I must be the exception to the rule, I have only ever drunk Chang beer in Thailand, with the exception of draft Singha from time to time. The old variety Chang beer that is when it was 3 large bottles for 90 baht and the alcohol by volume was 6.8%. Now 3 of the smaller bottles at 5% by volume cost the best part of 168 baht! That said, I hardly drink any beer these days and I have given up on the wine and spirits too. After 69 years I have reluctantly and begrudgingly come to the conclusion that I actually feel better without alcohol in my body.

Nomad I don't remember Chang ever being 6.8%.....The only one that was 6.8% was Red Horse......The Chang I'm drinking right now is 5.2%.

Chang was "supposed" to be around 6.8% Abv back in early 2000's. Many said that it varied between 6.00% and 8.00% due to lack of quality control. I wouldn't have a clue because I was fishcaked on it most of the time!

When Chang was launched in 1995 its stated strength was 6.4 %
 
I think it came down, quite quickly, in two stages.... was it 5.8 then 5.2 ?
 
Whatever, Chang at 6.4 or 6.8 was strong beer and did not need too many bottles before bedtime. Seem to remember 3 large bottles shared with a friend was enouch for the pair of us.

The new stronger Singha Light goes down well as does a drop of Leo. I've noticed over the years the Heineken I used to drink in Pattaya did not taste as good as in the UK or Amsterdam for example. God forbid the Heineken could have been a copy!

LEO was my beer of choice for years until Chang dropped the abv. Frankly, all Thai beers are cat's piss compared to UK and European brews.
