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

A large leo in 7/11 is now around 45 baht

45 baht - 75 Baht :closedeyes: No matter what the price, it's still a bargain biggrinbar

In 'HOKKEE' earlier today the case prices were 483/12 lge Leo,400/12 lge Chang,315/12 lge Archa................
-
These are, of course, wholesale prices... but in Makro at least, you can buy a single case.
-
Why quote the price of Archa? No one drinks that stuff!
:D

Hey ~~~ Speak for yourself.... I Luv it!! biggrinbar

These are of course NOT wholesale prices,Anyone can walk in & buy a single case just as you can in Makros,Big C or,Tesco Lotus......................

Well it obviously depends where you live..............My lass sells about 24 bottles a week.............
What are your comments re Isaan Beer?????????

These are of course NOT wholesale prices,Anyone can walk in & buy a single case just as you can in Makros,Big C or,Tesco Lotus......................
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.................
-
I'm currently paying less for cases of Chang beer than I was before the LARGE INCREASES IN EXCISE DUTY/TAX.
-
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.
-
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.

In Nong Ki & Nang Rong I can buy it for 380 per case!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any better bids?

We must be the only two who buy by the case!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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!

I am currently paying 479 for Large Leo!!!!!!!!!!
The Isaan Beer<also owned by Singha> was 325 before the increases,,,,,shot up to 450,came back down to 430,then 370 & as of now 350.......Just makes one wonder doesn't it!!!!!!!!!!
-
It makes you
drink think.
-
For those in Buriram city, Makro is selling Chang at 380 the case, and Leo at 475... if you go through the sales desk. Today and tomorrow only.
-
That's 31.666 Baht/Bottle. party4

Thats the cheapest I've seen Leo ,thats if they have any.Makro is nororious for advertising these 'special offers' but not actually having any in stock.Strangely the day after these 'offers' end they have plenty available!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Well, I was able to buy some. But we only knew about it because one of the staff recognised us and told us.

HOKKEE in Nang Rong now has identical prices!!!
-
The saga continues... Leo down to 473 in Makro today (minimum 5 cases).
-
The price of Chang is on the way up!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Yes, I had to pay 400 a case yesterday... I thought it was just because I didn't have time to shop around.

Makro was 435 yesterday

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.
-
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.
-
Wot no Archa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
It was for sale, but they weren't selling any.
-
and here is the new "chang CLASSIC" . I think it taste just about the same. just different prestige branding. biggrinbar
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
I think Chang Classic is the same... just rebranded to raise the price (but I haven't had a bottle yet).

Archa 45 BAHT
At Paddys Irish Bar

-
I've noticed the price of Leo has jumped up sometime within the last month,,for any special reason??
-
Yesterday in Makro it was 480 a box of 12. That's 5bt cheaper than it has been in recent times.
-
The price went from 470 to 485 around 3 weeks ago
-
Beer prices go up every year at this time and peak at Songkran then drop down again,must be supply and demand party12
-
Chang & Archa both went up a couple of months ago,,,Chang by 15 baht a box,Archa by 10 baht a box....
-
I sense an uprising and revolution in our midst! swordfight slapfight
-
No doubt another increase shortly down to transport costs when the diesel subsidy finishes
-
Just realisewd if beer goes up by more than 50 Baht a case, that is going to cost me over 3500 Baht a month!
-
Yes. A sad state of affairs. My village shop have now had to stop the 3 Archa for 100 baht deal. It's now 105 baht.
I might need a loan. Anybody?

No price increase at 'Nookies',,,,You can 'wine & dine' & get insulted at 2009 prices!!!
-
Chang & Archa both went up a couple of months ago,,,Chang by 15 baht a box,Archa by 10 baht a box....
You can still buy Archa for 350 a box in that shite warehouse in Nang Rong

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!!

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.

Leo 584 THB in Tesco Lotus Nong Ki last week. A small independent shop wanted 630 THB. Maybe that was just for me.
