Where to watch 2AM Euros games?

soi 11 is your best bet for late night football tbh. the irish bars like o'sheas or the londoner will have the games on and they're used to the euro crowd staying past 2am. just check their schedule first, some might close early if it's a dead match

skipping the soi cowboy area, the sports bars there are more for tourists who don't know better and the drinks are overpriced. for a more local vibe try the sportsman on soi 13, they keep the tvs on til the final whistle even if the bar technically closes

The Londoner on Soi 33 is my go-to for late kickoffs. They're a proper pub that just keeps the beers flowing and the game on regardless of the hour, and the crowd there actually watches the match instead of just treating it as background noise. Just be prepared for a bit of a walk from the BTS if you're coming from Nana, it's about 10 minutes down Soi 33.

If you're around Sukhumvit, the Game on Soi 23 usually stays open for late matches and has a few screens, though it can get pretty packed. Another option is the Robin Hood on Soi 33/1, they're known for keeping the TVs on for the full 90 even if it's past their listed closing time. Just double check on their socials the day of, since some smaller spots only do late games if there's enough people there to make it worth their while.

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
