Though, not my favourite by any means, I just wanted to throw a shout out for real homebrew lau khow. I believe most that are unacquainted with how locals imbibed this white lightening years ago and understand the mythology of the commercial side of the crap have been mislead. For sure, commercial {store bought} lau khow is quite near diesel fuel or paint thinner - in taste as well as potency. If you've ever had an opportunity to take the local spirit as it was once known, you'll find that some of the homebrew is quite decent and delicate. Not the chemical enriched s**t that passes for the masses - but real time honoured rice whiskey. Some home producers fuse the sweeter and milder "wine" with assorted flavours - citrus, jasmine, papaya, etc. Since the ban on home manufactured whiskey had been lifted a few years ago {not that such mandates stopped anyone before}, the local art and craft of creating such lovely lau khow has returned for local consumption. My Father-in-Law comes from the old school of spirit making......quite nice. As I've taken a number of recipes for for the brew over the years in a variety of places throughout the country. One cannot even compare the home-style for the commercial side. A caveat.....lao khow was not meant to be taken everyday - as it can be a killer.

'Lau Khow' is also a reason for the high number of liver cancer deaths in Thailand
