I love a nice cold Singha with Thai food, but I think it’s the only Thai beer that I can find in Washington, DC. I’d love to try couple of the others.

Chang beer rules. Actually to be fair Thai beer is great because they are different to the same lager that you get in every other country in the world

I’ve worked up quite a thirst now. I’ll have to nip out and check the accuracy of your research

Agree with previous poster, Singha or Heineken (bottled) are perfect for this climate and cuisine…

From the selection above Leo beer is probably my beer of choice although when i can find it I am also partial to German beers and the odd Kilkenny!

Mmmh…I like Leo beer from the can. Although it really tastes bad from the bottle, it is my favourite can beer in Thailand. Everyone will agree that the same beer tastes different from the can, bottle and draught.

As I said, my favourite from the can is Leo - it is for occasions like the typical man’s breakfeast on the balcony of your hotel room (can of beer + cigarette). As its really watery, and soft, you can enjoy it even with an empty stomach and it quenches your thirst in the heat.

From the bottle its Heineken or Singha. Watery with a bit more taste of real beer, they are the perfect companions for spicy Thai meals. If you put a few ice cubes inside, you won’t ruin anything, as those beers are quite watery anyway and it will quench your thirst better.

Coming to draught beer, its definetly Chang. As you said, it is the only real beer in Thailand and coming from the land of beer (Germany), I claim to have a certain native sense of taste for beer. All other beers sold in Thailand, including Heineken, taste like water. A fresht draught Chang beer is the right thing for your evening entertainment like hanging in pubs or playing snooker. In an air-conditioned ambience you can enjoy it and of course without ice cubes. In more stylish places like discos/clubs or if no Chang is available you do best with a cold bottle of Heineken.
