Gas Stations

One thing we noticed while out walking is the "gas stations." Actual gas stations like back home are few and far between. I think I've seen 1 or 2 while driving and walking around the island. But what you do see is this: sitting in front of a shop there's a handful of 40 oz beer bottles all lined up on a table or in a wire rack, filled with gasoline, a funnel sitting next to them and a sign for "Gas- 50 Baht" (or whatever the price is). It is really a great idea, especially considering the high volume of motorcycles and mopeds that people drive. It's great as long as you don't sit the gas bottle down next to your bottle of Chang beer and get them confused, as they look remarkably the same! Here is a good argument for drinking a Stout or other dark beer.
