Hi, I will be working a lot on my computer while in Bangkok for the rest of the month. Do you know of any cool workspaces, preferably rooftop ones that sell or serve coffee? A buffet would be nice. Please provide the price and something close to Watthana

honestly for rooftop workspace in watthana with coffee, try the rooftop at noble play on sukhumvit 31. it's a condo building but the common area on the 8th floor is open to anyone who buys a drink from the cafe there, coffee's about 90 baht. no buffet but there's a small bakery with croissants for 60 baht. the breeze is nice and it's way less packed than the bigger spots

if you want a proper buffet setup, you're better off at a hotel like the marriott on sukhumvit 57, their rooftop restaurant has a breakfast buffet for 650 baht until 11am, but you can work there with a coffee order after. just don't expect it to be quiet, it gets busy with guests

Check out the rooftop at K Village, it's in Watthana on Sukhumvit 26. They have a co-working lounge called The Work Loft with decent coffee from a local roaster, around 100 baht a cup. No buffet, but the food court downstairs has a Thai-style set meal for 120 baht that's pretty filling. It's usually less crowded than the W District spot.

The Roof at W District in Phra Khanong is a solid bet for a rooftop workspace with coffee and food. They have a co-working area that's open-air, and the coffee is pretty decent, around 80-120 baht for a latte. The food court downstairs does a buffet-style lunch for about 150 baht, but it's not a 24-hour thing. If you want something quieter, check out the rooftop at The Commons in Thonglor, it's a bit further but has great coffee from Roots and a chilled vibe with no buffet.

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
