Welcome to colorful and tasty Thailand! This country not only offers amazing food, but also a wide variety of delicious non-alcoholic drinks. Whether you're looking for something sweet, refreshing or healthy, Thailand has something for everyone.
Thai Basil Gimlet, a classic cocktail with Thai influences
Thai basil adds a spicy, anise-like flavor to various dishes, but it is also an important condiment in a classic cocktail, the Basil Gimlet. The Gimlet is a delicious cocktail with lime and gin. The Thai basil gives a spicy twist to this elegant classic.
Tom Yum, a spicy Thai cocktail
Tom Yum is not only the name of a spicy clear soup from Thai cuisine, there is also a tasty spicy cocktail with the same name.
The beverage departments at supermarkets and convenience stores were busy today. Thai and foreigners bought alcohol like a man possessed, after having been dry for almost a month.
British largest drunk barges in the world
Some prejudices seem to be quite correct. British drinkers, for example, are three times more drunk per year than any other nationality. British people report that they are drunk on average 51,1 times a year, almost once a week. British expats also like a sip in Thailand, in my experience.
Belgian beer brewer now distills alcohol in Cha Am
The life story of Ronny de Wolf from Wieze in Belgium reads like an exciting boy's book. From an electrician via construction fairs and (among other things) a beer brewery to a professional distiller of alcohol in Cha Am, Thailand. And the story is not over yet, because Ronny (53) is bursting with plans.
Wine War in Thailand
I can appreciate an alcoholic snack from time to time. I'm not much of a beer drinker, only when I'm very thirsty do I ever want to drink a bottle of Leo. But normally I prefer a white wine and very occasionally a whiskey or a sambucca. That drink prices in Thailand are on the high side, to put it euphemistically, is of course known and is in itself no reason to get excited about it. But at some point it can also go too far. That's what this article is about.
Reader question: Throwing booze on the street for luck?
I regularly see Thai people throwing liquor on the street for good luck or something, I understand. But can someone explain to me in detail how exactly this works? Should they do this once a day or with every drink? For example, is it weird if I, as a tourist, would also do this? And what happiness does it bring? For that day or forever?
Tastes differ
This time I had to believe it; a real bomber landed on me. In other words, it descended on me. Laughing at a number of ladies who made a toast with each other was fatal to me.
Cocktails a new trend in the bar
A new trend in bars is emerging. Although most bars still serve the appropriate drinks, smaller bars are increasingly specializing in specialty drinks such as cocktails. In the last year, the turnover of these new trendy bars has grown considerably.
Lately there have been quite a few reports on social media in Thailand about rumors that the Thai government wants to make alcohol and cigarettes extremely expensive. There was even talk of an increase of up to 100%.
Drink destroys more than you love
Whether there is such an expression in Poland, I do not know, but a Polish man put this motto, which was once widely used in the Netherlands, very literally.
Thai food industry against sugar tax
The Thai Beverage Industry Association is asking the government to reconsider its intention to impose a sugar tax on drinks.
