A chalk board would be handy in each bar listing the most common drinks and their prices.

The Irish Clock has a drinks menu with prices and a separate food menu.
I think the chalk board is OK for the "spittoon" serving bars but not a better class pub.

Following Lee's suggestion and the chalkboard could include the "common" bar's bar fine and long and short time prices

In the UK it is compulsory to display both the measure size and the price per shot on all the optics. Not much good knowing the price of a whiskey without knowing the size :lol:

IMO You don't need to be a "spittoon" pub to display a colourful and creative chalk board.

IMO it will not only increase sales of the lesser known drinks i.e. cocktails, smoothies, non-alcoholic etc but will also give the customer an idea of how much they're likely to pay.

Like the idea of price lists, now just a mute point, one is therefore supposing that the people writing the list can
a, Spell so you understand what they are writing
b, Hopeful that the price has not gone up ( note up it never goes down) since written
c, they can read what is written as well
d, lastly and not least It IS their list and not borrowed as someone suggested.
I put faith in bar owners I know ) Up 2 you bar, Place to be, Aussie ( 1),

irish clock to name a few, others no go areas, saves stress and baht. :D

D Corner bar next to the train station sells Heineken 55 baht not the most expensive but probable one of the cheapest. Plus Wayne makes for good conversation also has a good selection of DVD's including all of Mr. Bean

I don't associate a chalk board in a bar/restuarant with a 'spittoon' pub, most gastro pubs/steak houses/pubs/bars etc etc have one, some are chalked up by the bar workers while some are professionally done..come on nam jai you have seen them back home, even in Udon i would not take them as being a 'spittoon' bar if they had a simple but good on the eye chalk board.

And what are the better class of pubs in Udon you speak of..?

Have to agree, I think just about every pub I ever went into in England used a chalk board, I thats quite a few pubs I can tell you :lol:

But maybe thats because I am a peasant and only frequent spittoon pubs :roll:

Chalk boards are a great idea ........... until some drunken idiot thinks it's funny to change/rub out things and the bar owner doesn't see the 'amendment' :drunk:

Yes i have done that....so it shows some rude words or something funny, but with the more professional chalk boards it is impossible to rub out words and letters as they are more a paint based form of writing...i know i have tried in the past.

yes a little immature i know.Image

SO WHO WANTS TO KNOW WHERE TO GET VALUE BEER FROM?

To answer that question we need to define price first. Price is the sum total of all the tangible and intangible benefits of a product and/or service offering which a customer receives in exchange, usually for money. These benefits in the case of a beer are (not a conclusive list): obviously the beer, the service, the environment, quality of staff, the music and entertainment, how fit the chicks are, the whatever...

This benefit combination results in either a perception of value, or a perception of no value. If you receive perceived value you may be satisfied, or delighted if it was a really good experience. And dissatisfied if the product/service combination does not offer what YOU value, this being the case you should search for better value experience or continue to feel mugged off (the latter being the result of a low availability of quality product choices or a poor consumer decision (resulting from you)).

Additionally, whilst a price check at numerous bars and your local quick mart will give an indicator of price related value, it does not represent the sum of all benefits you get from a bar, restaurant or public house. Therefore, a price check is a weak indicator of value and should be considered a single factor in a more complex equation. Ultimately, who cares who offers the cheapest or most expensive drink, you should care about who offers YOU the most value, when considering all aspects of what the business has to offer YOU.

The point is that many businesses do not understand what their customers wants and needs are and, therefore, are unable to offer a combination of benefits which offer value and satisfaction. Understanding and applying this simple business knowledge is one thing that can make a business great and one reason why so many fail to survive in today
