How prices are collected and verified, how the value rankings are built, and how to get a venue — or a correction — onto the map.
The same drink can cost ฿240 on one soi and ฿450 three BTS stations away. After watching those gaps for years from inside the drinks trade, we started keeping score. What began as a spreadsheet is now an independent index of drinks prices across Bangkok — built to help you find a properly made drink at a fair price.
This index is community-sourced at its heart. Most prices come from people like you — drinkers and venue staff sending prices, menus, receipts and photos through the suggest-a-venue form. We back that up with direct checks: venue visits, current menus and trade contacts across the city.
Every listing carries the date its price was last verified. Menus can lag reality, so when a submission and a menu disagree, we check in person. Spotted a price that's changed? Send it in — that's how the index stays honest.
Classic specs only, so every price compares like for like and keeps it fair. Aperol Spritz: Aperol, prosecco and soda — 3·2·1 over ice. Margarita: Jose Cuervo (Blanco or Reposado), Cointreau and fresh lime juice. Negroni: gin, Campari and sweet vermouth in equal parts. House twists and slushy machines are lovely, but they don't go in the index for now.
Price alone rewards small glasses. So we rank by baht per millilitre of the finished drink as served — a generous pour at a fair price beats a tiny glass going cheap. The longer the bar, the better the value.
Where a venue's serving size hasn't been verified yet, we assume the standard serve and mark it with a tilde (~): Aperol Spritz 250 ml · Margarita 150 ml · Negroni 120 ml — all of them ice included.
Yes — Phuket is next in Thailand, with Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi to follow in Vietnam. Same rules everywhere: classic specs, verified prices, same brands, value per pour.
