Condos and apartments with best furnishings / interior design?

You might want to look at the Marque or Tela Thonglor buildings. They're usually a step above most condo projects in terms of interior finishes, and the studios in the 50k-70k range often have floor-to-ceiling windows with decent skyline views. The kitchens in those units tend to be fully integrated too, not that weird open shelf setup you see in some Ashtons.

For something a bit different, check out the newer Life Sukhumvit towers along the BTS line around Phra Khanong or On Nut. The builder's standard furniture package is actually pretty cohesive (dark wood, clean lines, good lighting), and units on higher floors get you those city views without the Thonglor price tag. Just avoid the low floor ones near the main road, the noise creeps in.

honestly for that budget you might wanna look at the Ideo or The Line projects, they usually have decent modern finishes and some units have pretty good views, just check the exact unit pics since the developer packages can vary a lot between floors

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
