Backpack dry cleaning services?

fwiw theres a decent dry cleaner on phra arthit road near the royal pavilion, like a 5 minute walk. its on the left side just past the 7-eleven, they do regular fabric backpacks no problem. bring it in with the wine stain still wet if u can, makes it way easier for them. i think it was around 150 baht when i had a similar mess with coffee

the laundry place on sukhumvit soi 4, just past the nana bts stairs, does backpacks for 80 baht. they do a pre-soak for stains too, just show them the wine spot. if that fails, the dry cleaner at the bottom of the ari hills building is more thorough but costs like 250 baht and takes two days

honestly just try one of those laundry shops on the street, theyre everywhere and way cheaper than a dry cleaner. the ones near the BTS often take backpacks no questions asked. just point at the wine stain and theyll sort it out for like 100 baht

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
