 I would not drink something that appears to be not clean .

Had food poisoning a few times here already , the sanitary standards are often simply non existing .

 

In 7 years of living in CNX I  average two to three episodes of food poisoning events per year. I have gotten to know the Gastroenterology Department at Chiang Mam Ram very well. The more one eats out in LOS the odds of having Gastro issuee and/or food poisoning increases.  The only safe food or drinks seems to anything that has been cooked and made in a factory. The riskiest food to consume is probably any raw vegetable.  Which is a problme because I like salads.

    You're an idiot for even ordering anything, be it food or drink, from a place run by a Brit. These are the people who think baked beans and warm beer are a culinary cultural heritage.

it's just not worth the hassle these days.

 

bob.

But it is only Thais who act like the Soi 6 guards, no?

Sounds like you were afraid of the Thai wife of the Brit owner. You are apparently hated everywhere you go it seems and you are fearful of a kicking from a little girl.

 

You might get a gig as a castrati with those plums the size of peas. How is your falsetto?

mate, we were in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by thais.

 

the thai wife could've had brothers in the vicinity.

 

it was late at night too.

 

why would I cause a fuss for the sake of 150 baht?

Well, FFS, if some nasty git asked me if I clean my pipes regularly I would probably introduce him to a lot more than just the exit door.

Going to have to side with Bob on this.

 

If a venue is in the middle of nowhere, getting trained service staff of distributors to come flush the system is likely difficult. Also, the keg might be aged, and draft does not have a long shelf life.

 

I've sat in restaurants where the taps are visible (and in an open, al fresco area), and crew from the distributor comes with gear to flush out the system. Go to a place regularly, and you can see this flushing of the system seems to be every few weeks, maybe more often. I'm not sure what builds up in the pipes (not being an expert), but I suspect residue can build up, and in the heat of Thailand, that likely leads to something nasty.

 

In a major city like Bangkok or Pattaya, service personnel can hit a dozen customers in a day, servicing each. Out in the middle of nowhere, where there are fewer venues, regular visits are probably less likely.

 

If far from a major city, maybe it's best to order by the bottle (and check the expiration date).

True dat, he boasts endlessly about how financially blessed he is, yet he can't stop wining about a shiity 150 Baht beer that someone served him just to try to get him to leave the venue. You can't make this shiit up.

If I did have an obsession with them, yours would be wholely unsatisfying do to their size and insignificance.

 

Be careful out and about today. It is lunch time and school girls may be around. Don't give them any side eye or they might give you a whooping. Or worse still their little sisters might join in.

The ladies either call me big boss or daddy.

 

I don't engage with the males except a few close friends who I have known for years.

 

Jimmy is the salt of the earth.

A very, very wise man.

There's no flies on Jim!

40-50 year old ladies calling a geriatric daddy isn't inappropriate. 
 

The "big" reference must be akin to the oversized appendage that protrudes between your waist and your sternum.

I am currently in rural Thailand visiting an old pal of mine called Jimmy.

He took me out to this local pub run by a brit and his Thai wife last night because they had lager on draft and he knows that's what I like.

 

The food was OK and the service was decent.

Then came the pint of lager..

 

As soon as I put the glass to my lips I could smell it.

Like rotten eggs it was,

the smell was too much to bear so I walked up to the bar and told the owner.

I asked him does he clean his pipes regularly or not??

 

the cheeky git kicked me and my friend out claiming we were giving his beer and bar a bad name.

I said go on, taste it yourself then.

he refused and ordered we both leave this second.

Jimmy protested but to no avail.

We paid up and left without leaving a tip.

We were in there all of 25 minutes.

 

Jimmy had been frequenting this dive for years but had never ordered their draft beer before.

I love a good draft so naturally it was the first thing I ordered.

 

seems the brit and his wife can't take any form of constructive criticism.

I hesitate to say that this kind of behavior is normal in nakhon nowhere but I will hazard a guess that it is..

 

bob.

 

Try today again. Maybe you got Bad Karma yesterday.🙏
