Gym with indoor basketball court?

fitness first at silom complex has a court but its usually booked for classes after 5pm so go midday if u can. virgin active at empire tower is another option, court access is included in the platinum tier not the basic one so check which membership ur getting. tbh the free court thing is rare here, most places charge per hour on top of dues

the court at true fitness on rama 9 is included but only off peak, think weekdays before 4pm. after that its 300 baht an hour on top of ur membership which defeats the point. also check the court size, some of these "courts" are half court with a low ceiling so u cant even shoot properly

True Fitness at Siam Paragon has one but it's actually run separately, you pay the gym membership and then the court has its own fee unless you go for the higher tier package. Honestly for free indoor courts you might have better luck with some of the condo gyms around Sukhumvit, a few of them have half courts and you don't need a separate membership if you know someone living there.

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
