That's the point, they've succeeded in doing away with the metallic taste of years gone by. Cans tend to be more consistent than bottles nowadays, craft beer shops have many of both - Raging bitch comes in cans too. Given the choice though I'll pour it into a glass.

Dick Crank Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 silom is a lonely area of town in the evening. i remember living there for a couple months and walking down empty dark streets regularly. it did have a steampunk kind of attraction, reminded me of the movie blade runner, but there are better areas to have a beer in if your not getting off work over there.

It's just that I never ever drink from cans I just don't, I also don't like drinking from the bottle ,water is the only thing I drink from a bottle,I want my beer chilled and in a glass.I bring my own glass to my favourite 7-11.I usually just drink tiger beer in Thailand and that's only because I am obliged to purchase something when I go in a bar and I don't spend much time in them these days.

The manic Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 The pubs closed because they stopped being pubs. They installed TV and showed wall to wall sports..moronic..Pubs are not sports bars .and they blasted out UDM...Pubs are not nightclubs..Plus because of the war on fun.and freedom by the unelected authorites in Bangkok there is just insufficient footall to sustain such places. Its a Sh*te hole these days. Go to Saigon..Its rocking..go to Hanoi. ..Rammed! No footie premier league crap and no wall to wall techno except at the backpacker dumps...I have visited all the pubs mentioned in this article..never returned to one.

Asking 350 baht for a pint of 'Craft Beer' in some places. Little in the way of reasonable prices for food or drink, from what I could see. Paid over 600 baht for street food someplace around soi 18. Area basically deserted after about 6pm because the Thai cannot afford to stay there after work. If rents have spiked too, well, it still boils down to people having to buy your stuff in order to pay the rent, whatever the level. You would have to drag me back, to be honest. No tourist footfall, Some low spending Expats, Arabs, Indians Chinese. Its not pubs that are closing...Its that Bangkok is simply not worth visiting. The Bangkokians now go to Pattaya for a bit of freedom. By killing of street life the authorities killed of a large section of commercial night life. Lower Suk, once one the most interesting stretches of road in the world has all the character of a busted condom. Cultural and economic sabotage.

It's still the most visited city in the world though,I lived for 30 years in Amsterdam plenty of bars now charge €7-10 for a imported craft beer I have seen Cider at €12 for 33cl.met a couple of old friends for a meal and went to a bar in the centrum but away from the centre €50 for 4 scotches and 2 jenevers all the major cities are above my pension grade. I am glad I partied hard when it was affordable and I had a libido.I just go shopping now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
