Bangkok is known for many things, but one of the city's main attractions is definitely the countless food stalls and street stalls with their endless array of handmade delicacies. You might be a bit hesitant on your first visit, but after a few bites, very few can keep themselves under control. Intense aromas, a stately spiciness and the exotic spice wrap almost everyone around their fingers and nowhere else in the world does one have as much choice as in Bangkok. Hand-pulled noodles, pork and shrimp dumplings, soups, curries, pad thai, papaya salad, omelettes, beautifully prepared seafood, fried chicken, mango and sticky rice, bean paste or sesame filled desserts and much, much more beckon every corner and at any time of the day or night.
The perfect refreshment for spicy Thai cuisine is Leo, a lager from Bangkok's Boom Rawd Brewery. In Thailand you can buy the fluffy, flaky lager on every corner — supermarkets have it refrigerated, hawkers on rickety bicycles and people stand on the street and sell the beer directly from their mobile coolers.
Whenever we long for Thailand, we open a well-chilled can of Leo and dream away for a few delicious moments.
