The Story of “One More”
In the lush orchards of Northern Thailand, nestled between the verdant hills and quiet rivers, there was a small village known for producing the best cider in the country. This cider was called “One More”, and its reputation had spread far and wide — from the bustling streets of Bangkok to the serene beaches of Phuket.
The story of One More began with a man named Somchai, a farmer with a passion for apples. While the rest of the village focused on rice farming, Somchai believed the region’s fertile soil and unique climate were perfect for growing apples. With determination and a little luck, he planted his first apple orchard and nurtured each tree with unwavering care.
Over the years, Somchai’s orchard flourished. The apples he grew were crisp, juicy, and bursting with flavour. Inspired by the traditional ciders he sampled during his travels abroad, he set out to craft his own. He spent countless hours refining the recipe — balancing sweetness and tartness to create a cider that was refreshing, vibrant, and unforgettable.
Somchai named his cider “One More” — a nod to the reaction he hoped for from every drinker: the irresistible desire to enjoy just one more glass. And soon enough, the name became synonymous with craftsmanship and exceptional quality.
One More’s success wasn’t just due to its remarkable flavour. Somchai embraced sustainable farming, employing local villagers and teaching them the craft of cider-making. His belief in community and shared prosperity added heart to the cider’s legend, making it more than just a drink — it was a story, a livelihood, and a pride of the region.
The secret behind One More lay in Somchai’s carefully selected blend of apple varieties and a slow, meticulous fermentation process. Each type of apple contributed its own unique notes, and the patient ageing allowed the cider to develop a beautifully balanced, complex flavour.
As popularity grew, the once-quiet village transformed into a vibrant destination. Visitors from around the world travelled to tour the orchards, explore the cider facilities, and taste the legendary One More straight from its source. Annual festivals celebrated the cider with music, dancing, and overflowing glasses of Somchai’s creation.
During one unforgettable summer festival, Somchai unveiled his most exceptional batch yet — aged to perfection and sealed with a golden label. When the first glasses were poured, the crowd knew immediately that this was something extraordinary: crisp, refreshing, subtly floral, with hints of honey.
As the villagers and visitors raised their glasses in celebration, the same reaction echoed from person to person: everyone wanted just one more.
The legend of One More continued to grow — not only as the finest cider in Thailand, but as a symbol of passion, community, and what can be achieved through hard work and a single idea that refuses to fade.
And today, that same legendary cider can be found at The Drunken Apple.
