Where to get pants fixed near soi 43?

honestly if the 43/1 spot is busy just walk over to the little fabric shop on soi 31/1, it's tucked behind the coffee stand near the pharmacy. same 50 baht hem job, the auntie there has been doing it for years and she doesn't talk your ear off. takes about 15 minutes if she's not backed up.

If you're already on Sukhumvit 43, the easiest option is the little alterations shop inside the Villa Market complex on Soi 33. It's on the second floor near the supermarket entrance, and they'll do a simple hem for 60 baht while you shop. They usually finish in under 20 minutes if it's just a straight stitch.

there's a little sewing shop on sukhumvit 43/1, like a two minute walk from the main road. it's just a lady with a machine in a shophouse, does hems for like 50 baht and she's quick. turn at the 7-eleven and it's on the left past the motorcycle parking.

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
