Bangkok Beat Hotel Blues?

So, I'm heading to the Beat Hotel in @Bangkok next month. I've heard legends, seriously, legends, about the parties there back in the day. Apparently, it was the place to be for artists and musician… So, I'm heading to the Beat Hotel in @Bangkok next month. I've heard legends, seriously, legends, about the parties there back in the day. Apparently, it was the place to be for artists and musicians. My question is: Is there any tangible trace of that legendary vibe left? Like, are there any old photos, memorabilia, or even just a general feeling of that era still hanging around? I'm hoping to soak up some of that history, not just stay in a cool hotel. I'd hate to find out it's all been sanitized for modern tourists.

Doubt it. The Beat Hotel's heyday was decades ago. While it might claim some legacy, Bangkok's relentless redevelopment probably erased most physical traces. You'll probably find a nicely renovated hotel, not a time capsule. Maybe check online for old photos or articles; that's your best bet for getting a feel for the past. Don't expect to stumble into Jim Morrison's ghost or anything though... lol.

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
