Where can I find curly hair products in Bangkok?

Check out the Watsons or Boots in Siam Square, they have a small but decent selection of curly-specific stuff from brands like SheaMoisture and Cantu. There's also a shop called Curlbox at The Commons in Thonglor that's worth a visit, they stock a lot of imported curly hair products including conditioners. If you're near CentralWorld, the Beauty Village on the 3rd floor sometimes has a few options too.

The Beauty Emporium at EmQuartier on the 6th floor has a decent import section with brands like Aunt Jackie's and Kinky-Curly that I haven't seen elsewhere in Bangkok. It's pricier than what you'd pay abroad, usually around 600-800 baht for a conditioner, but it's one of the few spots that consistently stocks them. If you're okay with online, Shopee has a few Thai sellers who bring in Cantu and SheaMoisture for about the same price with free delivery.

A little further out but worth it for the selection, there's a shop called Nadia's Beauty on Ratchada Soi 8 that's been around for years and stocks a lot of African and Caribbean brands. They've got conditioners from ORS and Dark and Lovely, usually around 350-500 baht. If you're near the Chatuchak weekend market, some of the beauty stalls in Section 3 carry mixed-texture hair products too, though you'll have to dig a bit since they're mixed in with everything else.

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
