This is the drink that started it all. Krating Daeng Extra ABC is the original Thai energy drink that inspired the global Red Bull brand. Unlike the carbonated version you know, this one is flat, syrupy, intensely sweet and comes in a small 145ml amber glass bottle. Enriched with vitamins A, B and C, it was originally made for Thai labourers in the 1970s and is now going viral as travellers and content creators discover the real story behind Red Bull.

If you have ever wondered where Red Bull actually came from, you are looking at it. Krating Daeng was created in Thailand in the 1970s as a non-carbonated energy drink for truck drivers, factory workers and labourers who needed a quick, affordable boost to get through long shifts. It stayed that way for years until an Austrian businessman tried it on a trip to Thailand, partnered with the creator, and turned it into the carbonated global brand we all know today. This tiny glass bottle is the original formula that kicked the whole thing off.

The Extra ABC version is enriched with vitamins A, B and C on top of the standard Krating Daeng recipe of taurine, caffeine and B vitamins. The taste is completely different to Western Red Bull. There is no fizz at all. It is flat, thick, almost syrupy, and much sweeter. Content creators on TikTok and YouTube have been losing it over the texture, comparing it to a liquid vitamin shot or a medicinal syrup, but in the best way. The small amber glass bottle looks nothing like a standard energy drink can, and that novelty factor is a huge part of why it keeps blowing up online.

Krating Daeng is one of those drinks that is massive across Southeast Asia but almost impossible to find in the UK without paying import markups. Whether you want to try the OG energy drink that started a billion-pound industry, film a taste test comparing it to the Western version, or just grab something genuinely different from every other energy drink on the shelf, this is it. 145ml, no carbonation, pure Thai energy heritage in a bottle.
