Beer drinking: Election alcohol ban!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Contraband in ceramic cups! - Bangkok
    Contraband in ceramic cups!
    by thedouglas

    We were in Bangkok recently when the elections were held. We were struck into a state of complete indecision when we attempted to order our evening drink(s) on the eve of the election. No alcohol is to be sold between 6.00pm the night before or until 6.00pm on the day of the elections! I guess thats when the polls close.

    We did manage to find a little restaurant off the streets, and immediately sussed out some bottles of beer about - and had an interesting "ceramic cup" of wine at our friend's hotel!

    Beer drinking: Singha Gold
  • Tip Rating:
  • I'm not a beer drinker and there are very few beers that I can actually say taste good or goes down easy. Singha Gold gets my vote for one of the best tasting light beers without an aftertaste that I've ever tried.
    Unlike its big brother Singha beer, Singha Gold isn't served in every bar or restaurant in Bangkok which was a bit disappointing sometimes.
    I wasn't able to take my own pic of it so I borrowed this one from their website.

    Beer drinking: Drink Thai beer
  • Tip Rating:
  • In Thailand, there are two main local beers.
    Beer Chang and Beer Singha. They are watery and light-good for a hot day.

    Beer drinking: Chang Beer
  • Tip Rating:
  • Chang Beer has 6.4 percent alcohol it's nice and strong. The can shows 2 elephants but the colors look a little bit cheap. The color of the beer itself is a bit darker than usual what probably explains the bitterness and strong taste. The get drunk quick factor combined with their low prices has made Chang one of the most popular beers in Thailand. In high class bars people frown upon it though (But not at Bars!) they claimed that it is now more popular than Singha Beer here in thailand!

    Thai Beverage Public Company Limited makes Chang Beer and they sell at 45 Baht at Foodland convenience stores and 7-11 and about 40 baht in corner stalls around bangkok. Beer Chang comes in two sizes, 660ml and 330ml, the latter of which is availabe in both bottle and can.

    Beer drinking: Singha Beer!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Singha beer is the leading beer product in Thailand and the Boon Rawd Brewery Co. Ltd. (located in Bangkok, Thailand) Brews this popular beer. Singha has for many years been Thailand’s most popular beer.

    Singha is a premium lager beer, specially brewed using barley malt and hops (not rice as some believe) to complement Thai food and the alcohol content is 6%. It is available everywhere and costs 50 Baht at Foodland Supermarkets and 7-11.

    Beer drinking: Singha Beer instead of Heineken
    Thai people drink the special Singha Beer. I liked it but had a big headache when waking up the next day.
