Any way to get a form for work that I got sick in bkk and couldn't take my flight? I didn't get one at the hospital on koh Tao but urgently need one. Anybody got an idea?

yeah that other comment is right about clinics but if u need something more official for work, go to bnh hospital on soi 7 sukhumvit. their travel clinic does proper documentation with stamps and all that. costs more like 1000-1500 baht but it'll look legit to any employer. the smaller clinics sometimes print it on receipt paper which might raise eyebrows

Try Bumrungrad's international clinic on Sukhumvit 3. Their documentation is bilingual and they can issue a certificate for the dates you were actually ill on Koh Tao if you explain the situation clearly. You'll pay around 2,000 baht but it comes on proper letterhead with a doctor's license number. Just bring your Koh Tao hospital receipt if you still have it, it helps the doctor write something accurate.

honestly just hit up any clinic in Bangkok, they'll write a "fit to fly" or sick cert for like 500 baht. just tell them when u were sick and they backdate it no questions asked. try a smaller place near sukhumvit, they're chill about it

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
