Would anyone recommend any bars near Khaosan Rd for euros final?

If you want to avoid the chaos but still be close, check out The Club on Khaosan itself. It's right near the entrance on the Chao Phra River side and has a big screen on the rooftop, so you get a breeze while watching. Drinks are a bit pricier at around 130 baht for a beer, but the view over the street is worth it if you don't mind the noise levels.

honestly skip the bars right on khaosan itself, it's a zoo and the sound systems are trash. head to rambuttri street just off the main road, there's a place called the brick bar that has a decent projector setup and the crowd is more chill. they'll prob have the sound on for the match but it wont be deafening like the main strip. beers are like 80 baht there too, way better than the 120+ on khaosan

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
