BeeR and AlcohoL
by alvis
BUYING BEER & ALCOHOL IN THE 7/11!
These are the main beers sold in Thailand and prices are for the large (Ghetto) bottles!
Chang Beer 35 baht - The cheapest beer but not the worst I loved it also sponsors of Everton FC.
Leo Beer 37 baht - Not as good as Chang and more expensive goes flat quick,try it.
Singha Beer 45 baht - Most expensive, up market Thai beer really quite good.
Tiger Beer 55 baht - Imported from China as far as I know, yeah its good.
Heinekin 80 baht - Why go to Thailand and drink imported beers.
ALCOPOPS (Poof Juices)
Not nice at all some wine spitzer things arent bad but Nite and Spy are boke. Can still get imported breezers or whatever.
MEKHONG (Traditional Thai Rum)
Cheap, 40% alcohol and actually quite good. Well known for use in buckets and is known by the Thais as a labourers drink because it's so cheap. Ten glass bottle costs 150 baht half bottle costs 80 baht. Try a ten glass bottle of Mekhong (Sangsom) with a 1.5 litre of coke and bottle of red bull and bag of ice you'll be spending less than 200 baht.
Well worth it i guarantee.
Hua Lamphong Train Station
by imran8852
We took the train from here to Nong Kai for 688bath per person for the upper berth. All the lower berths was fully book. This train station are for Northern & Northeastern Line so you can take the train from here to Chiang Mai too. The train station is quite huge. There's mini market & some food stall. We took a meter taxi to the station from the guest house in Phra Athit Road & it cost us 460bath. So many Thing!

Save Face
by Unknownsu
Like other Asians, Thais attach a great deal of importance to the concept of face, which involves gaining, preserving and enhancing respect and status. Foreigners should avoid actions or words that may cause a Thai to lose face in public. If criticism or potentially status-damaging actions or words are necessary, try to find a more subtle way of getting your message across. The Thai would probably respond appropriately.
Tips for rainy weather
by zuyao
I was in Bangkok in October during the rainy season. Good idea to bring an umbrella along so the weather will not halt you in your path. Maybe wear shorts and sandals so you won't get wet if you are planning to going to any jetties. Some jetties are known to flood during this season as river water flowing from the north overflows. The weather is not too cold (definitely above 20degC) so it's quite pleasant still.
