 I hope I have convinced you at Char Rooftop Bar Bangkok is worth a visit. 

How are the beer prices?

Char Rooftop Bar Hotel Bangkok

Well I’m glad you asked. B160 for an Asahi or Heineken & B150 foe a Singha is quite reasonable for a rooftop bar of this quality.

You are breaking my heart, either pay the B280 for a Margarita or find a new girlfriend who drinks beer. 🙂
