Does anyone know of a place I can buy a second hand Apple Watch in Bangkok?

Fortune Town is solid but if you're in Wattana, you might find it easier to hit up the secondhand shops in the basement of Terminal 21 at Asok. There's a small electronics area near the food court that turns over stock quickly, and I've seen a few Series 4 models there recently for around 5,000 baht. It's a straight BTS ride from Wattana so no hassle, and the vendors are used to tourists so they speak enough English to negotiate without the markup you'd get at MBK.

check out fortune town near rama 9, it's a huge mall full of secondhand electronics. there's a few stalls on the 3rd floor that usually have a rack of apple watches, i've seen series 4 and 5 there for around 4000-6000 baht depending on condition. just make sure to haggle a bit and test the battery health before you buy, some of those watches have been sitting for a while.

also mbk center is an option but it's more touristy so prices are higher. fortune town is your best bet for a deal

I'd check out the Facebook marketplace groups for Bangkok expats and Thai sellers, there are a few like "Second Hand Electronics Bangkok" that have people selling directly. I picked up a Series 5 from a seller near Ekkamai BTS for 4,500 baht last month, battery was at 87%. Just meet at a BTS station to test it before paying, and ask for a screenshot of the battery health in the settings.

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
