feasantplukka Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Bud and Fosters not widley available in Thailand mate Chang, Singha, and Heiniken the common brew, prices differ from location to location 150baht in the go go bars, and 45baht -95baht at beer bars, 70baht to the pound rough guide, your round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mittheimp Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 you are unlikely to get ripped off over the price of beer!! You pay for where u are - expensive in a top hotel or girly place - cheaper in a no thrills bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had you been a real ale drinker you would definitly have noticed the difference between a "Good" beer and the rubbish that we are forced to drink in LOS. The best you can do here is stick to Heineken which is also a tasteless, kiddies drink and comes up to the usuall expectations of the stuff you drink at home. Do not touch Chang as apart from being full of chemicals it has a little more taste than other brews and being much stronger you will only manage to drink a couple to put you in the same condition as a lot more of what you are used to! Apart from that, have a good holiday, there's much more to enjoy besides the beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mumbojumbo Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 If you want a beer similar to Buttwiper, than you can buy a beer named "Archa". I buy 12 big bottles of this stuff for 250 bt for a box of big bottles(12)-not bad, and very economical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lampard10 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 (edited) John Smiths, Tetleys, Old Speckled Hen, Newcastle Brown, Strongbow, Natch, Bud & Fosters is available, as well as Guinness. Also about 40-50 other beers. German beers; Paulaner, Paulaners pils, Paulaner Salvator (7.5 Strong dark beer) Erdinger, Erdinger Dark, Erdinger Champ, Diebels, Warsteiner, Ozzie beers; VB, Crown, CoopersPale Ale, Coopers Stout, Coopers sparkling ale, Fosters, Fosters Light Ice. And plenty more. Beers brewed in Thailand; Leo, Chang, Heineken, Archa, Cheers, Chang Light, Chang Draught, Singha, Sinha Special, Singha Gold, San Miguel, San Miguel Light, San Miguel Pils, San Miguel Blue Ice, San Miguel Red Horse, Asahi, Kloster, Tiger. I've probably missed a few, but if you listen to some people that doesn't matter. Drink what you fancy and make your own opinion. After all I know people that think Fillet steak is horrible, yet coakroaches and maggots delicious. Sorry almost missed the point. You will pay between 45 and 90 baht for a local beer(75p- 1.50p) and upwards from 100 baht to 200 baht for an import. ( 1.70p- 3.40p) Edited July 9, 2006 by lampard10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lampard10 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 what retailers carry coopers stout, newcastle, john smiths and old speckled hen? I checked villa and they dont have these Newcastle & John Smiths you can buy direct from Asia Pacific. I'll PM you with details. Friendship in Pattaya stock Coopers. Old Speckled hen is on Draught in some BKK pubs. I got my Speckled Hen direct from UK. The best two places to buy import beer is Friendship & Carrefoure. Asia Pacific also do John Smiths on draught.
