Any Bkk vacancies?

honestly the job market for those roles in bangkok is tough right now, especially for foreigners without work permits already sorted. your friends might have better luck hitting up the hotels directly on Sukhumvit or Silom, a lot of them hire through walk-in applications or referrals from current staff. also tell them to check the Facebook groups like "Bangkok Expats Jobs" or "Jobs in Thailand for Foreigners", I've seen way more replies there than on LinkedIn for customer service gigs. for call centers, companies like Teleperformance and Concentrix have offices here but they usually want people already in the country with a visa, so that might be the wall they're hitting.

yeah the visa thing is usually the biggest blocker tbh. tell them to look into the "Bangkok Hotel Jobs" group on fb instead, I've seen way more posts from smaller hotels there that dont use linkedin at all. also a lot of the indonesian and philippine communities in bkk have their own line groups or whatsapp chats where jobs get passed around before theyre even posted publicly, might be worth asking around in those

fwiw i'd also check the indonesian embassy's facebook page in bangkok, they sometimes post job listings for their citizens. also tell them to make sure their thai language skills are decent, even basic stuff helps a ton in those roles

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
