers, who simply don't have the money to spare.  Incidentally I'm not a retailer (how could I be as a retired farang?)... just closely connected to one!

Thai alcohol tax revamp urged 
Bangkok Post: 12 Oct 2009
http://www.bangkokpost.com/business/economics/25490/alcohol-tax-revamp-urged


Alcohol tax revamp urged

Excise taxes for alcoholic beverages should be overhauled to be strictly based on alcoholic content, according to Satit Rungkasiri, director-general of the Fiscal Policy Office.

Shifting tax calculations to be based on degree rather than quantity is in keeping with the idea that beverages with higher alcoholic content should pay higher tax, considering the higher potential cost to public health and society.

Mr Satit also said Thailand was unique in charging excise taxes for beers based on a three-category system: premium, standard and economy. "No other country uses the system we use for beers. It only introduces complications in calculating taxes."

But past efforts to overhaul the tax structure for beer, wine, liquors and spirits have mostly failed, in part to heavy lobbying by domestic producers.

Excise taxes for beer are currently calculated as 55% of the ex-factory price or 100 baht per litre-equivalent of 100% alcohol, whichever is higher. In general, charging based on alcoholic content will bring the government more money.

The three-category structure is complicated as each has its own reference for ex-factory prices, with economy the lowest and premium the highest. This is despite the fact that production costs for beer differ relatively little.

Past efforts to link tax rates to alcohol content have also been impeded by government policies to assist community producers of white spirits, which generally have more alcohol than imports.

Post by: isanbirder on October 12, 2009, 06:56:28 PM
People have been saying this for a long while;  in fact I remember commenting on it in this forum before.  It would take a strong and self-sacrificing government (yes, probably both) to raise the price of lao kao and risk the votes of the whole rural population.  In my village, the preferred drink is Leo;  if they can't afford Leo, or are too poor anyway, it's lao kao.  Curiously, Chang, which was preferred by RUT students near where I lived in Chiangmai, is not popular even though it's 5 baht a bottle cheaper.  (Except for one old sweetheart in her 70s who comes into the local shop every morning, puts down her money, then proceeds to hide a bottle of Chang somewhere in her underwear, and struts off down the street rather stiffly!  Tries to flirt with me too, all coy grins and beteljuice!)

Seriously though, I can buy Chang Classic just down the road from Makro at 425 a case;  the same day, Makro was selling the old stuff at 435.

I was trying to make light fun.  Personally I really don't care what you drink. In the evening I can usually be found sitting outside my store drinking a Leo.  But I like my first drink on a hot day to be an Ice Cold Magners.

First off, how many "normal" Americans do you know?  Most normal people I know can spell perhaps. 

Secondly, we would open our Thailand store at 6 am, within 30 minutes we usually had at least 5 people buying a shot of Thai Whiskey from us. 

Thirdly, I should have stated I would like my first alcohol afternoon drink of the day to be an Ice Cold Magners.

LEO has had a big price hike to 550 a box of 12....Seems a strange marketing ploy when Chang have just launched their Export (which seems to have had a good 'take up'),which will see LEO go up at least 5 baht /bottle,maybe by more in some of the 'watering holes'.
Here at Nookies the price will go up to 55baht,which I guess is still cheaper than the rest of the farang orientated places BEFORE they increase their prices!!

Beer Leo in Tesco's in Buriram is 495 Baht a box TODAY which is 41.25 per bottle.

Thats the same price that Tesco, Makro and Big C have been selling at for about 1 year. No change.

Binnsy if you had a brain you would be dangerous..........The previous price hike to 550 was during the aftermath of the floods when LEO was in short supply...it then dropped back to 495 .The 550 was charged in all the Major outlets too.

I beg to differ .........The 3 places you mention above were all charging 550 box/12 for most of December until nearly the end of January

OK I'll give you only six months but as of two days ago Large Leo was only 495 per case  in the BIG 3. Out in the back water the shops will charge more. I shall make another ruin into town for a nother reload and confirm.  party4
