[CheshireTom]

Not nearly as bad as predicted in some corners of this internet thingy ...

And so it begins.....!

 

The first of many i suspect..

They will be smuggling it across the borders then.

I think 2-3 baht on a bottle of beer may translate to an opportunity to put 10 baht on in the entertainment zones.

 

I think my case of SML comes in around 950 baht, and 2-3 baht would take it above 1000 baht/case.

Ouch..... have to stop buying the lemons!

2-3 baht per can will translate to a 20 baht price hike at the jiggle den.

Am i reading the change in wine tax correctly? It seems to say an increase from 100 baht per litre of alcohol to a 1,000 baht per litre. So that would increase the tax on a 5l box of wine from 65 baht to 650 baht !! I love my Mont Clair but that almost doubles the price.

No. The rates that have been passed are "ceilings" that allow for increases over the next 10-15 years without having to pass a new law/regulation every year to increase the lawful amount of duty that can be collected.

Just went out to panic buy some Aussie wine. 'Yellow tail' 'Linderman's' and 'Hardy's'

 

No change yet in price........even got my usual 10 baht a bottle discount.......... 120 baht. 'You know it makes sense Rodney'

I just checked in my fridge and my bottles of beer are just where I left them and none of them have gone up.

They may go down later.

I'll still buy Singha even if it costs a little more. All in all it's just another brick in the wall.

[hillbilly]

same shit as any where else in the world, don't think it will stop guys drinking it will get the bars competing for buissness

[bratpack]

Dont think my drinking habits will make me go back to uk lol. A 1 year increase of booze for me is 1 week increase in my investments lol.

[bratpack]

[jacko]

They shouldn't, no alcohol involved.

[bratpack]

Very true mate

So, did you see any change on beer or alcohol drinks in bars ?

Or was is a lot of noise for just 3 or 5 baht that will not immediately be added on prices ?

Since the beer distributors aren't tax collectors perhaps there will still be a bit of stock around that hasn't had the tax applied.

Of course some will add it anyhow.

My Leos are showing July and SML June '13.

I think the tax is applied at the manufacturing point of sale so it will work through to us soon.....particularly in soi Buakhao!

[bratpack]

How many bar owners on here ???

from ???? to?????

 

Every bar that i went to thursday night,has an increase of 5 baht on beer,and nothing for sangsom or vodka,Sambuka same price,not a clue about any other spirit

We've not started buying at the higher price yet, so nothing has gone up.

cover other raised expenses of business.

 

So what are they then.

 

I have seen some bar's new purchase price lists for beer, per bottle raised about 3 Baht.

So I guess most Gogos will hike up the 10 Baht to keep their repurchase percentage and cover other raised expenses of business.

[bratpack]

U have large stocks at the old price then ???
