Beer is definitely a personal taste item. I would never lambaste someone for stating a beer they personally like (even Archa drinkers... which in my opinion is (almost) as bad a Bud).
Have tried all (most it would appear from the pics I have seen in this thread). Full Moon is NOT my taste, for example. Stella is - on a HOT day when a light beer is thirst quenching.
But people, if you can get a Lao IPA (ask your 7-11 - they carry it in some markets). Try one. Well worth the effort.
One of the absolute best tastes (available in TH) is LAO IPA. Very nice blend of ale taste with a slightly hoppy head - pour gently into a frosted mug.
We drove that route 3 weeks ago. The Highway 4 routing to bypass downtown Bangkok works fine and is quite fast. Just avoid Highway 35 (Rama 2) at all costs! We had to go through Bangkok on the way back to visit friends. 35 was a disaster - took 4 hours from the Highway 4/35 interchange to the Kanchanaphisek turnoff - about 45km.
Last summer during the peak of the heat, we (who are in a rather moderate climatic part of Thailand) had rolling brownouts. Our PEA suggested it was due to the new number of electric vehicles sucking power.
This year is supposed to be hotter. I wonder if the brownouts (or even blackouts) will happen again? With even greater frequency or intensity?
I am an electric can fan, but....... I have a hybrid. My electric bill is not affected.
We're not exactly novices at building in Thailand but all suggestions and cautions are appreciated. Anyone build in Phayao recently? Sq. meter prices paid would be most appreciated.
We went though the passport process for a minor son (17). A note from me and the presence of my wife were required. Not the physical presence of both parents.
Actually, nothing "fishy" about it. We witnessed a serious accident very near our home. A lorry rear-ended a motorcycle in the early evening. Brake failure, the driver said. Since we knew him, asked. On mobile.
No action by the brown man.
Came across an interesting article (from a reputable source) about the negatives of electric cars. Well worth the read (watch - it's a video).
