cMe2 Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 Some of these establishments may be considered sleazy due to a squalid interior dirt on the floors or wasted patrons loitering for their next fit of whatever.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokie36 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I prefer Cam bodia for beer quality.....relaxed atmosphere and its wider range of eccentric costomers. As I am a man sleaze or dirt are not a concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGhostWithin Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 ^ Yeah, I buy a case and hangout with the local Motosai Taxi riders every Friday night. Real Thailand. Real respect. Last time the GF and I had an argument in TH together we were staying in Sukhumvit for ease of access.. I walked out and got drunk with a motosai taxi driver on the corner of Soi 10 whilst we both had a moan in Thai about the red shirts taking business and disrupting the "sabai sabai" attitude of Bangkok! Ha ha, the best ever! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bri1guy Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Do you mean Juicy bars in Korea? Cambodia is the cheapest for beer booze women but I think the Philippines is 2nd in price .. Thailand is more touristy & abundant for all bars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fxe1200 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 "Thai Beer Bars In General Compared To Cambodia" is probably the wrong question, as I rate beer bars for the beer they sell and nothing else.The common problem in hot countries with beer is, that the beer is being stored to long within high temperatures. Therefore it is indispensable to check the filling date of the bottle being consumed. The probability, that a beer is still fresh, if it has been filled lately, is much higher.Beer which has been sitting in a shop somewhere, and is being imposed to high temperatures, i.e. 25 degrees or more, is dead, has lost its smoothness and turned bitter.Beer out of big bottles tastes always better, than beer form small bottles. The sensitivity to heat differs in between brands. I.e. Beer Singh is more sensitive than LEO, Heineken, which I do not drink because of its missing character, is not sensitive, thanks to the excessive use of preservatives.In the typical refrigerators which are designed to hold only bottles, the top shelves should be used to hold the beer, as the very low department sometimes develops temperatures underneath zero degrees, which will kill a beer immediately.In my favorite Bars in Hat Yai, there are two sections inside the fridge for the beer, one contains the older beer, which is being sold to Thais, who mainly want to get "mau" on beer, and do not buy beer for the taste of it. Sure thing, for some of us it is an ongoing research here in Hat Yai, where to buy the freshest beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we can drink beer from the tab as well, but the you have to put up with the environment of the Novotel, its prices, and the chance is likely, that the beer is served with almost no CO2, and that the lines are not being cleaned on a regular basis, as it is law enforced in Germany. Therefore we care about bottled fresh beer. Hat Yai is different. Beer is sitting in supermarkets for months, not cooled. I have seen beers lately dating back to October 2012! Nobody cares. But we, all Germans, are spoiled. Beer for us is fluid bread, a delicacy, and we want to enjoy it. Therefore, at the other end of the world, we try to make the best out of this situation If others do not care about the true taste of fresh beer, that is none of our business.

I would feel exactly the same, and if I would not know about the negligence of the Thais, how to handle beer, I would either drink piss or avoid it. Give it a shot. Make a blind testing of a bottle of i.e beer Singha having been exposed to heat for 4 weeks, and a freshly filled bottle right out of Boonrawd, preferably the 630ml one. I am well aware, that this country cannot be compared with Germany, when it comes down to the quality or the variety of beer available. The German brew-masters at Boonrawd study their job at Weihenstephan (There beer is being brewed since the year 1040), in Germany. May be one reason, that this beer is the best you can buy in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
