Bangkok’s famous brewer-turned-member-of-Parliament, Tao, was the guest on the most recent episode of the Bangkok Podcast. Although rather light of beer information, Taopiphop on the Bangkok Podcast did talk a lot about the current state of politics and will-he or won’t he run again.
For those interested, here are some more links related to Tao and his bar, as well as his work on changing some of the beers laws within Thailand. Again, he has a very cool bar west of the river. It has a great selection of beer, and is well worth chceking out.
