The brewer-cum-politician Taopiph or “Tao” Limjittrakorn is Bangkok’s brewing legislative attack dog. He stands tall in the beer community—and literally at over 2 meters tall. He’s done time for his brewing, and he takes it seriously. Since his scuffle with the law for illegal brewing, Tao has since become a legal brewer, a member of parliament, and has tried his hand at a number of his own bars. His canned beers are brewed at TSI. (BK Magazine)
