- Krating Daeng is the beverage that became the origin of the world-famous energy drink, Red Bull. It was created in Thailand in 1976 and later partnered with Dietrich Mateschitz from Austria to expand globally. The name "กระทิงแดง" means "red bull," symbolizing strength and energy. Since it doesn't contain carbonation, Japanese people have described its taste as "a flavor that hits you like concentrated orange juice." Interestingly, Krating Daeng was initially developed for long-distance truck drivers and workers, but it is now valued for energy replenishment in various aspects of modern life. In Thailand, the birthplace of this energy drink, the author finds that the result of storing up all that energy seems to be merely posting on social media. It seems that finding where to use this energy is, in fact, more challenging than the energy drink itself!
