Shopping ?

if you're looking for legit yeezys and don't mind a bit of a hunt, check out the secondhand shops around fortune town. there's a spot called the sneaker page on the third floor that usually has a few pairs in stock. they're more of a consignment thing so prices vary but i've seen 350s go for around 6,000 baht if you're lucky

Sneaker District at Siam Square is solid, but if you want to avoid the tourist markups, head to the W District on Thong Lo. There's a shop called Drop In that carries a rotating selection of legit Yeezys, usually 10,000 baht and up. They're strict about authentication and the owner will let you inspect the boost and stitching before you buy.

You should check out the sneaker shops at Siam Square, specifically Sneaker District or Pro Touch. They carry legit pairs but you're looking at 8,000 to 15,000 baht depending on the colorway and size. Stay away from MBK or the night markets for Yeezys, those are almost always fakes.

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
