Recently there was a discussion here about coffee and "Kopi Lumut" was
mentioned. Today I passed a coffee shop selling Cafe Chamot - Chamot
is the Thai name for a Lumuk.

I stopped in and, thinking I might sample the stuff, asked how much a
cup of this coffee was. Five hundred baht the girl tells me (about US$
16.60). I decided not to buy any but did ask whether they sold it by
the kilogram and they told me "certainly, and the price is 40,000
baht". That is US$ 1,333 a kg. or $606 a pound.

Or, $1,212,000 a ton :-)

As a comparison, a cup of coffee in a coffee shop type place is
usually 45baht - 1.50




Maybe that's the coffee that has Viagra in it? Might be worth it, Bruce, if
you drink some than hitch up with your favorite lady boy. LOL.


Nice one Willie-boy. Do they actually sell Viagra coffee there in the
land of the free and the brave? I didn't realize that y'all had that
much problem with the straight (and narrow).

It certainly does prove that the teenager's slang, "Oh, he's limp",
for someone who is mentally challenged is more apt then I had
imagined.

Cheers,
