No Need for BYOB

A lot of Thai and other Asian restaurants in Texas operate without a liquor license, meaning that if you want to drink, you have to bring your own beverage. However, there’s an extensive wine list at Sawasdee, as well as a few beers to choose from. The Asian Speciality Wine–a Takara plum wine–is a great choice if you want to keep your meal authentic. Otherwise, there are plenty of reds, whites, and sparkling wines to choose from. You can order wines by the glass or by the bottle.
