Cha Yen (Thai Iced Tea)

The Cha Yem is believed to be the most popular and most delicious drink to have while in Thailand. The drink is an orange and milky traditional tea that often wins the hearts of many tourists. The iced tea is brewed with tea leaves then mixed with condensed milk that adds the milky and sweet flavour. This drink can be enjoyed both hot and cold! The Cha Yen is easy to find and the price is very affordable. The drink can range from 15 to 20 Thai Onshore Baht (THB).

Oliang (Thai Iced Coffee)

Yet another traditional drink of Thailand. The Oliang is deemed to be similar to the Americano but is not exactly the same. Depending on the recipe used, the Oliang is a mix of coffee with other ingredients such as roasted rice and caramel. This results in a unique flavor with a similar taste to the already mentioned Americano. Prices on this drink can vary. You can purchase the drink from a street vendor for a price between 15 to 30 THB. That price can then rise to about 60 THB depending on the stature of café you visit.

Nom Yen (Iced Milk with Syrup)

Popular among Thai children and teenagers. The Nom Yen is comprised of fresh hot milk which is then mixed with either red or green syrup and then mixed with Ice. This drink is usually enjoyed with a set of steamed bread and a Kaya dipping (coconut jam). You can purchase the Nom Yen for around 15 to 25 THB or 30 to 60 THB with a side of bakery.

Thai Beer

Both Chang and Singha are two Thai beer that have gained international recognition for their great taste. In Thailand, they are loved for that taste and their fair price. You can buy either beers at any convenience stores between the hours of 11.00 to 14.00 and 17.00 to 00.00.

Thai Whiskey

There are two must-try whiskeys in Thailand, Mekhong and Sangsom. They are made with 95% of Sugercane and molasses with 5% of Rice. This resembles more of a rum but in Thailand, it is still known as whiskey. The two whiskeys mentioned above are famous for their cheap price.
