Are you in Southeast Asia, or somewhere close to Thailand? I can only assume that Asahi has contracted with Boon Rawd or another of the Thai brewers to produce their beer for Southeast Asian or other convenient markets, just as Kirin contracted with Anheuser-Busch to do their brewing for North America and Sapporo owns a plant in Guelph. The Asahi sold in the U.S. is brewed in Canada, and the company is without question headquartered in Tokyo.

I also know I've never seen a Thai person drink it, and I've consumed many thousands of beers in Thailand among Thais. Thai beers (owned by Thai companies) are much more popular there, along with a couple of international big names (Heineken's pretty big there, too, as is Tiger, of Singapore).
