I Tried Thailand’s Infamous Rice Whiskey (Lao Khao)… and It Horrified Me

Описание: Ready to face the ultimate Bangkok booze challenge? In this video I take on Thailand’s infamous rice whiskey: Lao Khao. I grabbed a bottle and braved it like a tuk-tuk driver special—and yes, I tried it straight from the bottle. The smell wasn’t too bad, but the taste? Paint-stripper level. I’ll walk you through my first impressions, how locals actually drink this stuff, and why I’m still recovering.

What you’ll get:
• My honest and unfiltered reaction to Lao Khaofor the first time
• A breakdown of the taste, strength and “grab-taxi/tuk-tuk” reputation behind it
• Real Thai street-life context: where it's bought, who drinks it, what to expect
• Insider tips: if you’re in Thailand and tempted—should you even try it? Spoiler: it’s brutal
• Bonus: quick moment on pricing in Bangkok (66 ฿) and a note about the creative label (yes, that bottle design)
