Any girl in Bangkok want to be travel buddy for a week ?

mate honestly i'd skip the tourist spots and hit up river city on si phraya road, they've got rotating gallery shows that actually change weekly unlike bacc. for music try the basement at singha beer house on thong lor, they do killer live bands thursday to sunday and the sound system is solid. just a heads up tho most thai women here are wary of randoms from reddit, might have better luck at actual openings or gigs

check out the jam at studio lam on sukhumvit 26, they do live jazz and experimental stuff most nights. if u want art the bangkok art and culture centre is fine but honestly the warehouse 30 creative space off charoen krung has way more character. just be aware thai girls might not reply to this kind of post, it's not really a thing here. safe travels

kinda wild how many replies are warning you off when the real issue is just format. if you actually want to meet people into art here, the bangkok art biennale satellite shows are scattered all over and the crowds at those are super social. the one at river city has a rooftop bar where people hang after. for music try the jazz republic on sukhumvit soi 16, it's underground and the musicians actually talk to you between sets. way easier to make connections face to face than through a post like this

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
