Well you should go to Cambodia or Vietnam... can still buy beers from the fridge at corner stores in VN for 8000 VND (about 45 cents)
Water quenches the thirst, alcohol releases the truth.

As a sock, your constant inane questions are only entertaining to a point. You clearly have a modicum of education and yet continue to play the fool.......[mod edit]Beerinthemorning wrote:Is the dream of SEA dead?

In KoW average monthly wage is 150$ a month
So a lady drink should be about 0.075 cents in comparison.
Anyway its clear that SEA is not a bargain and they are raising prices to even up previous unfair conversions we have seen in the past.
Examplr
Aud to baht in 2010
33.30 BHT to 1 AUD
Aud to baht in 2018
23.7 BHT to 1 AUD
Aud to KHR in 2010
4100 KHR to 1 AUD
Aud to KHR in 2018
3000 KHR to 1 AUD.

Re: Is the dream dead?
so it is the pacific peso that is the problem by your own admission
Re: Is the dream dead?
I surmise you don't have a very clear concept of economics, nor the costs involved in running a bar, paying for stock and keeping staff, much less things like profit and other overhead.Beerinthemorning wrote: ↑Thu May 03, 2018 2:03 am
