I used to drink Chang but that's looney juice, I can't stand Singha and I drink Leo when out & about so at home I have what I want & that is Archa, each to their own my friend, each to their own ???? Correct! I agree re Chang bottled beer being "looney juice", but draught Chang is nectar by comparison. My normal "beer" (it's all lager beer) of choice is Tiger, but draught Tiger is not one of my recommendations! Leo is my 2nd choice bottles wise, I agree with you re Singha,and Heineken here I find is tasteless, San Mig Light is overpriced, so as you say - each to their own!

Chongalulu Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Over the 7 years I’ve been here I’ve noticed the 24x crates of Soda water I drink (my only tipple) have shot up to around 140 baht per crate - so have some sympathy ! ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as it's moderation like most things, because I am sure you are aware that there are loads of fatty livers out there from drinking alcohol, which of course we all enjoy, (every now and again for me), why, because our bodies have a hard time getting ride of the substances created that are even more harmful than the alcohol we consumed, i.e. once our liver has removed it, those substances are the ones that damage the liver cells and cause liver disease over a period of time, excessive drinking accelerates this, ever wonder why most drinkers have a beer gut ????.

I just go for Leo as I dislike SIngha and Chang, and Heiny is usually over-priced. Singha is a subsidiary of the Leo brewery, as is U and Asahi. Archa is an offshoot of Chang. The Heineken brewery(TAP) also does Cheers, Tiger, Guiness & Kilkenny. Spoilt for choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy a box of 24 small bottles or cans (any brand) for around $54 at Dan Murphys in Brisbane, thats equals 100 baht for a large bottle.

You will have to tell me where, around here they have jumped from around 150 to the 175/180 mark. Rock & Singha keep leap frogging and leading the way.

I'll drink Chang in a pinch but have found a few too many gives a rough hangover, likewise Singha, actually a good tasting beer, but rough the next day. Beer Lao is good.

bkk6060 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Who cares. Do a taste test sometime with these Thai beers and real import beers. I did and spit the Thai beer out.

Then I drank Beer Laos on a 90 day turn around. Eyes & taste buds opened. Really didn't take much as I drank Ales & porter/stouts in the USA anyway. Could give me a Bud for free, and I wouldn't drink it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I was fully expecting the price to stay the same, but the bottle size to decrease. It won't be long before a large bottle of beer will drop to 600ml. And the % volume to decrease again with added water to stretch it out a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
