You can get a cheap floating room ON the river and watch the sun go down with a cold Singha. Bliss. Good luck.. -------------------- Woz..

After all the hype for this beer, I'd choose Leo any day. Maybe it's because I'm a girl... So carey, don't listen to Scott, drink the Leo, not the Singha. -------------------- My most recent blog: A trip to Toronto that turned into a trip to Niagara

There's definitely something lethal in it cos' I had plenty of Changovers and I don't normally. Leo's not a bad drop. Nice price too.. -------------------- Woz..

Maybe Chang was just more available now that i think of it? I can't remember,b but it's pretty good too. Really don't like the Singha much anyway.

Rolling Stone Group: Local Expert Posts: 6745 Joined: 24-December 04 From: Burma to Cambodia Member No.: 124	That's exactly why I did. 32 or 36 baht was the cheapest I found.. -------------------- Woz.. Living on a string of one-way tickets - currently kicking about in: southern Cambodia

Explorer Group: Local Expert Posts: 122 Joined: 23-August 06 Member No.: 14046	the reason for the changover is that the fermentation process is not exactly tightly controlled at the chang brewery. the alcohol per volume fluctuates pretty dramatically from bottle to bottle and this is enough to make u begin to wonder what other impurities are left in the final product. yes singha is slightly more expensive at a rate of about 15 cents (american) but at least you know what you are drinking and you dont get that S*$#ty changover. or you can always stick with heinekein if you are in doubt -------------------- http://www.travelpod.com/travel-blog/neali...d2006/tpod.html

Planet Pioneer Group: Local Expert Posts: 2215 Joined: 3-May 06 From: Guildford, UK Member No.: 692	But that's the best thing about the Chang, you never know what you're going to get. Could be 2%, could be 15% -------------------- My Travelogue Rich

I advice The Lake Heaven Resort at Srinakarint Dam. Furthermore if you have much more time , Khaolam Dam and Sangkgaburee Thai-Burma border is the local life and nutural place during Nov-Dec the weather seem Chiangmai.
