ELEPHANT SMALL

For ABC Wednesday


ELEPHANT SMALL



The Thai word for Elephant is Chang
Changnoi means Baby Elephant, or Elephant Small


ME – DOB – 150564

AMERICAN REPARTEE

‘Since you drink so much, I think inside you, not blood, only beer; Beer Chang.
My baby will be born fifty percent Chang; the Thai for elephant!’

‘A boy born half elephant, half baby; baby elephant; Changnoi!’

NAISAIKU-INCIDENCE?

No smoke without fire
Yes, I’m partial to Beer Chang
My son’s name…? Changnoi
ELEPHANT SMALL… SUSSED
Changnoi, my son’s name
Beer Chang, my Thai beer of choice
No smoke without fire

CHEERS!


OUR SON, ภูรินทร์ (CHANGNOI) – DOB - 090801



CHANG BEER – DOB 1991

It’s a bit like the Budweiser thing… same, same, but different… different but same
Chang Beer – Pride of Thailand
Changnoi - Pride of Thailand

    Thanks to:
    Sylvia; They must take after their mother...
    Anthony; Just the one - at 6.4 ABV, it hits the spot.

    I love the label of the Chang beer; don't see elephants on U.S. beer!
