As soon as I heard that Beer Lao Dum had arrived in the bars of Bangkok I revised travels plans I had to allow me a day (and night) in the City of Angels so I could try the darker, stronger sister of Beer Lao.
Time was limited so instead of going to my favourite Asian Fish and Chip Shop, Oh My Cod near Khao San Road, I headed to the Big Mango Bar in Nana Plaza and started downing the stuff as quick as I could.
The taste is similar to regular Beer Lao but the body offers a much fuller, darker hit and the brew rocks in at 6.5% - enough to knock me for six after just a few bottles.
The waitress at the bar told me that the beer had been quite popular with regulars and tourists alike.
She also pointed out that farang get drunk much quicker on Beer Lao Dum but that it was okay as this meant that they normally ended up leaving bigger tips.
As I stumbled out I also found myself leaving a larger than normal tip, having enjoyed the beer and the conversation greatly.

Great site, but your download was an unrecognized document, and with my limited skills...
Hope people know about Crua Sang Dao on soi 35 (mid soi past "Siam Law...left and right...on the right around 200m) Lad Phrao. Quiet Thai place with live Isaan music Thurs. and Fri. nights (I think). Great escape from the bars for a night and good place to take a date to chill and enjoy the patio...has a Karoke room in the bar area. Owned by a "Falang" and his Thai wife...The good news is, they serve BEERLAO, both Lager and Black (Dark), and have Isaan Food as well. Open from 4:30 til Midnight. Rumor has it that they will be selling Beerlao on Caosan Rd. for 50 Baht from a cooler tomorrow night (21-3-08)to promote the place.
May see you there.

Sounds good....
I am outside of Bangkok at the moment but will be sure to have a look when I am in the area.
Best of luck....
