Not that Makro is the best for "foreign" products, and I'm not sure where this one is, but I think the pricing is a mistake, as Makro online shows a grand total of 119 baht for a 4-pack of cans, 415g each.

Making a Tik Tok video over the price of a tin of imported beans?

Sad People if that's their claim to fame.

What an absolutely bizarre thing to be outraged about.  Canned beans?

Who comes to Thailand as a short stay visitor and seeks out pre-cooked beans? With all the wonderful options available, they need  beans?

What sort of pillock in Thailand wants baked beans? Especially Heinz which are expensive everywhere.
