Me too, and *especially* if it's cheap crap made to taste all oaky. Like Blend, 100 Pipers, Johnny Red, etc etc etc.
Then again, alcohol is alcohol and beggars can't be choosers. Still, I much prefer just about any rum like Havana Club or Captain Morgan. #28

Still, I much prefer just about any rum like Havana Club or Captain Morgan. My wife's friend has a small shop and told my wife that she had 3 large bottles of Sang Som for me. Her husband found them, bagged them up and put them in my truck. The wife then smiled and charged me 250 baht per bottle as against the 207 I normally pay. My fault for accepting them so I paid for them. Foll me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. I am not going to buy anything else from her again even if it is the last bottle of Sang Som in the country and even if she only wanted 20 baht for it. #29

Cheap distilled products can be very poisonous. Lao Khao is guaranteed to kill you within 2 years - go on try it
I found Snag Som to be a pleasant drink and not too much hang over next morning so must be reasonably pure - better than Gilbeys gin vodka, bit nasty, can smell the stuff on my skin next morning SS smells more like my tart so i dont notice Still got supply problem down here in pataya - bummer but i got a secret little store where i can get it for 260B #30

Oddly enough I bought a new bottle of Sang Som this morning at the mom and pop shop I usually go to in the village and it was still the old price of 207 baht. Whether he got the price wrong I know not but I will go back there until they run out. There is at least one bottle of Pussers in Thailand as I brought it back from Auckland in 2009. I am saving it for just before I die so that I can drink it and go off with a happy smile on my face. #35

Sang Som is not bad drop of stuff for here but when it comes to rums of choice then only 2 will do, "Pussers" which is the original Royal Navy "tot" or "Woods 100" when you have tried these everything else tastes rough! #36
