Brewery clan's popular Singha and Leo beers briefly faced an informal boycott in the north-east when Santi Bhirombhakdi's niece Chitpas, who had supported anti-government protests, remarked that many Thais, especially in rural areas, did not understand democracy. Her father Chutinant quickly issued a public apology. Santi is the fourth managing director in family's Boon Rawd Brewery's 80-year history following in the footsteps of his grandfather, his father and his elder brother, respectively. Family's fortune was previously listed under his uncle Chamnong. The group is diversifying into property by acquiring listed Rasa Property Development.
