There are basically three beers in Thailand: Singha, Chang and Leo. That's in descending order of quality; the Wikipedia article on beer in Thailand describes Leo as a "non-premium" larger; I'd describe it rather as "wretched filth, only to be used as a melee weapon". Singha and Chang are pretty good, however. Chang is a lighter, crisper lager and can be easily quaffed in large quantities. Singha is a richer larger with a fuller, slightly fruity taste, and I really like it. It can be purchased around the world but is only produced in Thailand. Here I am at a little bar in Sukhumvit, just north of the city centre in Bangkok, having a nice cold Singha on a sweltering hot day.
