Since when have beer corps press releases been news?

[villagefarang]

Anything which distracts from the news headlines of drugs, human trafficking and murder are welcome, as far as I am concerned. I don’t drink but that does not keep me from being a big fan of Singha Park in Chiang Rai. It is an absolutely beautiful, well run place and it gets better every year.

I'd like to visit this place. Map reference or how to get there directions please.

Step 1: Open Google Maps

Step 2: Type "Singha Park chiang Rai"

Step 3: Let the magic happen.

"Singha is the national beer of Thailand made by a German brewmaster" - German brewmaster who has obviously forgotten what the 'purity law' is.

I used to call into the shop for the bottled mulberry juice until I realised it was cheaper in Tops.

This just In: Chang Beers announces they are build Water Park right beside Beer Singh.

The water will be used for tourism and also for the rice farmers in the North East.

Chang beer wins again.

[retarius]

Does anyone still drink Beer Singha? At my local it's been about 2 years before I saw anyone drinking it. Leo was #1 favorite until the new Chang Classic hit the streets, and indeed I've returned to Chang.

It's a long pump from Singha Park to the rice farmers of Issan.

The whole of Thailand now seems to be a beer theme park.

You can go on all sorts of thrilling rides - watch the drunk driving the minibus, the will it-won't it derailing train, the white knuckle aircraft, the Balcony drop, the tunnel of vomit and many many more.

Plans are already in place for Yabbaland.....

[SOTIRIOS]

...seems like an advertisement.....

[Langsuan Man]

What I don't understand is that the authorities can close down "beer gardens" because of the prohibition on advertising but you can open a park with the brand name in the title and that is OK

[villagefarang]

The park provides jobs, grows tea and other crops while focusing on tourism, festivals and sporting events. It is not a place to sit and get drunk nor does it directly promote the consumption of alcohol. They are doing something good with all that money people throw away on their product. I don’t see the problem.

[Rotweiler]

If we want to be technical about the "park"... it is actually named Boon Rawd Farm. The golden lion placed in a predominant place in the park/farm is the only reference Singha.

It is a fully functioning farm rather famous for mulberry juices and teas. It is not a beer park as some have suggested. In fact beer is only found in a few locations in the farm

and there us certainly no pub or beer tent there.

Singha have been working on the park for a lot longer than many people realise.

My sister in law was seriously injured while working there at least 20 years ago.

I'll add that the family claim she was very well looked after by the company as well as adequately compensated for her injuries.

Great marketing by Chang. Reduce the alcohol, reduce the volume, increase the price, but change the colour of the bottle. It worked with half the farang round here.

It's always a nice day out at Singha Park. My son loves the giraffes and zebras, my wife and I love the excellent restaurant with amazing views. Go there for dinner at sunset - it's stunning.

The zip-line is a little expensive but the bike rentals are a good deal and there is no better way to enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
