Hong Thong

[muythai2013]

I opened a bottle recently and it smelled like metho, Is it safe to drink.

I have not touched it since I opened it weeks ago.

[Vinny1967]

I personally wouldn't even drink it if it was fresh out the distillery

But there are many who do, indeed! ( I see empty bottles quite often in the street in the early morning)

Do you normally drink Hong Thong? Or Meths? I'd recommend Brasso, for that inner shine, but individual tastes differ

never had Hong Thong, Like I said I opened it weeks ago but never touched it after I smelled It.

Don't do the Hong Thong. Do Hundred Pipers at the very least but even that isn't too great.

Maybe it always smells like that. It's maybe aimed at real men who feel the blue tinge of meths is a bit girlie. Not as bad as drinking pink diesel though

More than a decade ago, I met my first GF here in Thailand. I remember that one night we did some rather shocking things in the bedroom. I remember that I had to stop because my head suddenly felt like it was splitting in half.

That was because I used to drink a lot of Mekhong. Don't know if they still make this.

------------------------------------------------------

Eventually my GF was rather mischievous. She was the only girl in Thailand who would never cheat. And yet she cheated. She went with a man who was almost 30 years her senior. He was probably the highest paid expat in Thailand, and yet she wasn't interested in his money.

Oddly enough, all of this is contrary to what this forum's experts would have you believe.

----------------------------------------------------

And so I started drinking Hong Thong. I don't remeber the smell. Nor do I remember the taste. Actually, I don't really remember anything.

----------------------------------------------------

In all seriousness, stay off the whisky. It's REALLY bad news. Ditto Chang, Leo and Archer.

These days I only drink paraffin or petrol. It's much more refined.

[muythai2013]

Bottle was given to me, its nearly ten years old, I was thinking of putting it on my cereal.

[Jigger]

I have had it.... Pretty rank taste, but workable if you have mix with a high content of coke...

I have actually found Sam Song (its a RUM) to be very nice going down (with coke), cheap, and most places...

Obviously these are not good options for straight or on the rocks, but I personally believe only the few with odd taste buds, or douches pick these drinks... (I am sure it must be 90% douche)

If you don't smoke, you'd be as well putting it on your dog, for the fleas. If you smoke , you might want to put it on the barbecue, or the weeds

That was funny.

It reminds me of crud about REAL MEN who piss acid and xxxx cement.

I would not drink anything that came out of someone's thong... whether it was Hong's or not.

Spoken like a true Scotsman ;-)

Only thing avaiable where I live. Drink it ll of the time with my Thai friends. Grown accustomed to the taste over the past years when Sang Som (used to be Sang Thip) got overprised.

Really? Only thing? You must be living very remote Wayned?

SC

It was called 'bluebell' back in the day.

To refine the brasso, you filtered it through an unsliced loaf of bread (heels removed) and muslin cloth.

The individual taste came in as to what mixers were used....................

You'll need to do the search yourself, but apparently the recommended approach is to filter it through a sock, to remove the fragments of broken glass, while being careful not to cosh oneself unconscious with the recently-removed safety boot.

Sorry I can't be more helpful but I've been off the Brasso for a while

[muythai2013]

I have drank that clear stuff in Issan that rots your guts.

I have had Ice wine in Germany that is Thousands a Bottle (not at my expense).

I don't care if something's cheap, I don't put on the dog for anyone.

There will come a day when you realize Hong Thong is not just for breakfast alone....................

No need for the search, I have given up those sort of adventures a couple of decades ago!

Yep, the sock is/was a valid replacement for the muslin cloth. Also good to see you are being safety conscious about the working boots.......... , well done!

Time to fire up grandma's old moonshine still in the back garden shed.

[WinnieTheKhwai]

I'll drink it.

I'll drink anything.

Where can I pick it up?
