I get my Budweiser from Friendship, in Pattaya. There are also two other outlets, both beer warehouses, or wholesales, one in Naklau and one one two road opposite the TMB bank. Best used to stock it as well. Try going to a bar that sells it in BKK and ask where they get it from. Otherwise it's a trip to Patters I guess.

Villa stores sell Budweiser in Bangkok - of course you could just make your own by buying Kloster and adding 20% water There are several Mexican restaurants in Bangkok - I am not a great fan but Senor Pico in the Rembrandt Hotel is quite nice. I'm sorry I can't help you locate a gourmet establishment equivalent to Taco Bell however. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantilley Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 (edited) Coyote on Soi Convent (Near Sala Daeng BTS station) is the best Mexican restaurant I've found in Bangkok. Budweiser - I think the Hard Rock Café (Siam BTS) may have it, can't be 100% sure though. Edited May 12, 2006 by dantilley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monochaser Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Bud can be had at Villa Market Ploenchit for 109 baht per long neck bottle or at Villa shop on Sukhumvit around soi 11, 110 baht per bottle. Nobody else has it. Used to be avail at Foodland and top floor World Trade as well as another small store I know on soi 13. NO MORE. Why? Too damned expensive due to MASSIVE taxation by Thai Gov't fearing beer imports. WARNING: the Bud you get at Villa is OLD and STALE. Freshest Bud I have found here was 6 months old and it was nasty, but not nearly as nasty as a Chang, which I equate to Moose pea (moose pea taste better and goes down smoother in taste tests). Now please understand that I LOVE BUD but I dont like stale Bud or any beer for that matter. As for Mexican, I love mexi food as you do. I would kill for a Taco Bell. Sorry dude, there is no decent Mexican food in Thailand. They have some mexi here and it is about as good as Thai brewed beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary A Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 When I want a Bud I buy warm Chang and pour it over ice. When the ice is about 60 percent melted you have Budweiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantilley Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I would go for the real stuff from the Czech Republic. But difficult to find here. Now that is a proper beer. Is the Bud they have in the US differnet from the stuff sold in other countries? Because in the UK, Budweiser is watery, thin, weak and tasteless. I only think people ever drink the stuff because they're victims of their marketing campaigns. The Czech stuff, i.e. the real Budweiser, is much better. Never seen it in Thailand yet though, although I imagine it must be available somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monochaser Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Bud does not export well. To have a proper Bud you need a tall can from your local East LA corner store as tutswarrior has stated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taco Bell an' 'good mexican food'?...it's all relative...Taco Bell resembles the garden variety stuff and is cheap...Senor Picos at the Rembrandt has no reference point and is expensive... 'nuff said... edit: I forgot to add that as a Pasadena lad I often went to the original In an' Out Burger on Foothill Blvd in the '50s...strictly takeaway and the best burger in SoCal...the product line always stays wid ye...always get the ole 'In an' Out __urge_' when down Soi Nana...

Got it in one, Bud is an aquired taste (or lack of taste). Drink enough jugs of it and it has the desired effect. Put it in the same catagory as vegemite and durian, you have to grow up with it.

Got it in one, Bud is an aquired taste (or lack of taste). Drink enough jugs of it and it has the desired effect. Put it in the same catagory as vegemite and durian, you have to grow up with it. this discussion raises some interesting points. Yeah, I did grow up with bud but having spent time outside of the US when 15 - 17 y.o. I knew that there are superior brews available in other countries like in Bolivia that didn't have much else (someone said that the local Taquina brewery in Cochabamba was established by nazi war criminals on the run posing as brewing experts...absolutely the best lager I've had anywhere). However on return to the West Coast I went back to bud...better than most west coast beers. Now, having been away for almost 20 years I can't remember what real (US) bud tastes like. I was in a bar in Bahrain frequented by US sailors that stocked plenty of long necked buds and the lads were hookin' 'em down and I had some too...nothing remarkable that I would have remembered. Begs the question...for the permanent expat what does your favorite home beer really taste like when you have been away a long time and most of what you get in other places are poor substitutes?
