Rooftop Party Saturday. Anyone wanna go?

I've been to a few events at Novotel Sky and the sound system is actually pretty decent for a hotel rooftop, not just background music like some places. If you're planning to stay late, grab a bite at the food court in Terminal 21 before you head up, it's a short walk and way cheaper than what they charge for snacks upstairs.

honestly depends what you're after. if it's a party party then Novotel Sky is fine, the crowd there is usually a mix of tourists and locals who just wanna dance. but if you want something more chill with a killer view of the river go to Sky Bar at Lebua instead, just be ready to pay 400 baht for a basic cocktail. either way saturday night in bangkok is always a vibe

Novotel Sky has a solid view but the drinks are a bit overpriced in my opinion. If you're flexible on venue, I'd check out Above Eleven on Sukhumvit 11 instead, same rooftop vibe with better cocktail deals. Either way, Saturday should be a good time.

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
