Consumer prices in Thailand significantly higher
In November, the consumer price index in Thailand rose by 0,6 percent. That is the highest percentage in 23 months. Especially fresh vegetables, meat, oil, tobacco products and alcoholic beverages became more expensive.
Tobacco and alcohol took the cake: 12,9 percent on an annual basis. Fresh vegetables, eggs and pork became more expensive due to a lower supply. Thailand also suffered from the rise in oil prices.
Core inflation, which measures 450 products and services, showed that the prices of 123 products went up, 101 products/services became cheaper.
The Commerce Department maintains its forecast of 0 to 1 percent for inflation this year and 1,5 to 2 percent next year.

Hmm Soon the butcher shop will leave for Thailand again for a sloppy month and a half. It goes without saying that his arrival in Isan must be celebrated. That means in addition to a first stop at the first petrol pump after the airport, they always come to pick me up neatly, but with an empty tank, so often empty that I expect to have to push the big Toyota to the pump myself one day, a mandatory stop at Tesco. (I pay for the ingredients of the party of course) That will be considerably more expensive at the cash register this year!
Sheez, otherwise you let yourself be boned as a butcher. Nice family I say.
Well Slagerij van Kampen, I would say take the bus or train to your place of residence in Thailand,
saves you a lot of money and aggravation.
Dear Butcher, nice that your arrival there is celebrated so exuberantly. What a contrast to my arrival back in Brussels!
My wife and I already have enough luggage with us: 2 large suitcases (each max. 30 kg) and 2 smaller suitcases (each max. 7 – 10 kg). Add to that my wife's handbag and a bag with a laptop.
Suppose they do the same with us – stopping at Tesco-Lotas on the way (as they pronounce it there) – then we would need a mini van 55555 And that after such a long tiring journey…
That petrol has to be paid anyway and since they make those trips to pick you up at the airport, a certain contribution from you at least seems a bit logical…
In the past we were also met by (in-law) family at the airport of Khon Kaen. A richer villager with a large pick-up car provided transport for a fee (“for the fuel”). Since this year we just take the taxi.
Earlier this year, when we had to return from the village (30 km west of Khon Kaen) to Khon Kaen airport after Songkran, my wife ordered a taxi. But the driver couldn't find the village. Not even after a few phone calls. Then my wife waited for the taxi at the main road about 2 km outside the village… It took more than an hour. Fortunately, we were on time, because we have already taken possible delays into account.
But what is an average price increase of 0.6%? Instead of 1000 Baht you pay 1006 Baht… Only 6 paltry Baht more. There are other things to annoy us more…
I totally agree with Theos. Perhaps there they eagerly and willingly take advantage of your fatigue after a long journey…
William, unfortunately there is no train (near) the village and the buses – blue covered pick-up cars – only pass by on request and that is not possible with our luggage…
To all: do not be frightened by these slight price increases - the devaluation of the Euro costs us much more - but above all enjoy life over there. And that's exactly what my wife and I will do.
