Waterford Diamond Condo - Any Good?

the gym is legit one of the better ones in the area, you prob won't find a better setup in a older building like this. the pool gets kinda forgotten tho, it's smaller than it looks in photos and not super clean all the time. location wise the soi dogs around Soi 55 can be annoying at night if you're walking alone, just keep that in mind.

i've had a friend live there for a couple years and the main issue wasn't the building age itself but the management. they're kinda slow with repairs and the common area maintenance can be hit or miss. the gym is great though, no argument there, and you're like a 10 minute walk to the BTS which isn't bad. if u can get a unit on a higher floor the views are actually nice for the price

honestly the gym is pretty solid for a condo in bangkok but yeah the building itself is showing its age, the hallways can feel a bit dim and tired. location is decent tho, you're close to Thong Lo BTS if you don't mind a short walk or motorbike

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
