Are there any locally brewed beers available in Thailand?
It is worth noting the difference between some local drinks and what you might be used to back home. Local beer is a favourite and a bar can generally offer you Singha (pronounced ‘sing’), Heineken and some other beers like Chang, Leo or even light beers. These can vary significantly in strength as well as taste so be warned! Singha is full bodied, Heineken crisper, Leo cheaper and Chang often much stronger. There is an urban myth that in the Chang factory the workers often tip a load more hops in as a joke and of course quality control is not a Thai concept. Other local drinks are the Thai whiskeys which actually are not really whiskey but rum but the Thais tend to think of all hard liquor as whiskey to there you go.
