With the weather being so nice and my one night a week drink night I decided Friday Night would be Mai Tai night. So I got out all the booze and mixers and made up some. My wife really likes these and the way I make them they pack a punch. Not pictured was the fresh Pineapple juice my wife was making from a few we bought on the way home from the store. Amazing how good the pineapples here taste and how cheap they are. 5 baht per Pineapple. In the US you were lucky to find one half the size as here sold by Dole for 120 baht.
..and not nearly as sweet and juicy...Quote:

First time I tried it. I sipped some neat and it has a very nice nose and taste. I have some 20 year Plantation XO Barbado's rum but have not opened it yet.Quote:

Well after receiving deliver of my Jacuzzi, I dug around in my Liquor Cabinet and pulled out my Milagro Anejo Tequila and enjoyed a few fine sips
Beer Lao?
Vientiane?
No Eatigo?
Coffee...later Beer Lao, so horribly jet lagged this time. Swear it was easier when I was younger so their is a linger of depression about the whole aging process.

Streetview not updated in Laos, but the beer place is here...https://www.google.com/maps/@16.5728...2!8i6656?hl=en
...and the Dao Savanh restaurant is here...https://www.google.com/maps/place/Th....7466839?hl=en
^ those pics are from Dao Savanh:)
Well worth the 3.5k a night for a wet couple of days up there.

Brewed with precious:)
BREWED WITH PRECIOUS Khao Kai Noy
It's a type of rice. ;)
https://worklivelaos.com/khao-kai-no...le-chick-rice/
I don't find the difference over the standard light brew worth it, personally.
The dark brew is infinitely superior to both imo.
Stayed 5 days at Dao Savanh Resort a few weeks ago.Quote:

And there was fruit liquor for, if I recall, 40 baht at the OTOP place.

Brewed from warts?Quote:

Just arrived in Jomtien, a Beer Laos on the beach sounds like a good idea
Where are you stayin' and when are you going to China?Quote:

There is nothing like finding a deal on Orbitz and booking a weekend in a melting pot of Thailand.

That sounds like a grand idea, will PM my number when I actually get out off full on Luddite mode and work out what it isQuote:

I can understand why you like it Mandy...probably one of the few habitable places left where a deckchair attendant will gobble you for a couple of quid, but YD...why in god's name would you take your wife there?
I can't help thinking this is a symptom of where you're going wrong.
I actually find it to be one of the friendlier places in Thailand tbh; mostly seem to end up hanging with Russians, most of whom do not fit the stereotype that Thai Visa likes to peddle. Good and plentiful places to eat and a chilled out nightlife with the madness of Walking Street if I really want it. Hope to find some Chinese to practice my appalling Mandarin on haha.
I would agree that the condo development is a bit too much and many seem to be sitting empty- you'd be surprised at the amount of sub million baht properties for sale- maybe not such a fantastic investment
How can you get jet lag with only a 6 hour time change and flying bizz class? Man up!!Quote:

A visit that lead to a good few year's worth of vivid imaginings from frt. :rolleyes:
Good point about it looking better in the dark...
Thing is though...this place had a private pool and I reckon it was about 5 minute's walk from the best fish and chips in town according to Headworx...a poster I trust. :)
I may not have listed its attractions in order of importance.
They just don't make 'em like they used to, ao.Quote:

Don't forget that next Friday and Saturday are officially No Alcohol days.
Coconut juice in the evening. A month now on the wagon. Still fancying a beer in the evenings but appreciating the mornings and feeling much healthier. Sleeping better too.
Lao Khao at some deal in Soem Ngam....Long story but man is it good.
cheers extra and now Gilbys Gin, thank fuk off home next week where they sell real beer and the wine is cheap
^If you found it under a bush its ok
That 400 baht a litre shite from the flips?Quote:
