gawguy Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Is hoarding going on all over BKK? More in some places than others? No bottled water of course. I heard that the bottled water processing plants were flooded. Are the Lotus and Big C's more stocked than most other stores? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobbledonk Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Aaah, I have definitely been here too long - initial scan of this thread title read 'Is whoring easing off now ?'. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioman Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 You have to think that post flood the whoring might actually increase. Loss of income from factory jobs, crop failures and such may drive a few more to the scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 My nearest Tops may as well just close - no deliveries and empty shelves. The 7-Elevens are almost as bad. Water coming up from the sewers too on the Chatuchak side of Klong Prapha. Bangsue side still dry (higher ground). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Big C and Lotus have some bags of rice on the shelves, at 30% price increase, thank you very much! Noodles, no stock of the cheaper/common ones (mama). What they do have in stock, like some cooking oil, they have several aisles of shelves stocked, so it appears cooking oil is not being horded. Drinking water, locally being sold for 60 Baht a 1 1/2 liter bottle (3 X's the cost?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioman Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 So what happened to the gov fixing prices for this sort of stuff. Guess the market force is stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loss of income from factory jobs, crop failures and such may drive a few more to the scene. I think Stick said something along those lines in a recent column, and it turns on its head the old 'they werent forced to do it - they could have worked in the factory' argument, although I guess there will be lower-paid jobs in the bars that dont involve having sex with fat bastards.

Flashermac Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 A Bangkok Post editorial notes that both the Dems and PT's ignore the agricultural sector in favour on the industries. But in the 1997 crash those who lost their jobs simply went home to the family farm. This time the family farms in the Chao Phaya River basin are submerged. Where will those who have lost their jobs go? The PT's have done a bang up job of losing both the factories and the farms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
