You'd better stay in Chiang Mai dude. Their prices are very reasonably by Bangkok standards. It's quite easy to pay 130 baht for a small bottle in many of the pubs or restaurants in the city. 80 baht would be a happy hour price.

Dom ...

I always make a quick visit to the 7/11 for a bottle of Sangsom and a few small bottles of coke before boarding ..

I play the game to a certain level by also buying a few bottles of Coke from the buffet Car and thus getting a glass of Ice with it , they are normally quite happy to top up your Ice for you and even happier if you offer them a shot or so after the buffet has closed ...

Make for an interesting evening , the buffet staff are normally quite a good laugh once they are not working !!
