Sticky rice, spicy som tum and rave beats? Honestly, it was only a matter of time until Chiang Mai’s party scene headed this way. 828 Alleyway’s Som Tum Rave takes the flavours and flair of Isan culture and throws them straight onto the dancefloor for a night that’s one part dinner party, one part rave. Thai DJs spin the ‘spiciest’ of tunes while signature cocktails flow all night. Off the dancefloor, tables loaded with bold Northeastern flavours serve something fresh. The bar wants people to go all out with the theme too – so that means dressing in your best Isan garb or sporting a few playful accessories that fit the scene. For B499, you can tuck into three of six special Isan dishes and enjoy a complimentary cocktail. Come hungry, ready to dance and maybe keep a drink handy nearby – things are expected to get spicy.
May 23. B499 entry, includes food and a drink. 828 Alleyway. 7pm onwards
