When we first landed in Bangkok and found the night market across the road, we loved it. Plenty of options for eating good food at great prices, a place frequented primarily by locals, live music and of course, cheaper beer.
The price of a 3 litre tower of beer at the time (July 2008) was a bargain THB 400, with a bucket of ice (for the ladies) at THB 10. A year later they jumped the cost of Tiger beer to THB 450 (tax increases, apparently) but no one really complained as at £9 it was still a bargain.
However, yesterday we popped over to the market and noticed a large blackboard with the price list advertised. All the beer has come down in cost and our 3 litres of Tiger is now an even better THB 400 per tower.
Prices going down in 2011? That can't be right, can it?
I love Bangkok. :o)
