Actually, a pint is 473ml.
Get a dry Pint or 500ml Pint on top of it to confuse everyone.
""The imperial pint (≈ 568 ml) is used in the United Kingdom and Ireland and to a limited extent in Commonwealth nations. In the United States, two pints are used: a liquid pint (≈ 473 ml) and a less-common dry pint (≈ 551 ml). Each of these pints is one-eighth of its respective gallon, but the gallons differ and the imperial pint is about 20% larger than the US liquid pint.""
That's what's done in BKK. So you know you should get something between 473ml and 568ml.
That's why I love the metric system.

I was at the Brewski Sky Bar last night and the "pints" there are 470 ml (so I stand corrected.)
About 10-12 different beers on tap and over 100 different varieties of beer when counting bottles too. The 200 thb special was Maha Nakorn, a Thai craft beer of the wheat beer variety. (Pretty good, actually.) Most of the other "pints" were in the 260-300 thb range.

The protectionist garbage is solely a nod to the two families who control Boon Raed and Thai-Bev (Chang).

Spot on. I listed it by brand for the TV members who read the forum but don't live here and may not be as familiar with the parent companies.

Yes, that law that limits permissible brewers to those that manufacture at least 10 million liters per year is what keeps the Thai craft brewing scene from developing. Some are finding ways around it, though. The Thai brewers of Chiang Mai Wheat (very tasty) moved operations to Cambodia and "export" their beer from Cambodia back into Thailand.

It's not super high up (maybe 15th floor?), but the Four Points has a rooftop pool/bar/restaurant that kids/teenagers would probably enjoy more than a fancy resto. Chill, casual, and if you download the Eatigo app, you can sometimes eat there for 50% off.
