Michael W Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Looking for a good, well stocked liquor store, something with a wider selection than Foodland or Big C. In particular I have a taste for rum, Cruzan Dark just for a nice buzz, or perhaps Ron Matusalem Gran Reserve for those special occasions. Anywhere in a ######ing 'world city' like Bangkok I might be able to find that? Jeez, JWB gets old after a while and don't get me started on that benoak piss, 100 Pipers.

Spaniel Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 you might try either of the Villa markets on Sukumvit soi 1 or soi 33 but may not have much more to offer than Foodland. Lotus supermarkets have pretty big liquor departments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florin Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I second the Soi 33 Villa Market, be sure to also go upstairs for a booze-only floor with some pretty nice stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baan_yangyai Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I second the Soi 33 Villa Market, be sure to also go upstairs for a booze-only floor with some pretty nice stuff Do they have strong beers upstairs in Villa Market ?

Florin Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Not a beer connoisseur, but I do seem to remember they had Guinness and Murphy's in there...Strong enough for ya? I really don't normally look at the beer section, so someone more informed should reply about that, but they do have the widest selection of booze I've seen in BKK, so it's as good a bet as any.

Michael W Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 I second the Soi 33 Villa Market, be sure to also go upstairs for a booze-only floor with some pretty nice stuff Thanks, I made it over there a couple of days ago and was indeed impressed with the second floor selection compared to what I've found previously in Foodland, Big C, Tops, etc. They even had Grey Goose vodka (though only the girly orange flavor), but unfortunately not the rum I was looking for. I ended up settling on some rotgut called Baita (about 350 for a 700). Couldn't find much about it Googling but it's reasonable for a buzz.

visarunner Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 you can try also Villa in Sukhumvit Soi49, just before to SamitiveyHospital, on the left side if you come from Sukhumvit, I found them well stocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted February 11, 2006 Author Share Posted February 11, 2006 New liquor store located in the basement level of Siam Paragon (Great Grocery store as well!)If you mean the liquor shop actually within the grocery store (off on the left side), I also checked that one out a couple of days ago. Unfortunately, their rum stock is significantly less than the Soi 33 Villa Market. I did buy a 400 baht, 750 ml, bottle of Ron Rio rum. I've had better but not too bad for the price.
