ECONOMIST: COVER PRICE UP ALMOST 10%

The Economist has raised its cover price in Thailand from 210 baht to 230 baht - a 9.52% increase. The rise happened several editions ago however the recent disruption of deliveries meant the Kingdom has only seen three of the five editions published this year. Readers in Thailand get the Asia edition which is partly edited from Hong Kong and printed/distributed from Singapore.
Thailand is not immune from the price rise. Readers in Bangladesh have seen a 30% increase while those in The Philippines have to pay 20% more. Readers in neighbouring Malaysia (11.11%) and Cambodia (8.3%) have also seen price hikes.
The increase isn't universal though. Readers in Australia, Brunei, China, Hong Kong, India, New Zealand, Singapore and Taiwan have seen no increase.
