Thai alcohol types

While Asia is deservedly considered the most undrinkable continent in the world, ㅡ Thailand’s situation has been influenced by years of leadership in international tourism. Today there is available alcohol for almost every taste and wallet, which, by the way, can be take home from Thailand. And above all, I would like to mention the drinks traditional for this region, that is, Thai alcohol!
Sang Som, loved by many for its exceptional price to purity ratio. It is the base of the famous “buckets” during the Full Moon Party on Phangan Island. Despite this ㅡ is suitable and highly recommended for consumption in its pure form.

Also among Thai spirits, you can spot huge flasks of Thai “whiskey” Ya Dongom ㅡ an alcoholic herbal tincture. Sometimes an exotic amphibian, reptile or arthropod is added to the herbs; often poisonous in life. Such a drink is supposed to be topped with a mango or guava sprinkled with a mixture of sugar and chili.

Of the more or less authentic Thai whiskeys here, they make Blend, Handrid Pipers and Johnny Walker. But you won’t find cognac in Thailand, this kind of alcohol is not found there (but you can try the local brandy Regency instead).

Thai wine is made of two types: fruit and rice. Tints of flavor range from “compote” to remotely reminiscent of “Soviet Champagne”. On sale you can find wine from pineapple, lice, mangosteen and rambutan. Also you can find Thai grape wine, but it has a bad taste compared to European wine. The latter are relatively expensive here ㅡ from 150 baht per glass. Relatively inexpensive grape wine is imported from Australia.

It’s easy to mistake Thai wine for moonshine on store shelves because of the similar colored labels. For the body such alcohol can turn out to be a challenge, because apparently rough Thai men are used to distill their brews in whatever they can find.

Of the variety of Thai beers, there are three brands: Chang, Leo and Sindha. All of them are light and light, especially after adding fast ice, with which it is customary to drink beer in Thailand.

Alcohol in Thailand is available from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and after 5 p.m. It is forbidden to sell alcohol to persons under the age of 20, as well as on certain holidays. If for any of the above reasons you cannot buy alcohol ㅡ have either to empty the bar or learn to relax and have fun without “dope”. The latter is given here with phenomenal ease. So, we have considered alcoholic drinks, but what about non-alcoholic drinks of Thailand?
