Best luxury hotel in Bangkok.... with kitchen?
My wife has special dietary needs and we need a small kitchenette to… I'm vacationing to Bangkok for 25 days. We've saved up a lot of money and would like to treat ourselves to a few luxurious hotels.
My wife has special dietary needs and we need a small kitchenette to accommodate her. A fridge, sink and cooktop is plenty -- no need for big ovens or anything like that.
Can you recommend some upscale luxury Hotels in Bangkok that have a small kitchen? Other requirements would be next to BTS skytrain station.
fwiw the Sukhothai Bangkok has these "residence" rooms that come with a proper kitchenette - induction cooktop, microwave, sink, the works. it's on Sathorn which is a bit disconnected from BTS but their tuk-tuk shuttle to Sala Daeng station runs every 10 minutes so not a huge hassle. the garden pool area is gorgeous if u want to unwind after cooking, way quieter than the riverfront hotels
honestly check out the St. Regis on Rajadamri road. their residential suites have proper kitchenettes with a cooktop and full size fridge, not just a minibar situation. it's literally connected to Rajadamri BTS station so you won't break a sweat hauling groceries. the breakfast buffet is overrated imo but the butler service is legit if you need help stocking the kitchen.
The Siam has a few suites with kitchenettes and it's right by the river, but you'd need a taxi to the nearest BTS.
best som tam in Bangkok? Krua Dok Mai Kao 2026
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
