Ditch the ice cubes usually required to cool your luke warm beer in Thailand - welcome to icy beer slushies!
About 50 metres NW of the clocktower in Trang ( on Th. Visetkul ), in a square off the main footpath, opposite what has to be the largest portrait of the King in Trang, is a cluster of food stalls. The one with its ' kitchen' virtually on the footpath, has something special inside...
It seats about 25 people at a time and would do double that in take-aways. We frequented enough, that the main attraction - the beer fridge - became self service for us. It is set so cold that the beer would pour semi - frozen from the bottle. At 40 baht (AUD$1.30), a tallie, naturally, we were regulars.
One evening, the young chef working there decided he was up for a session with us. All was going well until he decided we should skull the drinks. To be fair, he'd already helped himself to a few during service and is prettly lean. He chose to down his beer through a straw. After spilling a few bottles, then smashing a couple more, he got up, did the swagger and then head butted the gutter. Game over. As one of the other chefs was still cleaning down, the young guy was sat in a chair and hosed down. He had split his ear open and grazed his shoulder and arm. We thought it was time to head off. We returned the next day, to find that he was a no show and in the bad books with his old man, the owner!
