Can anyone recommend a cafe / bar that sells kratom drinks (not powder)?

a bit of a hidden spot but check out the terrace at w district on phra athit road, they do a decent kratom infusion that's more like a cocktail than a tea. it's a chill spot right by the river, usually quieter than the khao san places. just ask for the "herbal mix" on the menu, they'll know what u mean

there's a spot called kratom kaizen on sukhumvit 49 that does kratom syrups mixed with sodas and juices, more of a modern cafe vibe than a bar. they have a passionfruit one that's pretty good, 120 baht last time i was there. way less sketchy than the street stalls selling the raw stuff

honestly the hippy spots around khao san sometimes have it, but the quality is hit or miss. there's this little bar on soi rambuttri called jungle juice that'll mix it in a smoothie for you if u ask nice, way better than the sketchy tea stalls

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
