Good places for clubbing in Bangkok?

honestly if you're into proper techno, try sing sing theater on sukhumvit soi 45. the name is misleading, it's a club not a theater, decor is wild with all these vintage chinese lanterns and birdcages. they play solid electronic sets and the vibe is way less touristy than rca spots. drinks are pricy though, like 400 baht for a simple mixer

another one that flies under the radar is demo on ekkamai soi 10, it's more of an open air warehouse setup with decent local djs spinning deep techno most nights. cover is usually 200-300 baht which is cheap compared to thonglor spots. just bring cash cause their card machine breaks constantly

fwiw if you're into the deeper side of things, beam is worth checking out on sukhumvit soi 23. they get decent international djs and the sound system is actually good, not just loud. cover's usually around 500 baht with a drink.

for something more underground, never grow up in ekkamai has a raw warehouse vibe and stays open til like 4am. just be warned it gets packed and sweaty real fast.

glow on sukhumvit soi 23 is worth checking if you want something a bit more warehouse style, they do rotating nights so check their ig first. drinks are pricier than mustache though, like 200 baht for a beer. also avoid khao san road for techno unless you're into bad edm remixes of pop songs

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
