dumbest post yet.....what is the best toilet paper here? (yes, I use the butt blaster, save your hate :P )
Every once in a while I get something that might pass as decent, but I can neve… Yeah I know, dumb post, but I always screw it up. Yes, I use the butt gun, religiously, but in combo with toilet paper.
Every once in a while I get something that might pass as decent, but I can never remember which one. that have the most confusing labels like 2x and "extra" with some crap written in Thai.
Inevitability I will get some brand I think is thicker, but it is just more per roll (hence the 2x label). I would like something thicker and soft, not 2x more per roll.
I can't think of the brands off the top of my head, maybe Scott is the big one, but most all suck here. Is there something I should be looking for?
fwiw the ones at Makro in the bulk packs are actually decent for the price. The brand is called M-Pak, blue packaging, 3-ply. Not luxury soft but way better than the stuff that feels like tracing paper. I grab a 24-pack for like 250 baht and it lasts forever
Yeah the labels are a mess here. Look for the ones that say "3 ply" or "3 ชั้น" on the package, that's usually the soft stuff. The Cellox brand in the purple bag is pretty good, I've been using that for a while and it doesn't feel like sandpaper.
Scott makes a decent one called Scott Extra Soft, it's in a green package. You can find it at Big C or Lotus, the 3-ply stuff is actually pretty good and doesn't disintegrate on you.

best som tam in Bangkok? Krua Dok Mai Kao 2026
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
