moontang Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Any thoughts on this? I specified condo pool because you could easily do large bottles at your own pool, which is the best value, but bottles would get some scowls at the condo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbrenn Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I'm sure most condos wouldn't mind, so long as you're quiet, respectful of other residents, and tidy up your empty bottles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So take a cool box full of cans and ice. If it really is a no alcohol policy, then follow the suggestion of another poster - use a teapot and mugs to enjoy a sneaky beer, just like people do on election day.

champers Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Why the need for a pool if you are going to "drink litres"? Are you planning to go for a swim whilst legless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours bans food and alcohol. This is all a result of thails have a picnic of fermented fish and somtam etc and then leaving litter there. A broken glass in the pool is chaos, not easy to locate all the shards. Easy work arounds for booze especially vodka or wine based but beer is a bit tougher if you plan drinking several large bottles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame that a few antisocial misfits have spoiled it for you. There's nothing nicer than a few beers by the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot do that anymore as they put a chemical in the water, if a man pees it goes blue, a woman pink. The last time me and our lass went swimming we were like the Red Arrows.

A twist of that... a year back my Thai sons' MIL was visiting for a few days. She loves to make snacks for the kids and she's very reliable and safety conscious with the kids. Whole family, including MIL went shopping, son noticed a good brand of frozen french fries on discount and much bigger discount for buying 5 X 1 kg bags. At home son and his wife went to a meeting at kids school, MIL proceeded to cook all 5 kilos of the french fries. We all came home maybe 3 hours later to 2 giant bowls of cooked french fries, all now cold and soggy. MIL was very proud of her work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it has been determined to drink cans.. but what is the best value.. paid 682 for a 12 pack of Heineken 490 ml.. A+, but at 31 to the dollar it is kind of pricey at 1.80 usd for a 14.6 ounce approx beer.. Tiger smalls 4 pack 125, and today 12 Leo 490 ml cans for 529....never thought I would return to Leo, but at least they weren't pre Songkran made like my 7 was selling.... Just trying to look at the big picture.. If I was simply a two week millionaire I would be perfectly happy with the heineys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not allowed and I think it may have to do with diving into the pool drunk into the shallow end opens them up for litigation. I think the thermos bottle is the best solution so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwill Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Buy a beer tower, 3 liter or 5 liter one, I have seen them at Makro. There is a tube in the middle you fill with ice and the beer goes into the outside chamber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leverito Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Yes,condo pools are a fine place for you to drink your beer. Do you try also lobby in your condo as a better place to drink your beer from bottles and eat your food? Are you russian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
