Dawn Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Been reading all about the low alcohol Singha gubbins today and was thinking to myself that Chang is my beer of choice when in Thailand. But after reading all about the crappy chemicals they put in the beer - be it formaldehyde, ethanol or whatever - I've decided that maybe I shouldn't be drinking bloody beer at all. My drink of choice here in the UK is Smirnoff - triple distilled and as pure as you're going to get (is this true??). Anyhoo, can you get Smirnoff or Stoli (Stolichnaya) in Thailand?

Firefan Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Yes to both. And very resonably priced too. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jockstar Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Anyhoo, can you get Smirnoff or Stoli (Stolichnaya) in Thailand? I know that you can. get it. But have no idea how much in supermarkets. Was at Country Road Suk Soi 19 and in there for 2000 baht you can get a litre bottle of Smirnoff and mixers free.

Dawn Posted September 1, 2005 Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 That's pretty ###### expensive though eh? You can get a litre bottle over here for £12-£13, sometimes cheaper if there's an offer on. Did you get a lot of mixers with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefan Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Country road is a BAR! Suermarket about $ 10 (and up) depending on brand (there are some cheaper but tastes like window cleaner) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawn Posted September 1, 2005 Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 2,000 THB still a good price for a bar if there's a few of you and you haven't got far to walk home! The $10 supermarket price has calmed me down - thought I might have to take out a bank loan to feed my addiction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thetyim Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Vodka here starts at 230 baht for a bottle of window cleaner and Smirnoff (red label) is about 1000 baht in Tesco. Being a gentleman of refined taste I, of course, prefer the window cleaner because I can buy four bottles and get rat-arsed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRIPxCORE Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 It's my understanding that Stoli has a lot of additives which would make it kind of unpure. Most vodka have a lot of additives in them. The ones I know about that are pretty clean and pure are Smirnoff and Kamchatka (sp?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
