Drinking coffee at the moment!

Came across this yesterday at this little market down here in Chonburi. Had some time after work.



4.5L of Grey Goose Vodka. Interesting that a shop had a bottle like this being these are usually reserved for brokers to allocate to bars for the shelves. Be a nice addition to the pool bar but..... at $660 USD I passed...I still have 3 days and this could end up in the "Impulse buy" thread....



I did however do a restock. This place has some really good prices. Most were 200 to 300 bht cheaper then say Villa Market or Central Chitlom.

I have to say, being down here 9 days so far with colleagues and going out every night for dinner and drinks, my liver is about ready to reach out and slap me.

Just looked at the price of that on Amazon UK. Its 400 pounds for that 4.5 litre bottle, although you can buy seven 70cl bottles for 210. Paeng mak

Yeah, those three 1L Stoli's were ~2k baht. So for another 1K baht I could have near 4.5L for ~3000 baht or spend 22,500 baht for that GG. Its clearly a novelty thing as honestly GG Vodka isn't really any better than Stoli or Tito's in a Martini or on the rocks.

^ I do like Grey Goose and what's the other posh one that you drink with cucumber?

There was a thread on here once about vodka and the best rated one for value in Thailand was Green Mark, made by one of Putin's mates.

Pretty good though

I must have missed that thread, but I have to say that Stoli is good Vodka. I think I have seen the other Putin one, Forgot the name. And F that cucumber in a cocktail deal right now.

The other Vodkas I have seen here that are ridiculously priced is Kettle One and Belvedere. Not worth it. Ok in the US as the price is OK

You don't have to eat the cucumber

That's right, because I would never buy it. I have heard from a few fine Gin drinkers that Cucumbers are an excellent addition. Probably why I don't drink Gin sans as a mixer for a long island iced tea cocktail....and those are free of Satans Cucumber.

Are you thinking of Hendrick's gin? That has some notes of cucumber and makes a great G&T with cucumber slices.

^ That's the boy

A mate of mine brought his Mrs home a bottle of Grey Goose from a work trip a couple of weeks back thinking it was gin haha

Is there no sanctuary from the bloody Royal propaganda, the pub was like a ruddy church today.

One of the few open, I even tried to lower the volume with the remote but to no avail.
Some scally had knicked the batteries..

That's a nice lady's purse you've got there, Joe.

^ how do you know she's nice?

Quite a nice brew.

It is I enjoy it on the rocks with a twist of lime. Very nice and the first hard liquor drink I took too as a young man.

Never drinking Sambuca again. Some animal pissed in my trainers last night.

You had no idea that he went trans a few years ago? His obsession with car parks, then the men in dresses.

i thought only women drank that and then burnt their lips on the glass

^ I've seen a crazy Welsh bloke drink one that was alight before in a bar in Bangkok. He didn't blow the flame out and his lip and shirt caught fire, Dancing around slapping himself he was.

Wasn't you was it Sid?

Well, it wasn't your mutt cos it ain't tall enough.

My suspicion would be Chitty, he seemed pretty buoyant last night... unless of course Stumpy was out in his high heels again.

Are you sure it wasn't yourself, stranger things have happened on the flaming Sambuca than pissing oneself or Whealstone Sid kicking off with the whole Stretford End

Not guilty, I would have shit in them then asked after their mother

My last weekend in NZ last month before coming home, a Hairy Box sampler from Lakeman brewing



Liked it so much I just had to bring the 'hairy box' back with me, loaded with some good Wellington chocolate
