Best Happy Hours in BKK?

yeah charley browns still does the half off margs from 5-7 i think, but honestly the food there is overpriced for what you get. if you want better bang for your buck, head to tichuca rooftop around 6, they have a 2 for 1 on singha towers till 7 and the view is way better than anything on sukhumvit 11

the vibe at tichuca is more chill too, not as loud as some of the other rooftop spots. for something different, try the bar behind the old wooden door on soi 23, they do 100 baht mojitos from 5-8 and it's a hidden gem most tourists miss

Charley Browns still does the half off margs from 5-7, though the crowd there gets rowdy fast. If you want something quieter, Rabbit Hole on Soi 11 has a pretty solid happy hour from 6-8 with 180 baht negronis and a much better cocktail game. Their hidden back room is usually less packed than the main bar.

Tichuca is solid but gets packed fast, especially on weekends. I'd hit up Teens of Thailand on Soi Nana (the old one, not the tourist strip) for their 4-7 PM deal. They do 150 baht negronis and the gin selection is absurd, way better than any rooftop gimmick. The place is tiny though, maybe 15 seats, so get there before 5 if you want a spot at the bar.

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
