Could a Thai Speaker Help Me With A Question About Addresses?

Your building is actually in Bang Chak sub-district, which is under Phra Khanong district. On Lazada's dropdown, you'll often see "Bang Chak" listed as a district option because the system sometimes uses sub-district names interchangeably. Check for "Bang Chak" on the list instead of Phra Khanong.

If you still can't find it, select "Phra Khanong Nuea" or "Khlong Tan Nuea" if those appear - delivery drivers in Bangkok know the area well enough to figure it out from the full address. Just make sure your building name and soi number are clearly written in the detailed address field.

yeah you're right that phra khanong is the district but on lazada it's usually listed as พระโขนง in thai script not romanized. if you're using the thai version of the app just type พร ะโขนง or even just พระ and it should pop up. if you're on the english version they sometimes have it as "phra khanong" but i've seen it misspelled as "phrakanong" or "phra khanong" without the space so try variations.

also just a heads up your building address has แยก which means you're on a soi off sukumvit 93 so sometimes the system wants "bang chak" as the sub-district and "phra khanong" as the district. lazada's dropdown can be janky ngl. if all else fails just pick "khet phra khanong" from the list if you see it or manually type the whole address in the notes field for the driver.

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
