Beerlao (dark) in Isan

[latelyo]

Anybody knows the place in Isan where to buy dark Beerlao? I want at least two boxes or more.

[terak]

Most Makro stores stock

[SantiSuk]

Never seen it in Ubon or Sisaket Makro (but it probably goes within minutes!)

[latelyo]

Never seen in Buriram and Surin Makros...

[KhunBENQ]

Never seen at Makro. Only the normal Lager type at TOPS (Khon Kaen).

Until the latest increase of alcohol taxes it was available at Makro, and some other supermarkets.

Since that day it gs completely disappeared from the market, and however Makro still stocks the lager, in the other supermarkets even that isn't available anymore.

Seen in the new Tops RLC Surin.

tops supermarket ubon has it, or did a couple weeks back

[DILLIGAD]

I once saw it in Makro Korat (1025b a box) but more often than not, its unavailable. They were not able to order it too.

Tops may be an option if you want to buy small quantities but probably no good if you want box loads.

A great shame

There is a serious supply problem with the dark version. According to our wholesaler they do not expect to receive more stock until mid May!

Dear Op, dear Mods,

I hope I don't break any TVF laws now, offering my vehicle of transportation to get us "farang" the right type of Benzin, to keep our from Thai wives stressed lives intact.

To answer your question. Better you directly import it without the tax and other formalities. Please see our submarine, stationed near Mukdahan, ten trips a day.

Please page me for more information, it's running with gas. Cheers.-

I thought the law was 12 bottles but the last two times the driver brought 24 back. You could send several of them over. I give them around 40b for the trouble and they are happy to do it. It only takes about 20 minutes.

There was in "interesting" sting operation a short while ago at another border crossing not too far away from the one mentioned. A farang was caught smuggling by police on Thai side so I"d be wary about this option.

The law is 1 liter of alcohol. Customs combines wine, spirits AND beer as alcohol. You can only bring into Thailand 3 cans at 330 mi .

Include in this you can only bring in 200 cigarettes 1 carton. Over here at Chong Chom Border Crossing and the Ban Krut local border market I have seen fines of 15,000 to 50,000 baht imposed on the spot. I have also witnessed, numerous arrested up to 12 persons at a time, being checked into the spacious and beautiful Kap Chong Cross Bar Hotel over these charges, Thai and Farang. Up to you.

[ubonrthai]

That's why you send the taxi motorcycle over.

Please be aware that they usually have checkpoints when coming back from Chong Mek. You won't see them, until it's too late. They'd busted an old German bloke who always brought 100= cartons of Era over, before they'd built that fence.

Then they'll also make a search at your place of residence and it could end up pretty shitty for you. Be aware.

A sting operation on a home because of a few beers? I'm sure there's a bit more to that story.

I've been to the Ban Kruat market (Cambodia side) a few times and you can bring 1 litre of spirit or 1 bottle of wine AND 4 x 330 ml cans of beer. I have mates who go every week and do this...I've had my bags checked a few times and always no problem...
