Can anyone recommend a video recording space in Bangkok?

Check out the Bangkok Screening Room on Soi Sainamthip, they have a small rental studio in the back that's dead quiet and the walls are thick enough you won't hear Sukhumvit noise. It's 800 baht an hour and the lighting is already decent, just bring your own camera. If that's booked, try the co-working space at The Commons on Thong Lo 17, they have soundproof phone booths big enough to stand in with a tripod, about 300 baht for two hours. Most people don't realize those booths exist because they're meant for calls, but they work fine for video.

honestly just look up "photo studio rental" on facebook marketplace, tons of people rent out their condo units by the hour or day for exactly this. i've seen a few near thong lo that are fully set up with nice backdrops and soundproofing, way easier than filtering through airbnb.

try searching on rent hub or hipflat instead of airbnb, they have more long-stay condos that people use as studios. nana area has some serviced apartments with soundproof rooms meant for content creation, the one on suk soi 3 is decent. if you're on a budget, look up "creative space" on google maps near ekkamai, there's a few co-working spots that let you book private rooms by the hour

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
