Torneyboy Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 Says Old Hippie: Just wondering, what does a pack of smokes cost in other countries? LOS about $.50-1.00usd, here in California, around $4-5usd, or more out of a machine...all due to taxes and general BS... Sydney...Pack of 25 Marlboro lights AUD 9.35-$10..depends on the store.

chilli13 Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 I always though krung thep meant bangkok, but hey holy filters are pretty hip too! In UK a pack of fags are more than a E-pill at some GBP4.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straycat Posted September 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 well you're certainly right: ¡ÃØ§à ·¾ = krung thep (city of angels) however the cigarettes are: ¡Ãç·Ô¾Âì = krong tip (holy filter) not same, same (i shoot from memory here, there might well be spelling mistakes in the thai names, although I would not think that is the case -- i have good memory :) *knock on wood*) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straycat Posted September 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 also note how most of the thai cigarettes have English names printed on the package as well while ¡Ãç·Ô¾Â (krong tip) does not! :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straycat Posted September 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 and if you think about it...isn't this the only 3rd world country where you actually don't ever see any commercials for tobacco, right eh? (i'd guess ads for tobacco is forbidden in thailand) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli13 Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 that's an interesting observation. guess that something illegal that's actually fully enforced too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
