webfact Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 "I'm giving up lao khao for good!" - man's lifetime pledge after Loy Krathong shame Thai caption: The shame of it... A 44 year old Thai man told the police in north east Thailand that he was giving up spirits for life after he was fined for fighting with a neighbor atop some speakers at a Loy Krathong cultural event on Monday. Uthit said he felt great shame and embarrassment after fighting in front of all the people at the Nong Waeng municipal show. That was the end of his "Lao Khao" (rice whisky) days, he told Somdej deputy chief Pol Lt-Col Bunjan who fined him and another man called Khwanmuang, 39, 500 baht each. Uthit had been filmed and posted on Facebook. A local official confirmed that he climbed the scaffolding by the stage during a music performance and got up on the speakers to dance. Incensed by this and unable to get him down Khwanmuang climbed up and the boogie turned to bashing. Both were carted off to the police station to calm down, fined, then after a handshake allowed to go home.

I'm guessing the real reason is he can no longer afford it. 39,000 baht buys a awful lot of Lao Kao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll find the 39 is the other fella's' age, and the fine was 500 baht each ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had he used other drugs, he'd been jailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveK Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Lao khao is dangerous stuff. This morning the usual suspects were sitting outside the village shop polishing off a large bottle. It seems to be the cause of many problems around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soalbundy Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 He can swear all he wants, once you are on that stuff it's hard to get off it, my father-in-law has ruined his liver and damaged his nervous system with that stuff, the doctor told him he'll be dead in a year if he doesn't stop drinking it, that scared him enough to stop for three weeks, now he is back on it.

GreasyFingers Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Many of the locals here will drink it in preference to Sang Som and Hong Thong (not great alternatives I know) when the latter are offered for free. But they also prefer bbq rat to bbq chicken so what do I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just drink it from dawn to dusk because it is cheap and gets them rat arsed. They are not drinking to enjoy fine whiskies or anything other than getting <deleted>. The sights I have seen , people trashed on that stuff in our village. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
