People who get just 2 or 3 weeks holiday each year may feel that they deserve a few glasses of wine and regard it as part of their overall enjoyment. It doesn't make them alcoholics.

Unless she went shopping this morning it should have been the same price until her stocks ran out. But she translated a 1 baht increase into 8 baht (on stock she bought weeks ago at the old price) I've been buying water, milk, beer, yakult, eggs etc from her for 2 years primarily to support the locals over the 711 cp guys. Hope she enjoys that 8 baht because it will cost her several thousands of baht in the coming months. Muppets. But if you told her so she would likely just bad mouth you for having a bad heart .

Phuket for example, has several Hashes - some for everyone, some just for men and some just for women Have a look at the Information page on here... Phuket Hash House Harriers On On.... Have met some fine folks in Phuket Hash House Harriers and ridden my mountain bike in one of their trail rides a few years ago. It was fantastic and hope to do it again next time I'm in Phuket!

dunroaming Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 On 9/17/2017 at 4:14 AM, Thechook said: Does anyone actually drink thai wine? Its putrid stuff. Imported wine is so over priced and ridiculous. I noticed a cheap bottle of aussie wine, riverside landing that retails at $3.50 AUD in australia was retailing in Thailand at 650baht. They would be buying it at no more than 50 baht a bottle or $2.00 AUD. Riverside landing is putrid but better than thai wine. Imported wine in Thailand has been overpriced for years. When we moved to the UK seven years ago a bottle of an Hardy's Australian Cabernet sauvignon was 695 baht in Chiang Mai and £4.75 in the UK. Now when in Thailand I stick to spirits, not the Thai ghostly ones just gin and tonics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
