Price Control for Drinking Water

[Guest MonkeySee]

The Commerce Ministry has set the maximum price of drinking water to Bt7 for a 500-600cc bottle of water. Although hotels and other tourist spots are exempt from this cap. I wonder if 7-11's will be exempt?

So are the mandarins expecting the price of Evian and other boutique mineral waters also sold in supermarkets and convenience stores to drop massively in price, I wonder?

there you go........the price set by the govt is for 'drinking' water.

Evian and other boutique mineral waters are........well 'mineral' waters.
