Although the inflation for Thailand is rather on the high side in recent years but the higher ST/LT prices in Bangkok bars are simply ridiculous.
[Formula]
In each country when the Foreigners/Non-Local Tourists who don't spend/monger responsibly then the local market will be destabilised.
【Price Low or Stable】 + 【Service Level Good or Satisfactory] = 【Locals >99%, Foreigners/Non-Local Tourists <1%】
【Price Up】 + 【Service Level Down】 = 【Locals <1%, Foreigners/Non-Local Tourists >99%】
MONGER RESPONSIBLY
MAINTAIN STABLE LOCAL MARKET PRICES

As long as carrotheads are willing to pay those prices the WLs will continue to ask for more and more plus service level drop.
This is the law of demand and supply.
If want to pay THB3000 ST/THB5000-10,000 LT then might as well cheong in Singapore or Malaysia.
Can save on air tickets and accomodation some more.
