Anyone done tongue tie surgery in Bangkok ?

yeah i know a few people who've done it. dr. boonchai at bangkok hospital is pretty well known for this, he does a lot of pediatric cases but takes adults too. the consultation is around 1500-2000 baht, and the procedure itself is usually 15-20k depending on laser vs scalpel. i'd skip bumrungrad for this one, they'll charge you double for the same thing.

honestly you might want to check out Dr. Nattapol at MedPark Hospital. he's an ENT who specializes in tethered oral tissues and does both kids and adults. his laser approach is pretty gentle, my friend had hers done there and was eating pad thai by day two. the consult was around 2k baht and the procedure ran about 16k. MedPark's not as central as Bumrungrad but the parking is way easier and the vibe is less hectic.

Dr. Somsak at Samitivej Sukhumvit does a lot of adult tongue-tie releases, not just kids. He uses a CO2 laser which means less swelling and you're back to eating soft food the same day. The consultation was about 2,500 baht and the procedure was 18,000 baht including the follow-up. I'd call ahead because his schedule fills up fast, especially on weekday mornings.

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
