chubby Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 eg a case of beer lao, i think i saw a case at carrefour before but the price was the same as buying by the bottle, where could one consistently find the Beer Lao , if one can't find like any non lager like IPAs etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJo Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Villa market has some imported beers at least in Paradise Park so i'd assume they have them in Sukhumvit as well. By the bottle and expensive compared to locals. Beer lao by case, your best bet could be some of those small distributors operating out of the shophouses supplying smaller bars and restaurants. They are all around so sure someone here knows one close to Sukhumvit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Macro will sell Beer Lao at a discount by the case but you will need to negotiate the discount with the 'liquor manager'. It is possible but the discount is very small, in the region of 5%. Foodland, Central and Villa all sell imported beers but I have never seen them sold by the case. Failing that, there is a black market for smuggled Beer Lao, but it is illegal, you know, so you might get locked up or I will get banned from the forum.

Briggsy Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Makro (sorry, spelling) is a large supermarket specialising in wholesale, but not exclusively wholesale. It has branches in all of Thailand's major centres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are already distributors in Thailand. Depending on the OP's weekly/monthly demand, he can buy directly from a wholesaler or even the importer of his favourite beer. I know some of them. I bought three 30-liter kegs of German beer from the importer for my last party... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litlos Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Based on what some of my friends in Pattaya do is the easiest. Find out where there is a place that has cartons available and see if they will do a delivery service for COD maybe plus a small fee. I have seen 3 slabs of Heineken delivered by scooter for no charge in Jomtiem. My TGF assures me there is a liquor store on Sukhumvit between Phrom Pong and Thonglor BTS on the odd Soi side. Have not verified personally though. Maybe they do delivery? Any delivery option has got to be better than trying to hump home a slab of beer on a hot day. The other option I have used was to get a local bar to order an extra slab for me when doing their order. Paid in advamce with a bit extra for mama san worked, though still had to hump home 600 metres. Local 7/11 now carries my 2nd preference so have given up on bulk purchases. Please post how it works out as I reside in lower Sukhumvit when off work and onshore and always looking to improve. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkinbkk Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I thought they carry Beer Lao in Villa Market? In that case there are 2 Villa Markets within walking distance of each other in lower Suk...1 in Soi 11 and 1 in Ploenchit Center if you ask, they will sell you a case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all around so sure someone here knows one close to Sukhumvit. Not sure whether you'd class it as lower Sukhumvit but there's one of these distribution places on soi 23, presumably to supply soi Cowboy. Or for imported beer there's this company: http://www.fluidasiapacific.com/home.php (I know the site talks about draught beer but I'm pretty sure the London Pride is bottled.)

tutsiwarrior Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 has anyone heard anything about the ASEAN free trade arrangement? where supposedly folks with good beer like Laos, Vietnam and Indonesia can peddle their beer freely in LOS...someone said that a gang of corrupt somchais from the local thai breweries managed to scupper the deal with taxation to ensure that beer drinkers in Thailand could only drink the reasonably priced local horse piss in perpetuity... personally, I can drink Bier Hanoi, 333 and Bintang all day long...one boddle of Chang, Leo, Singha makes we wanna puke...and go straight back on the vodka... 'and why don't you like our national beer, falang?...does it offend your western sensibilities, falang?...'... 'no, and you don't like it either, Mr Somchai...a nice boddle of Johnny Walker (ugh!) is more to your taste...or a can of american budweiser...the native beer is vulgar, we understand...'
