Popular Post webfact Posted June 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2023 Love it or hate it, there’s a buzz over mint-chocolate drinks in Thailand, after Pheu Thai’s prime ministerial candidate Paetongtarn Shinawatra revealed that it is her favourite beverage. Whether it’s her affection for the beverage, or the flavour itself has always been a subject of debate, many Thais have sought out the drink to try the taste. Behind the “craze” The social media buzz began on May 15th, one day after the general elections took place. As Paetongtarn entered the Pheu Thai headquarters, to prepare for a press conference, she stopped at the party’s cafe, ThinkLab, to buy a glass of “Cocoa Mint”. While greeting reporters along the way, Paetongtarn told them that she loves mint-chocolate and that the party’s cafe made the best, while adding that she needed something sweet to boost her energy for work. Since then, many people (including Pheu Thai supporters) have queued up at the cafe to taste the drink, which saw up to 160 per day orders at its peak. It also sparked social media content suggesting where to get the best mint-chocolate drinks in Bangkok, aside from the cafe at Pheu Thai’s headquarters.

Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted June 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2023 I make my own with a few shots of fresh espresso from the machine, and then add in the mint flavoring as well as some fresh half cream. Adding some grated chocolate and a sprig of mint to the top with a little whipped cream.....a nice desert drink, but way to much damned sugar if you buy it at a coffee shop. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoreFarang Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Win/win. All those fanboys can go now to that place and wait in line with all the other red-shirts together. And the rest of us can just have an espresso somewhere else if possible far away from the red-shirts. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
