Mickross Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Currently a pack of Marlboro is approx £5.20 GBP (360 Bht) and a pint of beer is £2.60 GBP (180 Bht) here in the UK. What is current Thai price on the above? PS. Beer was Grolsch, Thai similar comparison I guess would be imported Heineken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loburt Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 So if they are cheaper here then you're gonna pack up and move to Thailand? The cost of cigs and a pint being your criteria? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickross Posted November 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Well since you asked; yes I will one day relocate there, although it wont be based on the current Thai costs of beer and cigs. That was more in line with the fact I will be there for a few weeks in March.... if thats ok with you of course? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loburt Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 I'll have to ask my boss. I wouldn't want to make such a momentous decision on my own. Think of the possible implications ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was more in line with the fact I will be there for a few weeks in March.... if thats ok with you of course? i think the smokes are around 70 baht...and a heineken will run ya 90 to 110 baht on average....of course...the beer can be more should you go to discos or gogo bars etc. (gee..I hope Loburt didn't mind me answering your question...maybe I should have checked with him first???)

Mickross Posted November 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Well if your boss has to ask his boss and so on, please try to speed up the process as I need to start packing soon, I only have one pair on underpants so not much use packing them until I get your decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loburt Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 The Committee is meeting at this very moment! But I can't guarantee when they will adjourn. Considering how many pints and cartons of Marlboros they just had sent in, they could be deliberating for days. Better use the time to buy some more underwear!

PS. Beer was Grolsch, Thai similar comparison I guess would be imported Heineken depends when, what and where u r drinking !! bottle or heineken can range from 55 baht to 180 baht ... in kao sarn or sukhumvit bars i'd guess average is about 90 baht. pint of heinekein in farang type bars around 140. pint of guinness or killkennys around 180 to 210 baht. just a rough guide, but not really sure as i don't drink that much !!!

zeusbheld Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 FYI the heineken you buy here in thailand is brewed here in thailand. it's a bit antiseptic and lacking in personality, but then so is the heineken you buy in holland. beer-wise malaysia is a better deal, they brew guiness in malaysia and it's same price as the rest of the beer more or less (don't know exactly but in line with prices quoted here). sadly it doesn't seem to be widely available in thialand (or at those prices).

thaibel Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 The price of beer here is comparable with Thailand. A pint of beer (which is 25 cl if it's draft beer) is between ? 1,50 to 2,00 depending in which pub. If u go for a better, stronger beer (Ale, Trappist, Abbey beer ........) it may cost u ? 2,20 to 3,50 (that's most always 33 cl). But the beer and choice is better anyway than anywhere else :twisted: . I always drink Singha in Thailand, I hate to drink the Heineken peewater. the beer is quite the same price as in Belgium. Cigarettes cost ? 5,00 for a packet of 25 here. What's a lot more than in Thailand. But u hv some cheaper brands for ? 4,50 containing 28 cigs. That's why a lot of Englishmen cross the channel here to buy loads of cigs and booze till they drop. :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
