That Rarely Happens

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)
