No it isn't. It's made by Asahi Bīru Kabushiki Gaisha, Japan's second largest brewery. The stuff sold in the U.S. is manufactured in Guelph, Ontario, I believe, or else in St. Louis, MO.

I lived in Thailand for many years, I don't think I had Asahi there more than once. Sapporo is more popular there, and that's mostly in Japanese restaurants.

Another hint is that Asahi is a Japanese word, meaning "dawn."

You might be thinking of Amarit, which is a Thai beer.
