Korat Kiwi

I agree she definitely needs help. But I haven't seen her naked picture being plastered anywhere. There is a photo of her lying on a couch that has her pants blurred out but definitely no nudity. Why did she come to Thailand and how? I would have at least expected the authorities to contact her embassy or consulate.

Crikey you're keen, that's probably one of the last things that I'd contemplate doing in this weather. Now sitting in an ice bath with a pint of beer.... I could handle that.

Why is she still free to roam the streets? Everyone says she has a screw loose and a possible threat. At least a padded cell away from Joe Public.

There use to be a place near Kalasan Night market that had a great selection of beer and spirits. Probably a bit North of the market but on the same side of Changklan road. Was my go to place for good dark Rum.

I remember years back that it was an offence to give grog to the Aborigine peoples . I think that it was mainly confined to their reservations tho. Good story!

Way to go... Get rid of this junta and have new elections. I wish them all the best in the future.

Agreed. Lavender in beer? For goodness sakes what is this world coming to? I've had some with lime and that was OK, Monteiths Radler in NZ is a very nice summer drop. I suppose a bit like Corona with that lemon wedge shoved into it. That does some people's heads in. Again personal tastes vary.

Saw this shop in Antwerp (Belgium) and thought I'd died and ended up in heaven.

A bit like McDonald's burger buns huh? Preservatives to keep the old folks alive.. Or preserved

Come on Sig, tell us how you really feel. I hear you. And can't believe that these cretins allow this to happen. Lock em all up until they get summoned to the Haig.

Yep the weather is damn hot. I put a big plastic pan (Full of water) out for the dogs to cool off in. Stupid mutts weren't having a bar of it. Put them in and they hated it. Even leaving them alone thru would not hop in. Yet the dogs I had in Mae Rim loved it. It was their go to escape in the heat. These dogs would rather sit there and pant. Go figure.

Deleted..... Bad taste!

I'd love to move to the South and be close to the Andaman Sea but the ongoing problems down there are a cause for concern. Pity about that.

OK I'll give that a go. I've tried many Tooheys of various types and Castlemaine XXXX but keen to try others. I must admit VB was a bit difficult to swallow but some people swear by it. Cheers for the heads up.

I smell a possible cover up in the making. Time will tell.

I wonder if the rest of the world is aware that this is happening here in Thailand? I'll be checking world news in the next few days.

I had a beer in Karachi once.... never again. It gave me the squirts big time for 2 days. What looked like Lux flakes in the beer should have been ample warning but as I hadn't a beer for a few months, desire overtook common sense. That was a wake up call. Now I'm very cautious (initially) when in new countries.

I have been looking for this but not located it locally. I've tried the Dark and the Lager. May have to go into the city methinks....

Interesting place, cheers for that. I'll be sure to pop in and 'sample' what's on offer before coming back to the LOS. Probably defer my return by 24hrs...likely hangover!

What's your favourite drop in Oz? I'm looking at heading to WA (Moxy driver) within the next month.

Can't complain at that. Dunkel is about 640 a case at Lotus'sss. Slightly more than Leo but a nicer product. A local Brit guy said it reminded him of a British bitter beer, Tetleys and another but I've forgotten it's name... Newcastle maybe?

Agree... preferred the dark version Dunkel.

Red Horse, tried that in The Philippines and did drink a bit of it. Had Lao Dark in Vientiane and was slightly disappointed with it. The previous time I really liked it. Cheers Xtra, was that with the red label or in a red can? When in Chiang Mai, it was my go to cheap beer at 7 11. Not a bad taste and quite drinkable. I've had a couple of Tapper this week but find them a bit tasteless. And for the extra cost not really worth it. I definitely drink beer for the taste and once even found a theoretically 0% beer that tasted good in NZ. However, each to their own. We all have different tastes in many things in our lives and that's not to any one is right or wrong. It's life.

I tried a Tawandang IPA a few weeks ago. Different is how I'd explain it, but not in a bad way. More like a craft type beer with a strong hop flavour. 5.5% Archa I haven't had for ages and haven't seen it where I live. Carabou Dunkel is a nice drop. But getting back to the OP, I shall be checking dates on my next bulk buy... good point to watch out for.

Blazing Saddles has a job for you!
