Are you more Team Grab Food Delivery or Team Healthland Recovery? Here’s what your Bangkok hangover may say about you.
Nobody wants it but almost everybody gets it. After a long night of drinking, many of us wake up with a dreaded hangover: dry mouth, pounding head, and not an ounce of energy in that fragile body of ours. What felt heroic the night before becomes an evil regret the morning after. Luckily, a city like Bangkok knows exactly how to repair what has come undone.
Whether it’s with extra chili in your hotpot, or with extra electrolytes in your coconut, Bangkok hangover cures range from lazy in your bed to laps in Lumpini Park. No matter which way you choose to deal with last night’s choices, here is our totally unserious analysis of what this may say about you. Stay safe out there, and drink enough water, friends.

What your Bangkok hangover cure really says about you
You slurp a hot, clear broth
This is your definition of wholesomeness. You’re a real one. Bonus points if you include fish balls or wontons.
You load up on pad kee mao (drunken noodles)
Because you really are ‘kee mao.’
You fill up with mala hot pot
Somehow, you believe that the fire from the chili will cancel out the alcohol. And garlic is anti-inflammatory, right?
You drink a lot of water
It’s boring, but it’s timeless. A bit like you, really.
You drink a big black coffee
You don’t care that the science says this is the worst thing you could do. You’re hardcore like that. More Es Yen please krub!
You chew on one of those Korean hangover jellies
You bought them on your recent beauty trip to Seoul.
You down a bottle of Pocari Sweat
You learned this from your recent eating trip to Tokyo.
You drink fresh coconut water
You know nothing beats Thailand’s natural electrolytes. Bonus points if you eat the coconut meat, too.
You take a painkiller
You’re weak.
You sleep like its hibernation season and you are a brown bear
What’s it like to not have a job?
You get a massage
You believe your bad decisions can be squeezed out of your skin.
You exercise
You probably already know this, but we all hate you. And in this heat? You probably hate yourself.
‘Hair of the Dog’ is the name of your game
We respect you, and we also fear you a little.
