I'm afraid I hate the stuff, too much of a chemical taste to me. She has made a bit of a gaff

Its beer. She should keep her nose out of politics. Business is business and should stay out if it.

Lest we forget we are about to have a potential civil war because a phone guy took over the country. Rarely (even more so in thailand),is a big bank balance because of a successful company a sign that you know s**t about running a country.

In fact having inherited her wealth and her apparent desire to spoil the company suggest she doesn't know s**t about selling beer either.

Drank 22 big bottles of that once in a night. Maybe a record?

A mere amateur, a sadly departed (banned) member used to have that for breakfast, then go on the piss.

I was unaware. A very foolish move that hurts the employees and investors.

The damage control should be interesting.

I have to translate this for one of my friends and send it to him,. He never liked Singha and only drinks it when we are out. Now I have to say sorry, and move to another brew. Hopefully Chang is ok. I can't find Beer Laos in Hua Hin 7-11s or bars. I don't like the Heineken and that Leo swill is plain awful.

As a tangent, the Dutch owned steakhouse in Ao Nang, aside from offering excellent food has one of the most comprehensive beer lists I have ever seen in Thailand.if you are ever in Ao Nang, check it out. A bit pricey, but you pay for the excellent service and quality. Also the beer price was reasonable.

she changed already her family name.

But for the marketing it is a disaster.

Two relatives own it.

One of the sons make photos with Thaksin --> Anti Thaksin get a bit negative

This daughter makes the red shirts angry....but for a short moment the Suthep Demonstrators love Singha.

The patriarch rants some nonsense and she is kicked out from the family.

Red Angry, Demonstrators angry, neutral people annoyed......worst possible thing.

Pretty much. But she stood for election and won it.

At least Yingluck didn't apparently damage AIS. She might not have contributed much either.

Aside from that, we are trying to keep political discussions out of General topics, particularly when something is already being discussed in Thailand News, which is the case here, where you can choose between these two ongoing topics where to continue:
