    Me? Tiger or Tsingtao or...

    Tiger beer is produced by Heineken Asia at TAPB brewery, Nonthaburi.

    Tsingtao beer is produced in Thailand.  https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/bizchina/2011-10/18/content_13921604.htm#:~:text=The company's branch in Thailand,production output in the world.

     

    Which of the two do you prefer? Are they much more expensive than Singha/Leo/Chang?

    Because no thai man wants them.

    Over the years I have asked a number of Thai women, most with children, why they are single. Usual reasons.

    1. Thai man no good.

    2. Thai man lazy and drink too much. 

    3. Thai man gamble, lose money.

    4. Thai man like boom boom too many ladies.

    5. Thai man, he angry, he beat me.

    It doesn't matter what their background, many Thai men are lazy and let the women do the work.

    Many, however are very hard working, so I am not trying to generalize..

    A 25-year-old Thai woman enters Thailand on November 28 with the 21-year-old above. After arriving in Don Mueang Airport on the same day, she takes a flight to Phichit to stay with another friend. They go out to dinner at Bird Bar in Phichit with another three friends. None of them wear masks.

    No airport in Phichit, so she traveled to Phitsanulok and then bus to Phichit? probably.

    I'm looking to buy an air compressor in the 4-5,000bht range. Anybody have an opinion on which brand names are reputable.

    I have a similar, older model about this size. Reliable for the jobs you want to do. As others have cautioned, not big enough for painting seriously.

    I too wish Thailand would significantly lower taxes on beverages with low alcohol content (i.e. up to 14%), so that wine becomes more affordable and also, especially beer.

    Maybe cut the tax by 50% from 5 to 14% of alcohol content and do away with it completely for under 5.5% alcohol content, so light beers can be a cheap relaxing pleasure again.

     

    Furthermore, I'm unsure what the time restrictions for purchasing alcohol are supposed to achieve. Someone suggested it was to prevent youth's access to alcohol, but this would defy basic logic: 12:00-14:00 - alcohol allowed for sale, children are on lunchbreak. then, allowed again after 17:00, when children have come out of school already...

    This whole subject of limited hours for the purchase of alcohol is absurd. Supermarkets and 7-11s are well controlled with CCTV, cash registers, receipts etc.  Yet, I can send our 12 year old nephew down to the little old lady that lives down the lane, any day of the week, and he will return with whatever number of bottles of cold beer. No questions asked. BTW he hates beer. 

    The best answer to this problem is to plan your alcohol purchases to times that are convenient or available.  The booze barons are members of the elite who run this country, and they can all afford to drink the finest wines and alcohol in the world. They aren't interested in the ability of the plebs to buy booze.
