Any trance clubs in BKK?

For that specific weekend, check if Narz on Sukhumvit 23 has anything booked. They do a lot of melodic techno and progressive house, which is the closest you'll get to trance in a proper club setting. The Funktion-One sound system there is worth hearing even if the genre isn't a perfect match. Otherwise, your best bet is to look up the "Trance Family Thailand" Facebook group, they post all the small underground parties and guest sets that don't show up on mainstream club calendars.

honestly trance is kinda dead in bangkok these days, most clubs are into techno or edm trap now. but if u want proper house and trance, check out mustache bar on sukhumvit 21, they do a lot of melodic stuff and it's a small intimate spot. also glow on sukhumvit 23 sometimes has trance nights but it's more hit or miss, check their fb page before going. for a bigger club vibe, sing sing theater plays some house on weekends but it's more commercial.

if u want trance specifically, might be worth checking out the events at beam on sukhumvit 23. they do rotating guest djs and sometimes pull in proper trance acts, tho it's more of a club night vibe than a dedicated trance club. another option is haven't heard much about but the rooftop at octave on sukhumvit 55 has house djs on fridays and saturdays, just not trance really. for something different, the bar at w hotel on sathorn does a sunday pool party with house music but it's daytime only

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
