Spade get the Chang - Draft in cans. Was my fave drink - or try a Thaihito (like a Mojito but made with the local whiskey and lemongrass :D)
Chang is vile tramp juice. Equivalent of drinking Tennants Super or Special Brew.
The only people that drink Chang out here is the poor farmers up north and tourists.
Bangkokians will mock you for drinking that filth. Regular Thai places don't even sell it.
Beer Leo or Singha all the way mate. Leo is my drink of choice as it's basically the same price as Chang but tastes 10x better and you won't get laughed at or scolded for drinking it.
Never heard of a Thaihito...where were you buying that?
If I'm not drinking beer I'll usually hit the whisky. Can buy a litre bottle of Johnny Walker Red Label for about £20 in a few of my local bars.
Anything you don't drink is kept, marked and put behind the bar for next time you come.
I take all my dates to the same pub and the litre bottle lasts about 5 dates. All you need to do is buy ice and mixers each time you go.
Bargain.
Well - Ive been drinking Amstel all day. Moving to vodka now (mind you I was ill last night as I took a 'decongestant' that I bought over the counter in Thailand). Fuck know what it was but I was spinning for a few hours :D (thankfully bought three strips so will try it again at a later date :D).
Anything you buy in a Thai pharmacy is probably not what they tell you it is.
The only pre-requisite for getting a pharmacy license out here is that you own a white coat and can find a green cross sign.
The 'valium' I bought is weird as fuck.
Does nothing at the time.
Won't cure hangovers.
Won't stop anxiety.
Won't help you sleep.
Doesn't even make you feel relaxed.
But the next day you're fucking mongoed even after one pill and can't function straight.
Legs don't work. Can't open your eyes. Can't think straight.
No wonder it was 40p for 10.
The Sideagra (Thai equivelent of viagra) is a joke.
Even says on the packet "Sideagra does not cause erections, it simply stimulates chemicals in your brain that may get you aroused".
Again no wonder it was £2 for 8 and viagra is £20 for 4.
