Favorite places to work from?

honestly the best work spot in asok is just the lobby of the sheraton grande sukhumvit. grab a seat in the corner near the back, buy one coffee from the cafe and they won't bother u for hours. wifi is fast and it's way less crowded than any coworking space around terminal 21. plus if u get hungry the food court in the basement of terminal 21 is right across the street and has cheap thai food for like 50 baht

For the Asok area, I'd actually point you to the public library at Sukhumvit Soi 61, about a 10-minute walk from Ekkamai BTS. It's called the Bangkok City Library and it's free to use, just bring your passport to register. It's quieter than most cafes and has solid WiFi, plus a decent cafe downstairs if you need a coffee break. I've found it's a good spot when the usual coffee shop noise gets old.

the coffee shop at the top of the emquartier mall is solid for working, called the larder. take the bts to phrom phong, it's one stop from asok. they've got big tables, outlets everywhere, and the view over the city is nice. wifi is fine and it's usually not packed on weekday mornings, just avoid lunch rush

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
