jamora Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Chang Classic for the taste. Also like Beer Lao. Preferred Carlsberg when it used to be here. Never tried Leo or Tiger. Don't like the taste of Singha or Heinekin. Asahi for Japanese.Posted with Thaivisa App http://apps.thaivisa.com Then you will be happy to find that Carlsberg is back in Thailand I normally don't drink any domestic beer, but when I do I drink Singha or Asahi.

Kumiankka Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 It's Tiger for me @ LOS, whenever available. Posted with Thaivisa App http://apps.thaivisa.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxwellsDemon Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I used to go for the Tiger, especially in their early days in the Thai market as that "new fancy kinda-foreign beer," but now I'd just as easily part with less money for Chang or Singha.

chops Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Chang is the best. The main selling point is the 6.4% alcohol content. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) Just came back from a trip to Cambodia where they had loads of locally produced dark beers (in addition to their pilsners/lagers).... wonderful.... tried and enjoyed every one I could find... Then back to BKK and NOTHING.... Well, imported Beer Lao Dark, which is OK.... But the Cambodian darks were more in the style of Guinness, and there's nothing locally produced here that's remotely similar. BTW, the OP failed to list San Miguel and San Miguel Light as locally produced beers here in Thailand.

I didn't know San mig was produced in Thailand, i thought it was imported from the Phillies. Who drinks it here anyway? I've not seen many people drink it here and your the first to mention it in this topic. Well, sorry for the "Failure" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Yes, apparently, San Miguel bought out a prior Thai brewery back in 2004 and converted it to producing the Thai version of their beers, SM regular and SM light. Easy to find in both supermarkets and many restaurants and pubs around central BKK. Not sure about the availability upcountry. I like it for its clean taste, and I like the practice of serving the SML bottles with a slice of fresh lime to flavor the beer a bit. It's usually priced similar to Leo and Chang, and less than Heineken. And at least for me, no hangover or other ill-effects from drinking SML, unlike some of the other local beers. Acquired brewery assets of Thai Amarit Brewery Co. in 2004 and named it San Miguel Brewery (Thailand) Ltd.PRODUCTION FACILITY 1 Brewery in Pathum Thani, which is About 25 km from Bangkok http://www.sanmiguelbeerinternational.com/business-unit-thailand.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paangjang Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 Leo seems to have overtaken Singha. I think this is probably due to the price difference. IMO Singha has a better taste, being slightly more bitter. Also along with Chang draught and export it doesn't seem to ever give me a headache like Leo or Chang origional. Was in a restaurant the other day, reading through the menu i saw they had Tiger, Singha, Leo and Elephant beer! Took me a couple of seconds to figure it out, haven't heard that one before.!

JBL Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Chang Export - love it, it's got to be well chilled Tried most of the others but prefer Chang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCM Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) I didn't vote, because there is No separate Box for Chang Classic, why is it combined ? The other ones like Export and Draught are oke once in a while (read when they ran out of Classic) but Classic is the one for me. Leo. Singha (After drinking that I always end up with a Headache) Heinken (Too sweet) San Miguel (Oke once in a while) Beer Lao (Prefer the dark one) Angkor Beer (The Gold Can) Edit: // Forgot Archa Beer Edited April 20, 2012 by MJCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because there isn't a separate vote box for every version of every beer from every cooperation? Its meant to be a simple poll, just for fun and interest on an internet forum. Sorry you felt so strongly that you decided not to vote. Thailand attracts all sorts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackes Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Singha is the absolute best beer in Thailand, unfortuantly most of the time not available out in the sticks, then Leo is the substitute. Chang is simply to strong to be a good beer, but if I want to get drunk it's OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaninlamphun Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Singha cold small bottle is the best for me,if im feeling the need to save a few baht its then leo again very cold,they all give me a headache after about 6 bottles,carlsberg was always my choice until it became unavailable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
