Wu Li, Senkaku, Wu Li, Messer and Messer, these mysterious names make the jewelry industry all over the world sound very comfortable. The size of gems made in Thailand or imported from other countries is not very famous. However, as a person without expert level, buying gems is really a tricky thing. Too good things are always doubtful. We should have a cautious and strict intermediary broker, who always takes commission. Famous shops in good locations are undoubtedly expensive, but their quality assurance is much more reliable than those stalls on the street. Please pay attention to the brightness of the gem. Blue and purple are highlighted under fluorescent lamps, and red, orange and yellow are highlighted under incandescent lamps. It should also be noted that there is no reason to stop you from buying synthetic gems, but you should see their actual value clearly, and so should those processed gems.
Some precious stones, such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds, are processed during their application to increase brightness and reduce impurities. Natural gems are certainly more valuable. You know, sometimes experienced experts can't even tell the difference between natural gemstones and artificial gem, so I suggest you consult the Asian Gemological Institute.
Drinks, wine
In Thailand, drinking is worse than in other countries. Drinking alcohol is a part of Asian social customs, while the local alcohol production cost in Thailand is low.
Hard liquor. Whiskey is the best spirits. Choum wine is slightly acidic and helps digestion. When drinking, it is usually diluted with soda water and cola, and then mixed with ice cubes and green lemons. Try not to drink Meigang Blanc, this wine is not completely distilled. If you want to drink, let it stand for a period of time first, so as not to cause harm to your body due to insufficient distillation. Traditional high-grade maigong wine has always been considered as inferior wine.
Song Thip whisky is made from sugarcane, which is a little more expensive than Maigong. But they are all spirits, which are irritating to the throat.
Rich young people often drink imported whisky. If you want to make a Thai happy, you can give him a bottle of old wine that has been preserved for 12 years.
Thai wine. Wine made in Thailand certainly tastes exotic. For example, Toddy is a palm oil wine. What is even more surprising is Roy Castle (French wine), which is a kind of white wine made from grapes produced by grape seedlings imported from France, Italy and Spain. Panicked, the general manager of French Castle Brewery Company still maintains a business sense, because the consumption of wine he produces is increasing by 52% every year, while the consumption of whisky is only 7.3%, and Thai wine does not pose a threat to him. However, you should be aware that if you buy imported wine, it will have a high tax.
Beer. Although the price of beer is relatively expensive because of high government taxes, the annual consumption of beer in Thailand still reaches 4 billion liters (95 million liters in 1987). This may be the image that drinking beer represents upper-class status: wealthy Thais give up local whisky and prefer beer. Depending on the place of consumption, the price of beer fluctuates between 30 and 80 baht.
Sinha beer is the most popular beer and the most famous beer (90% market share). Its taste is heavier than similar beer, and its alcohol concentration is higher (6 degrees). Its other series of products, gold, have a refreshing taste and are deeply loved by people. Carisberg, on the other hand, tastes sweet and refreshing, but the alcohol concentration is similar to that of Singha, but the price is more expensive. In addition, there are other brands of beer on the market, such as Eléphant and Chang, which have been listed since 1995, but it is difficult to buy. However, these beers have been well received by experts. Open-air beer shops abound in Thailand, where people can drink and eat.
Coffee. In Thailand, people have a high opinion of coffee, but its consumption is less than that of tea, and most of what they provide you is Nestle soluble coffee. There are few really good espresso except Sarika Suriwong Road in Bangkok. In many shops, thin bottles of iced black coffee are sold. When drinking too much of this drink, Thais will take a concentrated vitamin acid called Lipovitande whole.
Please don't drink tap water directly. When you buy ice cubes, you should also buy cubes (industrial production) instead of crushed ice.
Usually, the hotel will recommend filtered water to you. Actually, it is very convenient to buy mineral water. Therefore, please don't drink too much filtered water or hydrochlorothiazide.
Soda. This kind of water can be seen everywhere. There are also carbonated drinks such as Coca Cola. Compared with other neighboring countries, these drinks are easy to buy in Thailand.
Juice. Thailand is a land of fruits. Pineapple, sugarcane, guava, grapefruit, coconut ... these fruits are the most famous in Thailand. Some fruit juices are also packed in thin bottles, such as orange juice. But this kind of bottled juice is generally not fresh (although it has been refrigerated) and tastes a little sweet.
