spirits and its social uses

thai spirits and social uses imho, just some thoughts

regency= for trying to impress the guests (make face, you can afford more than sang som/mekong)

sang som= when you go to the upcountry karaoke with the local coppers/nak leng

mekong= when your broke,or your motorcycle has broken down and you cant be bothered walking to the local shop.

lao khao= when the wifes grandfather comes to visit and other auspicious events eg weddings,funerals, wifes little brother becomes a monk for a week or two, its january and its cold at 0630.

100 pipers when you and the gang go to the local disco (girl sees the farang with 100 pipers whisky and his thai motorcycle mechanic friends and the farang is obviously a good catch)

johnny walker (the small bottle), the local school principal comes to ask the mia farang for a donation of 500bt for the school sports.

any decent alcohol (keep out of sight of all locals)
