Austhaied Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I will be going down from Pai to Chiang Mai next month (Sunday 11th) for a celebration. It is our wedding anniversary on the 11th and my birthday on the 15th.I would like somewhere nice to take the missus for a meal and maybe a Guinness. Exactly where where is O 'Malleys (for a boy from the bush), I know where Tha Pae gate and the airport are and usually manage to find Lotus but where is the pub with lots of beer? Thanks, Colin You get a decent Guinness at "The Queen Vic" in Chiang Mai as well.. http://www.queenvictoriainnsthailand.com/Q...angmaiindex.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuniorExPat Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Too right there's nothing wrong with it..It's blooming great.. IMHO the Guinness at the Laughing Leprechaun takes some beating and the food is some of the best western grub in town - just a shame that it has a tendency to be very quiet . . . . maybe we can do something about that!

lamphun Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 (edited) What's the shelf life of a keg of Gunness if you only sell a couple of pints a night ? Edited February 15, 2007 by lamphun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackr Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 And last but not least, the "Guinness" on tap was sublime..Great atmosphere to boot.. You're into your Malaysian stout then? I have found the atmosphere to be pretty good in there at times to be fair. I am an Aussie not a pom, i don't sweat the small stuff. If it tastes good, it is good.. I can see why you wouldn't, hailing from the land of xxxx and fosters. Malaysian Guinness? If you call it Royal Stout then that is good stuff but no need to mock the real black stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackr Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 What's the shelf life of a keg of Gunness if you only sell a couple of pints a night ? Ask Wetherspoon. Apparently he buys it cheap near the end of its shelf life and then sells it cheap because he knows it will shift. Good excuse to finish the keg off yourself if you're only selling a couple a night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miltonbentley Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 What's the shelf life of a keg of Gunness if you only sell a couple of pints a night ? Guinness told me that in Thailand you must sell a keg within 5 days so the shelf life is bugger all. That is why a) most pubs don't sell it and in the ones that do sell it and don't have the throughput the quality is sometimes ropey. The shelf life in Europe is much longer but then everyone has a refrigerated celler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austhaied Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 VB rocks Too right. Unfortunately i can't seem to find one around the traps lately.

Yeah, I've seen that stuff in UK pubs... all the women drink it. Real beer, real men? Oz? bit of a misnomer there me thinks. All a bunch a lager louts the lot of ya About the best drop in that part of the world is Speights and that's NZ Myth about the warm beer btw.. your embarrasing yourself now. Granted there are one or two that are served at room temp for maximum flavour for the codgers, but everything else is served appropriately - we do have fridges.

Blinky Bill Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 HelloI am in Chiang Mai. Can someone direct me to the Red Lion. thank you in advance Chiang Mai is a good startng point. The Red Lion is on Loi Kroh road but after you have crossed Chang Klan (the night Bazaar road). Its about 80 yards up on the right. Tusker, I assume your directions originate from heading east on Loi Kroh Rd from the Khlong end? Not so long ago the Red Lion was on the left side of Loi Kroh about 50-60 mts past Changklan Rd. Are you saying it has now moved into the car park on the right side of the road? That's news to me, but I've been away for a short while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
