Which Jetts Fitness in BKK has the vertical plate loaded hammer strength press?

yeah the Fortune Town one is solid but if you're already maxing out matrix stuff you might wanna try the Jetts at Seacon Square. they kept a surprising amount of old school hammer strength gear when they redid the floor last year.

also tbh if you're really after that specific press and willing to travel a bit the Jetts at Fashion Island has a whole corner of plate loaded stuff nobody uses. just bring your own towel cause their cleaning game is weak

honestly your best bet for that hammer strength press is the Jetts at Fortune Town on Ratchada. they've got a solid selection of plate loaded stuff that most other branches swapped out for matrix ages ago. the one at Central Rama 9 might have it too but Fortune Town is more reliable for the old school gear

also worth checking the Jetts on Sukhumvit 50. it's a bit out of the way but they kept a bunch of hammer strength when they renovated last year. just call ahead first cause their front desk actually picks up unlike some other branches

The Jetts at CentralPlaza Lardprao has that exact vertical press. It's tucked in the back corner near the free weight section, most people walk right past it. I used to train at Queen Sirikit too and that machine is nearly identical.

If you're on the red card and heading out that way, go during late morning on weekdays. The place gets packed with students from the nearby university after 4pm and you'll be waiting forever for anything plate loaded.

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
