Good Hair Spa near Pratumnam ?
Has an… I am visiting Bangkok after almost 30 years ! Research in reddit and internet turned up many many hair spa in Bangkok and those with better reviews are rather far from where I will be staying.
Has anyone tried a good hair spa near Pratumnam ? I have limited time so prefer walking distance (instead of risking bad traffic or walking to/fro BTS stations). Good as in hygienic and professional, those XX steps hair spa where they place running streams of water on scalp etc. Thanks.
Check out Siam Square instead of staying strictly in Pratunam. It's about a 10-15 minute walk through the underpass, and you'll find places like Lolita or Suksa Hair and Beauty that do the water stream scalp treatments you're describing. They're cleaner and more professional than the tourist-trap spots right in the market area. Just make sure to book ahead, walk-ins can be a gamble with wait times.
Tons of options around Pratunam, depends what you're after. Luxury? Budget-friendly? Specific treatments? Need more info!
honestly been asked a thousand times on here but okay. pratunam is a mess for hair spas, most are overpriced and aimed at tourists who dont know better. if u want that water stream thing without dealing with bts chaos walk north past pantip plaza into the smaller soi off
best som tam in Bangkok? Krua Dok Mai Kao 2026
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
