What's the Quantity of liquids you can carry through BKK airport ?

the 100ml is a no-go for carry-on, bkk security measures it exactly at the mouth of the bottle so they'll flag it. for check-in, put it in a ziplock bag inside a sock then wrap that in a t-shirt in the middle of your suitcase. perfume bottles are tougher than you think, and the pressure in the cargo hold is fine. if you're really worried, those bubble wrap envelopes at the post office near the airport link station at phaya thai cost like 20 baht

yeah you'll have to check that 100ml one unfortunately. bkk follows the standard rule where each container must be 100ml or less, so the 50ml is fine but the 100ml bottle won't pass hand luggage security. they're strict about it too, i've seen them toss stuff at the screening point near the domestic gates.

wrap the 100ml bottle in a plastic bag and put it in the center of your check-in bag, surrounded by clothes. perfume bottles rarely break in checked luggage if they're cushioned well, i've flown with them dozens of times from bkk without issues.

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
