what's the cheapest place to shop for Girls clothes in Bangkok?

another option is Chatuchak Weekend Market if you're here on saturday or sunday. the clothes sections are huge and you can find some really unique stuff for like 150-300 baht, especially if you go deeper into the alleys away from the main walkways. for accessories the saphankwai area right next to the market has some cheap stalls too, just be ready to walk a lot and carry water

if you're already near pratunam, also check out the market stalls on soi petchburi 21, tucked behind the main streets. same kind of stuff as platinum but sometimes even cheaper if you're patient and dig through the piles. for accessories specifically, the mbmk center in pratunam has floors 2-3 full of stalls selling earrings and bags for 20-50 baht each, just bring cash and don't be afraid to haggle a little

honestly just hit up Platinum Fashion Mall near Pratunam. it's like a giant wholesale market so you can get tops for like 100-200 baht each if you buy a few, plus the accessories stalls are super cheap too

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
