Which option should I choose?

Ten days is nothing in Bangkok's tech job market, especially if you're aiming for the better roles around Sukhumvit or Silom. I'd stick with the job hunt a bit longer and hit up meetups like the Bangkok Vue.js meetup or BKK.JS to network in person. A master's might help for academic or senior government positions, but most dev shops here care more about your portfolio and what you can build than the degree.

ngl 10 days is nothing in Bangkok, especially for a dev with your stack. if you go for a master's, look into something like KMUTT or Chula's CS programs they have solid industry connections and part-time options. but honestly most startups and agencies around Ekkamai or Thong Lo would rather see a strong portfolio than a degree, so maybe spend the next few weeks polishing your github and hitting up some co-working spaces like Hubba or Glowfish to network

honestly 10 days is barely scratching the surface for job hunting here. id skip the master's unless you want to pivot into academia or a specific field like AI research. most companies around here just want to see your github and what you've built with vue and laravel

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
