Why do I have to do the research?  I lived here the entire time it was happening!  Followed the news about it every day.  How about you?

I was on the streets at sala daeng in 2010 and sanam luang in 2013.

Where were you????

Booted out.... I thought they both 'did a runner'.

She was overthrown in an illegal coup.

So yes, she was booted out.

Obviously, they didn't do a decent job or they'd still be here running the country!

They were booted out because they were a serious threat to the establishment here.

Don't you know that?

On the surface yes. But times were good back then, the global economy was rocking.  Easy to hide all their corrupt actions.  Of which there were many...thus...their current status as criminals on the run. 

what a load of hogwash!

I love her and her brother no matter what.

Both are sorely, sorely missed ????

Thai beer shouldn't even be called beer it should be called a "beer-like beverage".

I second this!

First time I went to Vientiane I headed down the road overlooking the Mekong river, found a great restaurant down the bottom, ate some chicken and rice with a couple of Beer Lao’s and watched all the activity on the slow moving river. The best beer in SE Asia by a country mile. 

I love Laos.

I'm planning on going back to Vang Vieng for a few days once the borders are open.

What a stunning place that is!

sty.  Just wish I could find a kegerator and buy it by the Keg, but then again I don't drink but a few bottles a month, unlike my younger days. 

if you find out where to buy it by the keg let me know mate!

Def right up there. I'm use to Leo now.

I've spent countless days and nights drinking leo.

Then I got bored, changed to Sing.

Then got bored again, changed to chang.

And around the thai beer merry go round I went.

Then I realized, when Chang brought out cold brew that what I had been drinking previously was akin to bleach.

It was nothing but carbonated chemicals.

Then they had beerlao on offer at my local tops market.

I bought 10 bottles and enjoyed every single one of them.

The first time I sampled beerlao was in Vang Vieng.

Though I was so out of my mind back then I couldn't even remember what it tasted like...

It's the best beer I've come across, a lot of places don't sell it as it's a bit more expensive than the other <deleted>.

I dont mind paying the extra now.

I usually drink light beer but on the days when I fancy I full fat beer it's beer lao or cold brew from now on.

The heineken isnt too bad either.

I have come to the conclusion, after many bottles of many different brands of Beer, sampled throughout SEA - That Beerlao is the king of Beers in this part of the world.

To me, it is the only Beer that even comes close to tasting like a real Beer.

All Thai beers (with the exception of Chang Cold Brew) taste to me like pure chemicals.

There is no real flavor to the beer.

Is there a better, locally brewed beer available in Thailand than Beerlao?

If so, what is it?

Do you agree with me that the best beer brewed in SEA is Beerlao?

Cheers! ????

People who want to wait to get Moderna vaccine at a private hospital will have to wait until October before they can be jabbed.

This tells me all I need to know about what brand of Jab will be offered to me on June 7th.

I was gonna turn up at the hospital nice and early & in my Sunday best....

Now I don't think i'll bother.

It will be Sinovac or nothing for us farangs.
Like it or lump it.

What's the average bar fine in Spain?

 

No idea.

I'm usually able to pull normal girls when I'm there, especially if I hit the bars that are full of horny English birds on hen parties and dirty weekends away from their husbands...

You a regular bar finer then mate yeh?

     Correct .

     Open pound shops , in  Pattaya . asap .

        That will boost the Thai economy ...

        Every little bit , helps ..

      

        

     

       

     

     

     

dollar beers, dollar rooms, dollar massages, dollar pad thais.

Just Make everything a dollar and the tourists will come back in herds! 

start gouging them by charging 280 baht for a small beer and 5,000 a night for a room and you can forget it.,

They will never come back.

A lot easier to go to Spain than it is to fly all the way here just to be ripped off.
