Drink prices just keep creeping up and up in Bangkok.  Nana Plaza has long been a tourist trap but its getting so I will not even bother visiting.   The current price of a beer or short local drink is around the 130 to 150 baht range.   There is no consistency with soft drink which should be priced at the same level as a beer.   Ladies drinks are even more erratic and you really need to ask to avoid nasty surprises.

Leading the price hike are bars like Lollipop, Hollywood, Carousel, G-Spot and Voodoo with their beer priced at 145.   When these Crown Group bars increase the other bars tend to follow soon after.

It’s ironic that the Thai owned and managed bars seem to be more price sensitive keep their drinks around 135 baht.  The Rainbow Bars (1 to 4) account for half the girls working in Nana and half the business so maybe they realize that more and more visitors are becoming increasingly price conscious in these challenging economic times.   Still over time they too will increase their prices.
