    Tax increase

    An expat friend of mine living in bkk has told me he has heard that the thais are going to increase the tax on beer /spirts by 10% .Has any one else heard this or is it as Trump would say false news?

    If this doesnt elicit the response 'another nail in the coffin' then I shall demand an inquiry.

    The 10% increase was end of last year. Bars and places that sell alcohol upped their prices at least that much. A friend complained his Mont Claire was first unavailable and then significantly increased in price. At a bar the increase on wine was about 20 baht per glass.

    If you have ever tried Monte Claire you would think 20 baht for a glass was too much.

    Agreed. Monte Claire is served at many bars and restaurants.

    Monte Claire sounds like a cheap Chinese knock-off.

    Yes but a Google search turns it up in upper New York State. Not sure how accurate that is
