Best riverside spots to have a drink?

You should try Sathorn 11 Pier. It's a little hidden spot behind the BTS, right on the water with cheap beer and decent Thai food. The view is more industrial than Jack's but it feels authentic and you can watch the ferries load up. Gets busy after 6 with the after-work crowd so grab a table early.

for a super chill spot with no frills, check out the deck at khlong san market. it's right on the water, cheap beer, and you get the local ferry chaos instead of fancy boats. way less touristy than jack's

try octave rooftop at the riverfront. not exactly outdoor but the terrace has solid views of the river and the skyline, especially at sunset. it's on charoen krung so you can walk along the river path after. pricier than jack's but the vibes are worth it if you want something a bit more polished

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
