When
the cooler weather arrives in October and on into November,
the Thai breweries get together to set up beer gardens and
events around Bangkok.
The
biggest and most popular is in front of the World Trade Center
at the Rajprasong Intersection. Various types of Thai food
and snacks are also showcased, often with whole barbecued
pigs and other roast meat dishes.
Other
popular beer gardens are at SCB Park Plaza at Ratchayothin
- a little far out but a more upmarket location, the Discovery
Center on Siam Square, Seacon Square and the Seri Center on
Srinakarin Road, and at various smaller sites around the city.
A
number of smaller pubs and microbreweries have also set up
in recent years offering draft beer (usually lager), and food
(usually German-style). Here are some of the more popular
ones:
