CampariO Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 (edited) Went to Friendship and saw that Campari 0.75 l is now 1320 Bt. Used to be 1040. That's an increase of 27%. Aperol went up from 895 to 1220, a 36 % increase. Didn't check the other stuff. Do I have to quit drinking soon?

fforest Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 I don't know about this alcohol you're talking about....But a few years ago when they jacked wine prices overnight... 20 -35% increases in price were common....And prices have stayed high..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Yes, I noticed a price increase on the Martell VSOP brandy I like - it used to be approx 2999 Baht - it went up by a few hundred Baht per bottle, I can't remember exactly how much the increase was, but it definitely happened about 3 or 4 weeks ago. I was thinking is was a local price increase by the shop (Gourmet Market) but maybe it was a national thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Dangleberries Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Friends are going to Makro later. I have asked them to buy me Mont Clair, Sangsom and Singha. I'll let you know if there are any unexpected price increases ... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toy Boy Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Food price inflation in the UK and Europe is still running at a high level, and increased prices there will inevitably end up being reflected in the prices we pay in Thailand. There'll usually be a time lag between prices going up in Europe and Thailand, as they sell old stock in the shops, so there's no rhyme or reason to it. And certainly don't expect the weaker Baht to result in cheaper prices for imported luxury food and drink, that will never happen, lol. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pumpuynarak Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Everythings going up in price imo but at least here in Thailand it does'nt appear to be increasing like it is in the UK, what my sons are telling me is frightening 😟 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerrygold butter at £2.60 a pack, a loaf of sliced bread not far short of two quid, while bog standard fish and chips from the local chippie costs around £12. OTOH, supermarket own-label stuff is still reasonable, and you now get some hefty loyalty discounts of 25%-30% if you're a member. A big new Aldi has just opened in my home town and the prices there are pretty reasonable too. But stuff from small shops and specialty grub is almost as bad as Thai prices. Anyway, I've got an Asda chicken vindaloo for tea, and that's always good. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
