Popular Post dotpoom Posted March 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2018 I was just mentioning to a friend yesterday how my values have changed over the years....what I used to think was important and worth focusing my attention on.. seems so trivial now. Am not knocking the OP....I'm just once more reminded about the amount of time I wasted during my life. Unfortunately, my lesson could only be learned over many years and different experiences. 3 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey man, I’m really sorry about your unfortunate past. I hope I didn’t stir up many bad memories. I just wanted a kick for a really long day of work and 7 eleven is next door. Pointless drinking it if it’s just a milkshake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myself and a mate were talking about this yesterday , We came up with 2 new words. Ferlangera ..........Someone who bangs on about how things are not the same here as back home. Ferlungabore ..................Someone who gets you cornered and when there is no room to escape goes on about the same thing over an over. Now me and mate are well into retirement age another thing I have not heard since being here , arriving 2005 is ' Sorry , can't stop '. These are the best days ever.

Autonuaq Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 They say its that thea seems to contain more cofeine then coffee. If worry so much you always can take decafee and they say that also seem to have problems. At all stores and shops I would worry more about the water that is used. You drink bottled water because all say tap water is not good. Most shops use tap water for coffee, noodle and food And if filtered, what kind of filters and how well maintained? And many prole who claim to have problems with cafeinie in cofee and what administer doses of cafenine that are the same or even higher have problrms at all. When provide a placebo they have. For most people it is between the eard Cofeine has a good effect on your heart, prostate and other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justfine Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Austrian entrepreneur Dietrich Mateschitz was inspired by an existing energy drink named Krating Daeng, which was first introduced and sold in Thailand by Chaleo Yoovidhya. He took this idea, modified the ingredients to suit the tastes of Westerners,[5] and, in partnership with Chaleo, founded Red Bull GmbH in 1987 in Chakkapong, Thailand.

toofarnorth Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Only ever been called a ferlung , never been called a ferang . Maybe there are parts of LoS where 1 ferlung will call ferlung a ferang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefan Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I use those ice coffees in an emergency sometimes - think (based on my reaction-am fairly sensitive to caffeine) they have the level of caffeine of a normal cup of coffee - around 100mg for a cup. The base is probably instant coffee which has a bit less - so 60-80mg might be a closer guess. Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M150 is 10mg caffeine/100ml Kritang Daeng (Red Bull) is 32mg/100ml Lipovitan is 50.1mg/100ml M150/RedBull are sold in 150ml bottles, Lipo in 100ml So, to max out on caffeine, it has to be Lipo.

Would this be a Thai dictionary or English. In 12 years I have never ever been called a farang by a Thai or ferlung.

DogNo1 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Here is some information: https://www.caffeineinformer.com/the-complete-guide-to-starbucks-caffeine You will find that brewed coffee contains more caffeine that espresso, cafe latte or cafe mocha. So far as the sports drinks, the caffeine content should be on the label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you are trying to communicate to a primarily english speaking audience, would you not consider using the English language correctly, maybe you might find people actually understand what you are talking about without scratching their heads. I would imagine most English dictionaries ( & Thai for that matter) would make reference to the word farang. A suggestion...go to google & type in...define farang ..then try again with whatever the nondiscript word you are using is...you might find the result enlightening ! CANDA.

Yeah, that would make Red Bull about 50mg. I heard a venti ice coffee from Starbucks (not sure if same in Thailand) has about 300mg in it. I’m not sure why people go wild over those little things and say they have magic qualities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultName Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Don't know about the caffeine content, but love the stuff. Large one from Family to sip while having a foot massage to start the day, it's one of my favourite things to do with my clothes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
