For a lot of visitors, Thailand begins in Bangkok and then branches off, to the islands, a beach resort, a mountain stay, or somewhere remote enough that a good bottle of wine is often hard to come by. That first stopover makes for more than just a convenient moment to sort out the wine for the rest of the trip, and with us you can do exactly that with just a bit of forethought and simple planning. An order from us ahead of your arrival, and we can have the bottles delivered to your hotel or wherever you find yourself staying in Thailand. Many foreign visitors also have them bubble wrapped to take back home.
Wine for the Islands, the Resort, or the Road
Many resorts and island hotels tend to keep short wine lists, so having a few bottles of your own gives you more to choose from at the end of a day on the water or in the hills. Ordering ahead means you can pick wines to suit the trip, a crisp white for the beach, something lighter and chilled for a hot evening, a red for a long dinner, instead of settling for whatever happens to be available where you end up. And another great note is that many local favorites and restaurants often allow corkage and byob meaning even the most nonchalant meal can be accompanied by a great bottle.
Taking Wine Home from Thailand
Thailand, despite the impression that our wines here suffer from expensive overheads due to taxation, an excellent place to buy bottles for the home cellar, particularly if you are visiting from Singapore, Hong Kong, KL or Mumbai, where in actuality wine prices in Thailand are now competitive with what you would pay at home, especially for more premium or hard to find bottles marked at often the same if not slightly cheaper than top notch independent retailers back home. As it currently seems, Thailand is teeming with rare and allocated wines, mature vintages, and coveted producers, a selection we are proud to boast rivals what one will find throughout the region. We will always make sure wine labels are protected to make sure your bottles look their best after travel home with you in your checked luggage.
