Best Rooftop Bar?

So, I'm staying at this swanky hotel, The Pattern Boutique Hotel, right in the heart of everything. The views are insane, seriously, postcard-perfect. Spent the afternoon exploring little side streets… So, I'm staying at this swanky hotel, The Pattern Boutique Hotel, right in the heart of everything. The views are insane, seriously, postcard-perfect. Spent the afternoon exploring little side streets, stumbled on some amazing street food, I should of taken more pictures! Anyway, my question is, what's the best rooftop bar with a view that isn't too touristy? I'm hoping for something with a more local vibe, you know? I wanna experience the real @Bangkok nightlife, not just another tourist trap. Anyone got recommendations?

Check out Octave Rooftop Lounge & Bar. It's got amazing views, a really cool atmosphere, and while it's not completely hidden from tourists, it definitely leans more towards a local crowd than some of the more aggressively touristy spots. Plus, their cocktails are top-notch. You'll probably still see some tourists, but it feels way less "organized tour group" than a lot of other places. Enjoy!

Sounds awesome! Thanks for the recommendation. Top-notch cocktails are a must. I appreciate the heads-up about the tourist level, definitely want to avoid the super-packed, overly-priced tourist traps. Octave Rooftop Lounge & Bar is now on my list. I'll let you know how it goes!

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
