Where has all the the 'light' beer gone?
Old thread, but large bottles of Sam Miguel Light are no longer it seems, shame, it was my "at home beer" I did an AI search, this is the reason - Large bottles of San Miguel Light seem to have disappeared or become rare in Thailand due to shifts in local beer market focus (more towards Leo, Chang, Singha), changing consumer tastes (health-conscious options like San Mig Zero), distribution changes (like Budweiser taking over the license from Carlsberg), and potentially reduced demand for large formats in favor of smaller, more convenient sizes, though exact reasons vary by location and time . Distribution & Licensing: Carlsberg lost the San Miguel license to Budweiser Brewing Group in July 2024, which can alter product availability.

Pattaya’s High Season Hit by Outdated Bars, Booze Rules
The five or so bars in Jomtien and Pratumnak, are still doing a roaring trade 3pm to 5pm selling all beers at B39, in some cases B5 cheaper than a 7/11, which of course can't sell them at that time

Tightening of Alcohol Laws With New Fines for Drinkers
Exemptions; time restrictions apply to sales from retail outlets like 7 11, lotus, Makro, Big C or Food Outlets that do not have both alcohol license and food license. For years, it's not been possible to drink in chain restaurants in shopping malls, such as MK between 2pm and 5pm Surly these would be licensed? Its one reason I never use them, I enjoy a beer with my late lunch.

What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2025)
"Pluribus" presents a unique post-apocalyptic premise: the world has been taken over not by destruction, but by forced happiness. An extraterrestrial signal leads to a virus that infects most of humanity, fusing them into a peaceful, content, relentlessly optimistic collective consciousness known as "the Others." This "hive mind" has eliminated individuality and conflict, effectively turning the world into a utopia in which, and with which, its inhabitants are perfectly happy. —joan-lockwood https://www.imdb.com/title/tt22202452/
