Buffet under 300 bath?

honestly for under 300 baht your best bet is the Mookata style buffets. there's a solid one on Soi 42 near On Nut BTS called Mookata 42, 259 baht per person includes unlimited pork, seafood, and veggies. the broth is free too so you get hotpot and grill in one. just go early around 5pm cause it gets packed with students

another option is the Shabu buffet at MK Gold in CentralWorld, they have a lunch set for 299 baht that includes unlimited pork and veggies, but the broth is extra small so not the same as a full buffet. still decent for the price tho

you could check out the lunch buffet at A-One in China Town, 269 baht for dim sum and some chinese dishes. not the biggest selection but the quality is decent for the price

try the seafood buffet at Khlong Toei market area, there's a place called Siam Seafood that does 250 baht for grilled prawns and squid. it's not fancy but the food's fresh and you get good bang for your buck

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
