Answer

Generally, bringing your own alcohol to restaurants or bars in Thailand is not common and can be frowned upon, as most places prefer you purchase from their menu. • However, some establishments may allow this, especially if they don't have a specific liquor license, but it's always best to ask first. • If you're thinking about hosting an event, many venues are open to discussing corkage fees or special arrangements, so don’t hesitate to inquire!
