Anybody know of a good men's stylist in Thailand or Bangkok?

Try going to Siam Square soi 2 and look for a shop called Gin & Tonic. The owner, Pete, used to do personal styling for GQ Thailand before opening his own place. He'll do a full wardrobe audit with you if you book ahead, and he's honest about what works for your body type rather than just pushing trends. His rate is around 1500 baht for an hour consult, which is reasonable for Bangkok.

ngl those are solid recs already but if you want a different vibe check out a guy named Arm at The Vintage Strategy near Ari BTS. he's less of a classic stylist and more of a personal shopper who sources vintage and deadstock pieces from the weekend markets like Chatuchak and Sapan Khwai. his thing is making you look unique without spending designer prices, think 500-800 baht per piece. he'll take you around if you book a half day with him, just slide into his DMs on IG at thevintagestrategy_bkk. fair warning tho his style leans a bit retro so if you want clean minimalist looks maybe stick with the other recs

There's a guy named Golf who runs a small studio called Tailor of Men near Thong Lo BTS, exit 3. He's less about telling you what to buy and more about teaching you how to build a capsule wardrobe from what you already own, which might be what you need if you're starting from scratch. His English is solid and he charges around 2000 baht for a 90 minute session, but he'll give you a list of specific shops and markets in Bangkok to hit up afterward. Book a few days ahead through his Line account, it's the same name as the studio.

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
