I agree about the Chang...nasty beer. Give me a Leo any day and I am a happy man. Be back in less than 2 weeks for 3.5 weeks of pounding my Leo's every day. Wish more bars in Bangkok had Leo though, but almost ever bar that I frequent in Pattaya has it thankfully...much better than Chang
FWIW, my friend's family name is "Bishop" and there will be a family reunion and wedding in Australia in early January. In the Dubai area where we live, there is a British beer called "Bishop's Finger", that frankly is OK, but we would not walk across the sand dunes specifically for it - or anything else except water. That said, she wants to take some when she flies into Australia. Since it is not available in duty-free at DXB, she will put bottles packed into her suitcase.

I offered to bring more into Australia when I go there to meet her - IF she could bring some "extra" into Thailand when she comes for a visit at the end of the month. She will return to DXB and and then fly DXB-MEL in late December with her supply for the family.

Hence the question about how much she can bring into BKK when she flies in.

Now you know "the rest of the story"
