OneMoreFarang Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 9 hours ago, Jingthing said: I know exactly what you're saying. Thailand is a beer country on steroids. But actually I'm not surprised. Coffee is very powerful. It's addictive. It wakes us up in the morning. It literally chases the poop out. If we need to focus on something tedious, it's speed in a cup. And some of us actually like the taste. I like my coffee strong and black. One thing I have almost completely given up in Thailand is wine. I just can't stomach the rip off prices. I am also an coffee fan, or more precise an espresso fan, obviously black. I like a beer from time to time but even pre Covid I had weeks without even one beer. And I agree with the wine. What should cost 200B cost at least 5 times as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair it's better than Nescafe. But far away from Italian Espresso.

Saltire Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 (edited) Never liked coffee, was always a tea drinker, still am. Used to have to take a forced random coffee when I worked in the corporate world of endless meetings and nobody ever thought someone my not want coffee. So I will stick to beer, though recently, due the fact I can only buy Leo and Chang, I have gone off beer too, only having one or two once or twice a week. An hour drive to buy even Singha or Heineken at a MiniC, and 3 hours to buy any foreign beers. As long as I can get a selection of teas I am happy. Except when the wife keeps breaking the teapot lids, we're an on to the 3rd teapot now. Thanks again for a non-vaccine related post.

A horrible mixture. Even a beverage thread a springboard to another tedious anti-American jab. At the prime Starbucks nearby in Chiang Mai If I wanted hot coffee I would order an "Americano" as they don't do the regular drip you must queue at a fancy-pants counter where a Barista bespoke grinds and prepares single servings using devices resembling a chemistry set. Takes at least 10 minutes. By the way STARBUCKS ground french roast from a supermarket is superior to any local grown coffee, in my honest opinion, I wont waste any more money on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
