Coffee In LOS
I don't know if it's just me, or the exercise from the night before but I just love the coffee in Thailand.

Have not had coffee in Thailand as it seems I wake up when it is time for dinner almost.
I am an early morning person with coffee here at home and was curious about Thai coffee. Not exactly Thai coffee, but does anyone know how the Dunkin Donuts coffee in Jungceylon or Bkk compares to America or any other location they are?

Thanks

I have not had a proper decent coffee in LOS yet.

I prefer the Spanish style.

Try "Coffee Lovers" cafe on Rat-U-Thit near the Paradise Sois. Their espresso is very good, and their lattes are excellent!

Their espresso and Americano are both very good, a little coffee shop in Soi Eden does great coffee.

Went to the one in the building with a lot of shops and an internet I used on Sukhumvit in BKK. I liked their coffee, too. But I never saw one in Patong. Is there one there?

I've gotta' have my caffeine every morning.

But, I can't take the time to "go out" for it! When in LOS, I boil my water, and enjoy a double pouch-full of "Zhulian's" finest instant. (Coffee Plus, with ginseng) They also have a "cappuccino" instant brew. (with ginko biloba???)

It's not marketed in the stores. And, has to be obtained through a "Zhulian distributor". (Zhulian is an "Amway" type of company...based in SIN) Therefore, you must know someone, with a Zhulian card. (fortunately, my GF has one 555)

Also, the Patong Zhulian shop closed down last spring. But the Phuket Town store is in full swing.

I usually don't care for ANY instant coffee. But this brand, is quite drinkable...and "it's good for you." (ginseng, 55555) Just add a splash of Bailey's Irish Creme, and your off to a great start!

When at home, I always brew up a "cappuccino la pablo" every morning...with Bailey's added. (freshly ground expressooooooo)

We have an offer on at the moment. Buy one flagon of Rosso for 783 Baht and we will make you a cup of coffee and give you a free pair of Rosso underpants.

I also have a couple of the Ginseng coffee sachets Dodger bought me when I had the flu, combined with 23 paracetamols, 3 codeines, four brandys and a tablespoon of sugar they do the trick! Buy two flagons of Rosso and I'll throw in a sachet of Ginseng Coffee and an aspirin.

You know you want to!
