Is there any best rice soup in Bangkok? Seafood or not is fine though.

Jok Prince on Charoen Krung is a solid bet, their plain rice soup is super clean and hits the spot after a night out. Or if you're near Bang Rak, try Jok Sam Yan, it's open late and they do a mean one with pork balls.

honestly if you're near ekkamai, jok khao tom soei on sukhumvit 63 is my go-to. their jok is super thick and they load it with shredded chicken and ginger, which is exactly what you need when your head's pounding. it's open till like 4am so perfect for that 2am stumble.

another option is the street stall near bts phrom phong, soi 24 exit. no name really, just a guy with a cart and a big pot. he does a mean khao tom with shrimp and garlic oil, not really jok but that salty broth hits different after a few beers. costs like 50 baht and he's there from 10pm til dawn.

ngl the best sober-up jok is probably khoa tom pla from nai mong hoi thod on khao san. it's not fancy but that peppery fish broth will sort u out better than any jok. they're open weird hours too so if ur stumbling around at 3am it works. just don't expect a sit-down spot, it's more of a plastic stool on the sidewalk vibe

Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but I've always found their som tam a bit tame on the pla ra. If you want the real funky version, try the shophouse spots along Soi Udomsuk 26, near the night market end. They pound it fresh with fermented fish that'll clear your sinuses, and it's like 60 baht. Different style from the On Nut places, more Lao-leaning.

for som tam specifically i'd say the Isaan spots in Chatuchak are underrated, weekdays only though since the weekend crowd ruins the vibe. there's a stall near gate 2 that does tam pa with fermented bamboo shoots, super sour and funky, not something you see much in On Nut. if you're already heading north for Or Tor Kor anyway its worth the detour.

honestly the som tam at Krua Dok Mai Kao is good but what got me hooked is their nam prik pla raa dip with the raw veggies, that funk hits way harder than the papaya does. think most people sleep on it cuz they just order the som tam and gai yang. also pro tip, go before noon on weekdays, after that teh pla ra gets milder cuz they batch it for the lunch rush
