  1. Nice!

    Jose Cuervo Reserva De La Familia is probably the nicest I have ever tried. I was in a great Tequilla Bar in Mexico city and asked the Owner to line up what he considered to be, six shots of his best Tequilla. After 'Blind-tasting' them all, I chose the Jose Cuervo Reserva De La Familia. Haven't been able to find it in Pattaya as yet.

    My favourite accessible Tequila is probably KAH.

    I mainly like aged (reposado, anejo,, extra anejo) Agave for sipping and blanco for mixers. Most places carry the bottom of the barrel brands/labels, labels that are not 100% blue agave, or stuff that should not be labeled as Tequila.  Patron is ok if you can not find a different (better) Tequila. Why do I say this? Too many people fell for Patron's marketing campaign because they flooded the clubs and other places with their prduct. There are quite a few Tequilas that taste better than Patron yet costs 50~75% less. 

     

    If you want to enjoy your agave, check for "made from 100% Blue Agave" on the label and the CRT number that indicates that it is a certified Tequila. Better Tequilas are always 100% Blue agave. Only 51% Blue Agave plus other sugars is required to be certified as Tequila but the harvested Blue Agave plant can only be from the Tequila producing region of Mexico. Everything else made with Agave s Mezcal. Tequila is a Mezcal but Mezcal is not a Tequila.   

     

    Here is a pic of GOOD Tequila:

    Very Nice collection. I applaud your tastes and insights. And, I thank you for sharing. Personally, I find the KAH Silver to have the best bouquet of any Silver and, I have tried dozens. I also feel that, if you want to taste the Agave fruit rather than the oak tannins-tequilla-BLEND, then the Silver alone, affords that opportunity whereas, the Anejo and, even Reposado are a different drink, due to the blending of essences. 

    That's not to say that I don't love them, but just that I am promoting the virtues of the Silver that may not have occurred to you. 

    Once again. Thank you. 

  3. None of the above categories. I moved out of tourist areas several years ago.

    My life since then has been fantastic.

    Cost of housing try 1 mil: bht for a 5 double bedroom 6 wet room place was 6 bedroom but have changed one to a western style kitchen.

    Other cost are Thai prices not the over inflated ones some have to fork out.

    Xenophobia and the likes doesn't exist here, in fact on the contrary the locals go out of their way to welcome you in.

    Driving on roads where I live are a doddle not to much traffic well only on holiday weekends.

    Regards the Visa if you have the right amount of monies and requirements all is easy.

    A trip once a year to the office how simple can that be.

    People make their own problems go with the flow Thai fashion get away from tourists areas and you will find your life will improve 500%

    Off now have just had my BKK Post delivered.

    Nice to hear positive comment against all the negativity. Thanx!

  4. I've occasionally fantasized about living like a hermit but the call of the espresso machine and a portugese tart is too great for me!

    Where can you find Portuguese tarts in Thailand? Are you sure they are not Portuguese speaking Mozambicans or Angolans around Soi Nana?

    Ha ha. Try Makro... packs of 10 on special is the way to go!

    Haven't tried a Portuguese tart yet but Brazilians come highly recommended. Especially if they are on Ukrainian or Swedish girls. However many Thais or Vietnamese do not need them. Not sure about those Portuguese, though.)

    Last time I had a "Brazilian" I cut myself!

  6. This should be done to Americans on Spring Break in Florida

    The Morals of Americans are terrible and they need God

    And which "God" of yours created morals? None of the ones I'm familiar with and certainly none of the 'Big Three'.

    Jehovah? Nah... Genital mutilation; Stoning Gays; There's not enough room on this site to list the perversions of Jehovah's morals!

    The Christian God? Nah.... Crusades; Inquisition; Peadophilia in the leadership.... even longer list than Jehovah's

    Allah?... Nah... ISIS; Female mutilation; Marrying off the Martyrs to a bunch of Virgins; 'nuff said

  7. The red shirts don't think they can win the next election but think they can bomb their way back into power. Don,t think that will work try another plan.

    It's sad (in my mind) that you feel the need to be Judge and Jury unless you have facts at hand that we mortals don't.

    As far as we (mortals) know, the motive could be one of many and therefore the same goes for the perpetraters.

    Mindless judgements can make more havock than bombs sometimes!
