12call Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Up2U.Are you working in the UM Tower??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up2U Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 No - I'm on Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok's answer to the developments at Changi and Kuala Lumpur). But our Thai partner's office is there, somewhere. That is our registered office. 1-2-call : Most of what I listed are available only in decent pubs in England. But Marsston Pedigree I have seen in bottle form outside UK. I don't like bottles. I dislike cans. What I want is draught ale - out of a wooden barrel ! So I am bound to be disappointed whenever I stray far from places like Bristol - Smile's Exhibition - Aaaaahhhhh !!! Pubs dow by the docks (very yuppie area now) with twenty barrels in a row - and twenty more above them. All different, all with the name chalked on, together with the percentage alcohol (w/v). All 5% to 8%. Against the average Carlsberg-type lager at 3.2% And the taste !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12call Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Up2U.I could stock Daught Cans of Kilkenny or Guinness if you so wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up2U Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 If you're not having draught Chang, Carlsberg or Heineken - then I'll stay with bottled stuff. Do not like cans of anything - they seem to taste of can rather than beer - even the so-called draught-cans with the magic widget in the bottom. I'm not in Thailand for the quality of the amber nectar, but the quality of the craik ! (And the ladies, and ... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up2U Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 At home in Pattaya at the moment - just had early dinner in the Queen Vic (Soi 6) and a couple of draught Carlsberg. They serve draught Kilkenny, but at twice the price I don't think it's worth it. (I'm a farang Kii Nok - to quote another thread) I'm happy with anything reasonable, as long as there are people to chat with - they listen, I chat!

Rinrada Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 I tried a pint of Guinness in the pub in Convent rd about 5-6 years ago before it became She-Nags,now the Irish Exchange. At that time the rate was about 50 Bt to the pound and the pint was about 380 bt. I dont recon im too much of a keen-oo but £7-50 a pint no way.The stuff is /was imported from Singapore and it tasted rotten anyway.Now that Carls/Hein are locally brewed the prices are more acceptable. In fact I remember that the small tins of imported Hein.were sold in a gin joint called the Magic Castle (up near darling)about 10 years ago at at around Bt 150 a throw...so... For a real grot draught try the Amarit for years the only one....grim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
