Where to go in the city on a Monday/ Tuesday night out?

For Monday, check out Studio Lam on Sukhumvit 26. It's a record shop and bar with a great sound system, and they spin vinyl all night usually funk, soul, and disco. Tuesday is perfect for Wong's Place on Soi Samsen 2, it's a tiny hole-in-the-wall with cheap beers and a gritty, no-frills vibe that's been around forever. Just be prepared for it to get sweaty and loud, that's the charm.

honestly monday and tuesday are pretty chill in bangkok since most spots are recovering from the weekend but that actually works in your favor. i'd start at teens of thailand on sukhumvit 11 for cheap drinks and a fun crowd before it gets too rowdy, then hit up sing sing theater if you want a more vibe-y club with a cool interior. for tuesday, t-bar on silom soi 4 is a solid bet for a low-key night with decent music and no cover, plus the crowd is a mix of locals and travelers. if you're feeling dancey, glitz on sukhumvit 23 has a good tuesday party called "the deck" with rooftop views and a younger crowd, but get there before midnight to avoid the queue

Yeah for Monday night I'd check out Tep Bar near Khao San, they play live traditional Thai music with a modern twist and it's usually not too packed. Tuesday you could hit up Sugar Club on Thonglor, it's a bit bougie but the music's good and they have a ladies night deal sometimes.

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
