Polarizing Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Hi myanmar specialists! About two weeks ago I went to the kanchanaburi border for my visa exemption. The bus brought us to a "duty free" market kind of place where myanmar whiskey and rum were sold. It was super cheap. 350ml whiskey grand royal for 50 thb, mandalay rum 1000ml for 150thb. I wonder if myanmar whiskey is really this cheap and whether I can safely drink these. Worry abit, but thinking about it. Soju in Korea isn't that expensive too. So anyone got the real prices for these whiskey/rums? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_smith237 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I tried Hong Thong Thai rum the other day... Mixed with cola, one sip was enough, my taste buds warned me of the potential cerebral catastrophe the next day. I refused to drink any more. I’ve never tasted meths or paint stripper, but I imagine it to taste like this. Mekhong & Sang Som, also rough and brutal swill, nectar by comparison. Drink this Burmese stuff at your own risk, trust your instincts. The cost is nothing, but the hangover could cost a lot more ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuketrichard Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Mandalay rum is very inexpensive in country and tastes very good I always buy a bottle on my trips there " Mandalay Rum dates back to 1886, and in its regular inexpensive local dark rum offering in a red-labelled bottle from the Mandalay Distillery, is surprisingly smooth & perfect to sip all by itself, pleasingly sweet but not overly so, with a lovely balance & without harshness.
