rookie Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Tax-Increase-Alcohol-Hit-Foreigne-t352185.html Significant increase in the taxes on alcohol, in hopes of reducing alcohol related accidents over Songkran. Not a bad idea, IMHO, but will they abolish the tax after Songkran??? The article claims farangs are responsible for 'almost 70% of the total alcohol consumption in Pattaya'. I wonder where they get these (who creates) these statistics! 'A controversial plan, not yet approved by the government, is the plan to impose an additional 20 baht on alcoholic drinks sold to foreigners at bars and clubs'. Hmmm, a new way to gouge farangs, in addition to special entry pricing at parks, tourist and some entertainment venues ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
