    If you're looking for alcohol then just save your time and money and drink that Thai rice whiskey which is similar to gasoline or jet fuel. Without giving my full review right now as it's only been an hour in (if that), but I got home from my daily exercise routine, took a quick shower, and now about halfway through one of those Nite Hunters. I find it to be quite appealing. Nice taste and a pretty decent buzz thus far. It's supposedly 6.8% so that's ok for me as it's doing the job, but then again I have yet to eat any dinner....... Dinner and then #2 coming! For me, so far, Night Hunter and Snowy are pretty much a draw for my liking. Now I have 2 'go to' favorites, thanks Tropicalevo for the recommendation... 👍

    Ok, I found some Night Hunter at my local Big C today and picked up 4 cans (89 THB/can). I didn't realize it but Full Moon has a few different varieties of IPA. I picked up a 4-pack of the 'Say Play' variety. We'll see how it fairs to my taste buds. Tonight after my scheduled evening exercise routine I'll try the Nite Hunter as I'm anxious for a decent buzz. Will report back at a later date after I've tried both. Thanks to those that recommended some different choices. Cheers 🍻
  4. Is that North America, South America, or Central America?
  5. Not sure lately as i haven't looked nor care to but didn't that Dan fellow post all sorts of his YouTube videos while prancing around Pattaya? Has AN changed the rules or are they playing favoritism? On topic..... I wish my parents as well as my sister (who passed last year) were still around to communicate with. I do have a brother I message and video with often (weekly at minimum). And I also keep in contact with cousins, nephews, and nieces. It's nice to have family, to some degree!
  6. "How much did you pay for your 'Lilac Diesel'?" I do see where he said 10 THB a gram.
  7. Maybe someone should start yet another post about how to obtain an account at a Thai bank....both with a yearly visit extension and with just a visitor visa. I'm unsure how many previous threads have been made about this subject but I'm sure its in the double digits......as well as posts like this that get highjacked on that subject.
  8. Ignore him, he's trying to backtrack from his OP..... Maybe he should save face and edit it......
  9. ....and just why do you say that?
  10. My good buddy Elon would say Mars... 😃
  11. .....and obviously crying on a forum about the limitations and asking for an alternative....duhhh
  12. I did. I mentioned going into a True store and topping up. Easy to find a True store, you do have a connection to the Internet, don't you? Besides, I wasn't the one that said ONLY 7-11.
  13. Yes, when there are nice wide sidewalks they are typically cluttered with items the stores drag outside during business hours displaying their goods.
  14. Not so surprised there's some pretty ugly mugs amongst us. Just surprised they would show themselves.
  15. Are you for real or just real high?
  16. I agree, but didn't you say it was the ONLY way? "As a foreigner the only way to top it up is to go to a 7/11 with cash and do it there."
  17. Why not just walk into a True store and top it up there?
  18. ...or floods....hurricanes.....tornados....blizzards....arid areas.... LOL, are you for real? Maybe those in Japan should start migrating to the UK soon?
  19. I understand with what you are saying and tend to agree but...... .......the location where this picture was taken is actually a pretty major street and as I said a high tourist area. The street is only one lane in each direction but the lanes are big enough to be two....and each side has large parking areas marked off so there's plenty of space to accommodate a nice fat clear sidewalk. BTW, not only is it a tourist area but that sidewalk pictured is right next to a popular temple. .......if the sidewalk was nice and wide it would probably be cluttered at times with vendors. On a positive note, they are removing many of the overhead lines and putting them underground.
  20. Well the area I posted with all the objects impeding a nice clear sidewalk unfortunately is in a high tourist traffic area and it's difficult to maneuver around with other pedestrians. Plus I really don't like the cobwebs hitting me in the face. And as for the florescent bulb, my camera happened to lighten the area when actually it was nearly 7pm when the pic was taken and the area was darker making it harder to see it, as well as any dog chit.
  21. The point is on the top of your head......(and the look is fitting)
  22. ......and another reason is potential hazards such as this florescent glass tube.
  23. Who says that Thailand is pedestrian friendly? One of the reasons scooter drivers don't ride on the sidewalks. One of the reasons I generally walk carefully, with eyes wide open, on the edge of the streets.

    I finished my exercise routine and got home about an hour ago. I opened up the first Full Moon IPA. I have to admit it went down rather smoothly and tasted fine. It gave me a nice pleasant buzz. Right now I'm working on number three. I'm sure I'll finish this 4 pack soon with no problems. I have to admit it pairs nicely with some of this gorilla cookie buds that I got. Although I like the Full Moon IPA I think my first choice is still the Snowy IPA with it being slightly cheaper, at least where I'm at, and it has a little bit more fruity taste to my liking. However the Full Moon IPA would definitely be on the list for a second choice. Now on my exercise walk/run tonight I went to a new 7-Eleven looking to see what they had to offer. This 7-Eleven for Full Moon had the wheat, which I've tried before and didn't like. Then it had some strawberry flavored Full Moon of some sort, but it didn't have the IPA I mentioned 7-Eleven because I was waiting to cross the road to enter the 7-Eleven and as doing so a car came down and clipped the mirror of a parked car on the side which I was on. The car that actually hit the mirror didn't even stop. It did hit the brakes and tend to slow down but didn't stop. It just continued on. Let this be a lesson, if you park your car somewhere retract the mirrors if you can, it might save them.

    They didn't have cans but I did pick up this 4 pack today at my local Makro....at 258 THB it's slightly more than the Lao Dark. I never had it before and it's chilling in the fridge now. I'll report later tonight after my exercise routine what I think about it. Thanks for the suggestion... tell me, do you know, is the can product any different in taste than the bottled one?
