Malai Coffee House, Malaysia Hotel

What it does: Nam liab moo sub (stir-fried pili nut with minced pork), yam pu dong (pickled crab spicy salad), ped palo (five-spice duck), stir-fried vegetables like morning glory or kale with moo krob (crispy pork belly), along with colored boiled rice. 

Those still mourning the demise of old-school dining landmark the Rex Hotel, at the top of Thonglor, are best advised to head to the forver-'70s Malaysia Hotel. Here, the Rex kitchen team whips up all the old favorites, including the addictive nam liab moo sub and tender ped palo. It’s open 24/7, meaning it's perfect for a boozy midnight bite, walk of shame meal or day-after hangover cure. 

54 Soi Ngam Duplee, Rama 4 Rd., 02-679-7127. Open 24 hours

What it does: Affordable Japanese food and massive jugs of beer

The many branches of this Japanese izakaya stay open until something ridiculous like 3am (the Thonglor branch is open 24 hours with a karaoke room), making it the perfect destination after a night out. While prices are very affordable, the food may not be the best Japanese you’ve ever had... but after a night out, who cares? With a menu so extensive, ranging from yakitori to sushi to hotpot to takoyaki, there’s pretty much everything you could need for that hangover-prevention meal—not to mention their signature 5-liter jugs of beer. Plus, there are so many branches scattered around the city that you’re bound to be close to one no matter which club you’re stumbling out of.

Branches include: K Village, PS Tower Asoke, Nihonmura Thonglor, Esplanade, Surawong Road. Open daily 5pm-3am

What it does: None-too-oily street food classics

Little more than cluster of tables down a dank alley in the foothills of State Tower, this Upper Silom street-food establishment stays open till the ungodly hour of 3am. The overdressed tourist runoff from Sky Bar do sometimes find their way here, but mostly you’re huddled around worn-out locals seeking sustenance in this relatively nightlife-free stretch of Bangrak-Charoenkrung. Order a Singha with some khao tom, pad pak boong fai daeng (stir-fried morning glory), hoi lai pad nam prik pao (spicy basil clams) and gaeng karee gai (yellow chicken curry)—or basically anything off the well-pawed menu—and you’re in for a full-flavored treat.

Silom Rd. (opposite State Tower). Open daily 5:30pm-3am

Chicken noodles stall on Sukhumvit Soi 11

What it does: Honest-to-god chicken noodles

After a night of alcohol-consuming, I like to comfort my stomach with a hot soup to stave off a sticky hangover. This is one very basic stall, but the food is really amazing. I’d say this is my favorite place to eat after a night out, as I seem to end up here almost every time. Amazing. Failing that, it's straight to 7-Eleven for their prawn dumpling soup.

What it does: Home-style Korean food 

I don’t usually eat after a night out, but I always get Korean food the next day. This small restaurant on Thonglor serves comfort food in a very homey setting. Cheaper than most Korean restaurants, the food is prepared by the owner’s mom herself. The spicy soft tofu soup is an amazing hangover cure—make sure you try it with some delicious kimbab and you‘ll forget you had too many drinks the night before. The meal also comes with tiny side dishes that are so tasty, and the super-friendly staff will keep refilling them until you tell them enough is enough.

Fifty Fifth Plaza, Thonglor Soi 2, 02-714-7730. Open daily 11am-9pm

7-Eleven or McDonald's

I usually want to crawl straight into bed after a big night out but if I’m still awake I'll crave something hot and salty. The easiest answer is heading to my nearest 7/Eleven and getting an instant dumpling soup. It's full of MSG but totally is my favorite. If I’m not that fussy, I'll grab a pack of tom yum instant noodles. My ultimate guilty pleasure, though, is ordering McDonald's fries. Their delivery service is 24 hours, which is the best thing in the world.

7-Eleven and McDonald's everywhere

Namaste India

What it does: Northern Indian food 

I really don’t eat after a big night out, but I do eat the next day. In fact, eating is pretty much all I do the next day. This cheap, touristy Indian place opposite the Ibis hotel has me carb-tastically covered in a salty, spicy whirlwind of competitively-priced curried goodness. The chicken curry is so tasty you want to suck it up with a straw; the buttery garlic naan so loaded with flavor it sends out a shower of sweet little garlic shards with every rip. Hangover food perfection—all enjoyed from the comfort of my tikka-stained sofa thanks to their delivery service.  

2/47 Soi Sri Bumpbhen, 061-762-7290. Open daily 11am-10pm

Took Lae Dee

What it does: Pad krapao kai khai dao (Thai basil chicken and rice with fried egg) and a whole lot more

If you’re a true Bangkokian, you have eaten here. As the name of the restaurant states: it’s cheap, it's good. Two of my favorite things. Open 24 hours, Took Lae Dee does the best 4am pad kra pao around. After dancing all night, this is the only place my friends and I can think of that will satisfy our needs. Others feel the same, too. Our best nights have ended up here along with a couple dozen other drunken strangers. The chicken is soft, cooked to perfection—to my 4am state of mind, at least—and to top it off, the egg is runny, but not too runny, and ties the chicken in with the rice. 

Locations include: Sukhumvit Soi 16, Ei8ht Thonglor, Patpong Soi 2. Open 24 hours

Moo ping stall in front of Nunglen and Escobar

I hardly binge drink these days, nor do I regularly join the Ekkamai pretty faces who head out of DND after the shutters go down at 3am. (Give me a wild night out on Khaosan or a peaceful drink at Teens of Thailand any day). But once in a while, I feel the need to reunite with mainstream civilization. If I’m not too desperate and instead walk into the closest 7-Eleven, this moo ping stall in front of the clubs where the dull, 30-something crowds hang out is a true Bangkok street food haven. The secret is in the sauce.
