Thai Beer

Thailand’s Best Beer? There’s a number of beers on offer in Thailand, and I’ve tested them all… here’s my advice…. stick with Singha and Leo. If you are a restaurant or 7-Eleven in Thailand and trying to decide which mainstream beer to choose… there are only a few choices and the majority are produced by Boonrawd Brewery. Boonrawd Brewery is so ubiquitous in Thailand that one ponders if this giant of a company may somehow have a impact on the very small and weak grass-roots, home-grown craft beer producers in Thailand. Compared with Vietnam…. where home-grown craft beer producers offer a great choice at a great price, Thailand doesn’t have much to offer and out-prices itself from being a viable option. So if you love craft-beer and in Thailand - you’ll be sad to hear that you may be forced to stare a refrigerator in a 7-Eleven or a restaurant and choose between Chang, Leo and Singha.

Eugenio Recuenco 365°

I visited an excellent art installation created by Spanish fashion photographer Eugenio Recuenco at Uni Elite in Shanghai, China in December, 2019 and was suitably impressed. Eugenio Recuenco designed a fascinating series of scenes and images that incorporated current affairs, history, art and culture . Each image was set in an identical scene/frame with mesmerising results. I found the images so fascinating that I revisited each picture a number of times to study and enjoy. Same with the video, I watched this a few times as it added so much more depth and meaning to the images in the gallery. Great exhibit - well worth visiting!
