Hello, does anyone know where to buy Mancera fragrances in Bangkok?

if you're up for a bit of a hunt, central embassy has a small niche counter on the 3rd floor that carries mancera sometimes, not always tho. best to call ahead tbh. also, there's a guy on shopee who sells legit testers for way less, just check reviews carefully before buying

I've seen Mancera at Siam Paragon's fragrance section, ground floor near the cosmetics. They have a decent selection but prices are a bit higher than what you'd pay online. If you're near Thong Lo, there's a niche perfume shop called Parfumerie on Soi 55 that sometimes carries Mancera too, worth checking their stock first.

The fragrance section at CentralWorld on the 4th floor has Mancera, they carry a few of the popular ones like Cedrat Boise and Red Tobacco. The staff there know their stuff so you can actually test them properly. Another option is Sephora at The EmQuartier, they've started stocking niche brands recently and I spotted Mancera there last month.

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
