Hmmm 119B for a bottle of Corona, with all repects that doesn’t seem too special.

Hmmm, with all respects, most places charge anywhere from 160 to 220 baht a bottle normally. Imports are very expensive unfortunately. Our Happy Hour price is 135 I believe so we came down a bit from that. Not to mention the price of a Lime is about 5 baht each now. I know, I know, cry me a river.

Why the F$#& is quality Tequila so hard to find in BKK?
A few weeks ago I inquired about a bottle of Patron Silver at Coyotes on Suk/33 – the bar manager sounded like she was doing me a favor of a lifetime, and giving me the deal of the century when she quoted me 8000 baht for a 750 ml bottle. I picked my jaw up of the floor, and went with the Rot Gut Pepe Lopez instead. I wondered what a bottle of Anejo would sell for??? Maybe Thaksin would have to drain one of his Bank accounts to secure a bottle of it!
BTW – Patron Silver sells for U.S. $19.99 a bottle.
Any one of you BKK Tequila Drinkers would be rolling in the dough if you could secure an affordable import of quality Tequila into BKK.
I will be arriving into BKK in a few weeks. I plan to bring a couple o bottles of in my Suitcase.

Eddie T: Have you been to Topps or Villa and looked at the price for an imported 6 pack of beer?
Let me know when you open your pub and sell them for less.

pmmp: You’re going to be nice to UnCoWe? I thought you said all Mexicans were banned from the Mango until this whole flu thing was done with – WTF?
Oh well, if he’s welcome to come then may as well put him in the kitchen and let him prepare the Best Authentic Mexican Burritos in Thailand I’ve seen him brag about. If he’s going to make us all sick we may as well enjoy the experience. (insert smiley here ><)

Dig deep into your pockets folks – some bars through no fault of their own are now having to spend a small fortune just trying to stay in business in the face of greedy Lime exporters capitalising on the stupid trend of drinkers to restrict their access to beer by stuffing up the bottle neck with fruit.
I urge you to do your bit now by joining Limes from Limeys (membership a mere £75 a year) and we will ensure that struggling bars get at least one Lime per week to help keep them afloat.
You can leave cheques made out to Doctorbond Enterprises at the BM bar. Thank you.

Bubba- banned? WTF is this, a chinese hotel?
pmmp- I was thinking of stopping buy the bar for this special american holiday. can i set up an authentic mexican prison tattoo stand near the pool table. i’ll specialize in naked silver dollar nippled ladies wearing sombreros. i’ll also bring a pot of menudo that my abuelita sent me from D.F. for everyone to enjoy.
Do you guys have tortilla chips? i’ll bring the salsa and guacamole.
Tequila- i’ve on occasion found nice bottles of tequila in cambodia. venture into the duty free shops and you may well be lucky enough see a bottle shining like la virgen de guadalupe in the corner of one of dem der shops.

eddie – with all respects do u know what it costs to buy imported alcohol? yeah – I didn’t think so.
on the tequila boys – it does not matter what the alcohol is. an import is an import and duties are based on the cost plus whatever the dude bringing it in adds to it. yes – if anyone of u want to crate me over tons of patron at the US cost and get it to me with no duty and no BIB issues then we will sell it cheaper than those who have to buy it here.
Keep dreamin folks.
patron is now distributed here by ital asia and costs you a few k baht per bottle. some discounts apply with lots of bottles but it is like 3-4 times what is costs in the states especially if you buy it at costco.
welcome to thailand folks.
the limes do this every year. it is nuts.
mamacitas is here BTW folks:

@ucw: I said we have to be nice to you but we really don’t want to see you. Bubba was somewhat right about the ban. We are not banning all Mexicans though, really just you. Dang, I think I broke my “Be Nice to UCW on Cinco De Mayo” rule.

September 1st, Rocky Marciano’s Birthday. 49 Fights 49 Wins.

BBB- well i was thinking ( a rare occurrence, but it does happen) that cinco de mayo is a more a mexican holiday so the italians would need an equivalent. an italian american holiday. i was thinking “godfather trilogy day” or “martin scorcese” day but the third godfather sucked sweaty fisherman’s balls. National mafia day sounds pretty good. TNT would air nothing but the classics all day like they do with the christmas story every holiday season. all the italian girls would shave their mustaches, put on their sunday best and we could make a party out of it.

pmmp- rocky marciano sucked. haven’t you ever watched “coming to america”?? joe louis was 137 years old when they fought. i hardly think that would place rocky marsh in the upper echelon of professional fighters.
View all comments by UnCochinoWetback
@UCW: I know you’re still bitter about losing our debate over which fighters are better, Italian or Mexican, and since it is your countries holiday, I will not point out the flaws in your Rocky M arg.
BTW, are you really proud of this holiday? I mean, from what I understand, Mexico didn’t pay it’s debts to France so France came over to try and collect. In one battle, the Mexicans kicked the French’s ass which is what Cinco De Mayo celebrates but then the French eventually took over. It was only under pressure from the US that the French left. What the hell are we celebrating here? Do enlighten us.

i dunno what you guys are celebrating. cinco de mayo is just the date of the battle of puebla where an army of mestizos and indios beat down some french guys. the french were all like “dude, we can totally invade since they won’t pay their bills and use their beaches and their beeyotches.” it’s often misrepresented as “mexican independence day” and not really celebrated with as much fanfare in mexico itself, being remembered mostly as the day the nation came together. the chicano movement started using the day as a symbol of freedom and unity a while back.
it’s also a day where we can get mexican girls really drunk and watch them do dirty things they wouldn’t do sober because the pope won’t let them. cinco de mayo also accounts for most of the hail mary’s handed out during confession since many of the sins were done under the influence of senor cuervo’s tasty beverage.
i also remember it as a day where my uncles would get really drunk and may 6th as the day we’d have to bail them out.

A holiday for the defeat of the French and the Brits don’t celebrate it?!?

Doc Bond has just realized that he actually loves Tequila.
UCW – yeah makes sense and it took them quite a few dog years to get to Mexico anyway…
View all comments by mart
mart- you also gotta take into account for how many of those 50 years they spent in the barracks playing “hide the croissant” with each other. so they have a pretty inflated impressive record on paper that in reality just doesn’t add up. kind of like rocky marciano (yes pmmp, i done went there)

Didn’t stop the Americans running to the French when they needed some Real Men to win the war against the British though, eh? Conveniently forgotten historical nugget, that one.
Not sure who should be more embarrassed…

“Conveniently forgotten historical nugget, that one.”
not really. the french didn’t provide much support until after saratoga, which as we all know was the turning point of the war. even the good german king of the british still retained enough sanity to realize it was over at that point. for a historical understanding on why the british army always needs american help:

Wetback,
I always considered cinco de Mayo to be a celebration concocted by the liquor industry to drum up bar business in the US. Hmmm, same as the Mango too. It works.

@BkkSpy: Drumming up bar business is part of the business. Without drumming up business there might not be an business. Am I forgiven?

Why would you need to be forgiven ?

Leave it to the Mexicans to have a holiday for mayonnaise.

@BkkSpy: For possibly exploiting the holiday for my own selfish business needs. Like the candy companies on Halloween, the flower companies on Mother’s day, and just about every business around Christmas time.
