Imagine this: You're stretched out on a pristine beach in Koh Samui, Thailand, the sun kissing your skin, and the turquoise waves gently lapping at the shore. There's something truly magical about this tropical paradise, and it gets even better when you have an ice-cold beer in hand.
During my unforgettable holiday in Koh Samui, I had the absolute pleasure of savoring some delightful local Thailand beers. As I savored every sip, I couldn't help but dive into the fascinating history behind these Thai Beers while capturing its essence in a mini photoshoot for the Beer Community on Hive! Stay tuned for a series of posts on the different Thai Beers to follow! 🤗

A Brief History of San Miguel Light Beer
In the midst of my Thai beer journey, an unexpected guest makes its appearance – San Miguel Light Beer. Unlike the Thai beers we've been exploring, San Miguel Light hails from the Philippines instead. I've cheekily decided to include it in this Thai beer series since I had the pleasure of sipping this refreshing beer in Koh Samui, Thailand. Forgive me for the deviation, but I couldn't resist sharing this delightful experience with you!
Let's touch upon the history of San Miguel Light Beer. This light beer, produced by San Miguel Brewery, a subsidiary of San Miguel Corporation, is a beloved staple in the Philippines and beyond. Founded in 1890, San Miguel Brewery has a long and storied tradition of brewing excellence.
San Miguel Light Beer is renowned for its crisp and refreshing taste, making it a favorite choice for those seeking a lighter beer option. It's a testament to the brewery's commitment to crafting quality beers that cater to a variety of palates! 👏
Coco Tam's Beach Club
My adventure begins with a search for a relaxing spot by the beach, which led us to Coco Tam's Beach Club, a highly-reviewed beachfront haven in Koh Samui. The moment we stepped inside, the interior design instantly transported us to a tropical paradise, exuding Hawaii vibes with its laid-back, beachy ambiance 😊
Coco Tam's has a vast beachfront area that truly comes to life as the sun sets. In the evening, they start laying out bean bags along the beach, creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere for guests to unwind and enjoy the beautiful beachscape! 😍
Savoring San Miguel Light in Paradise
As we settled into the beachfront ambiance at Coco Tam's, I couldn't resist trying San Miguel Light Beer, a refreshing change from the Thai beers that had dominated my trip. The beer arrived with a delightful twist – a small lime wedge, adding a zesty note to the flavor profile. The first sip was like a burst of tropical sunshine, light, and crisp, with a hint of citrus that was perfect for the beachside setting! 😋
A Night to Remember
As the night descended upon us, we were treated to a pleasant surprise. A group of buskers arrived at the beach and began their signature fire show, a spectacle that I had reviewed in an earlier post about this trip. The dancing flames against the backdrop of the beach, the sound of the waves, and the taste of San Miguel Light Beer created a magical evening to remember! 🤗
So, as I conclude my Thai beer series by deviating from the actually sharing about a Thai beer, I hope you'll join me in toasting to the unexpected delights that travel can bring. San Miguel Light Beer may not be from Thailand, but it found its way into my heart on the shores of Koh Samui. Here's to exploration, deviation, and the joy of discovering new flavors in the most unexpected places. Cheers!
