Where can I see examples of AI in operation in Bangkok?

honestly the AI stuff here is way more visible in retail and logistics than people think. centralwOrld has those smart parking systems that use license plate recognition and guide u to empty spots, no ticket needed. also check out the new Siam Premium Outlets, they have automated inventory robots that roam the aisles at night

for something smaller, there's a cafe near Ari called "Kaizen" that uses a robotic arm to pour your pour-over coffee. it's not just a gimmick either, the consistency is actually better than most baristas. they also have a face recognition payment system at the counter if you link your line account

if you want the real industrial stuff, the BTS has been testing AI crowd monitoring at Siam and Asok stations. they use cameras to track density and adjust train frequency in real time. not super visible but you can see the control room screens if u peek near the station master's office

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
