I was drinking Lao Khao at my TGF home in Roiet. I was feeling kinda wierd after the first bottles. Is it rice whiskey? I feel it was strong. My eyes and legs was not a friend of mine.

for about 40 baht a bottle, its the genuine fall over stuff.
i drink it but only about 2 glasses, worse still is the home brewed rice spirit, even stronger than the lao kao.

many bgs i have known say lao kao is not for farangs.

Tiz a Lethal brew..

Lao Khao and M150 (red bull).. The fuel of motorbike taxi drivers the country over..

Hi Repeter. That photo is quite interesting. I suppose it is your girlfriend, but everybody in the street is turning around and staring. Or it is maybe at the farang taken the pic?

Sorry, maybe a bit off thread.

Lao Kao is real ugly stuff. You can see it being sold in all the little mom and pop shops for 5 Baht a glass, for all the guys who cannot even afford a 40 Baht bottle.

What I definitely would not touch ever is homebrewed stuff. Even if the locals swear it is safe, I would fear going blind on it.

Yeah the mom and pops also have the single cigarettes for sale..

So they guy can pop in and buy 3 cigs and have a shot of Lao Khao and get change from 20 baht..

Yes it is my GF, and I was the first farlang ever to visit that small village. It is 2 hour drive with a pickup south from Roiet.The nearest city on my map is Phon Sai. I bought 7 bottels black Sam Song as present for her brothers and expensive presents to the rest of her family. Mother and kids.

But the whole village was comming and look at the farang. Kids, old woman and men. They had never seen a farang before. The Sam Song bottles was very quickly empty so I had to go and buy Lao Khao. My memory is not so good after some hours, but I knew the whole village was very drunk.

The house on the right is her familys house.

I had the same experiences when i first visited my ex mrs home in Ang Thong which is the next province up from Ayuthaya despite the closeness of the place to Bangkok (1 hour 30 mins) you could just see that 75% of the locals had never been out of the province and thus had never seen a farang before it was very unerving the first day then it was water off aducks back to me , agaian i used to get pis-ed on lao khao and black cat boy did i have some hangovers with that stuff 555555555

Lao Khao.

Been there and done that too.

I will not forget the 1st ever morlam concert I attended somewhere deep in Issan country.

I was pretty on my way to merryland already on the Singha beers (as they were so dirt cheap) when I met a few local guys who insisted on sharing their Lao Khao with me, of course then I had to show grattitude and shout them to a few bottles in return.

Needless to say, I was severely out of it after midnight and found it difficult even to climb into the back of the pickup truck for the return to the village.

I bloody slept well though and was a great night

[b]Warning : Dont even think to drink lao khao with beers.

Mayuree.

I also have drank this "whisky".

as I visited a family outside of Phuket. It was terrible.

I dont remember what happen that 2 days.
All I know--- when I did drove home I had 2 bottles of this whisky in my rucksack.
...I still have one of this bottles here in Germany ..... now since 6 years

... I never will drink this.........

fun2have · #13 06-04-2006, 02:05

took home 2 bottles just to sit it on the shelf.
took my old man 2 good bottles of whisky home, customs declaration, i said over the limit to them, officer looked at the good stuff and said ok no problem because if you can drink that other rocket fuel you deserve to bring it in.
still sitting on the shelf, maybe run my motor bike on it.

Been there done that

, for me it was in Loei (Isarn) , with my ex gf her family. I went there to visit them second time, but now it was because my ex her brother was getting married. So a huge diner and drink party the day before the wedding started. Sam song and the Lao Khao was the only drink I got served. Next morning 5 am the whole family was chopping vegetables and meat for the wedding and me still drunk with such a hangover. Few hours later I walked still drunk to the wedding, in Isarn it's a tradition that the family walks with the broom to the bride house where her family is waiting.
About 40 degrees, dehydrating and people offering you beers again at 9 am. Those crazy Thai people

.
Anyway it was a nice experience, saw a traditional marriage. All local people watching me how I was walking with them. Very scary in the beginning, but after I got used to it.

Ow yeah about the Lao Khao, only when I smell this shit, I almost have to puke again... They put some wood inside also, her dad sad it was good for health... I think they call it Yadong or something ...
