So he's supposed to leave his taxi holding his possessions and walk to the side of the road? Seems risky. Obviously, society needs some social norms and he broke them, but this isn't exactly the crime of the century.

I've never seen vehicles merge onto a thoroughfare without looking anywhere else I've driven in the world. Sure, occasionally you'll see someone do it in a Western country, and you think to yourself, "Wow, that was stupid and if a cop was around he'd be getting a ticket." Here in Thailand pulling out without looking is the norm. And when it happens, who is that most at risk? Motorcycle riders. I can only imagine the amount of carnage that is caused by just this one example of highly dangerous driving behavior that is standard here in Thailand. Failing to either stop or yield at intersections and then turning onto the main roads without even a glance at oncoming traffic. 5 hours ago, steven100 said: Thanks for that information.

Before you get alcohol, you have a bucket full of sugar & yeast (and some other stuff for flavour & trace elements), a lot can go wrong at that stage if the equipment isn't properly sterilised.

In fact I do syphon off the wine a couple of times into a 5 L glass jar. Result is (almost) crystal clear at 20 paces. I make ginger beer, works out around 200b for 15lts and is around 4.5% Might try the grape juice wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CG1 Blue Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Couldn't a bar sell tickets in advance for entrance to a 'private party'? Once in, the bar owner could provide alcohol for his / her guests for free. Thus not selling alcohol. But I suppose the Thai authorities don't tolerate smug b trds exploiting loopholes in the law.

No doubt the wine experts will insist on brewers yeast, but what the heck, I can assure you it looks like wine and tastes like wine and gives the required buzz. Never a problem with the brew going bad.These days inertia has taken over and I just order 10 L of Mont Clair from Tesco Lotus with a delivery charge of 60 baht. They probably use a similar method without the plastic bucket -- or do they? Maybe I should demand royalty payments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
