Rumors says you can sell your balls in bangkok with nice price. is that true ? where can one sell them ? (just asking for a friend)

nah that's just a traveller myth that won't die, like the one about getting a visa on arrival for 6 months. if ur friend wants quick cash there's always the soi cowboy area selling fake rolexes to tourists but that's a different kind of risky

lol i've heard that urban legend too but no, there's no actual market for that here. your friend might be confusing bangkok with some dark web stuff or a really bad joke that got passed around. if they're serious about making money, patpong night market or chattinguchak weekend market are where people actually sell things, not body parts

yeah that's one of those backpacker myths that's been floating around for years, no actual market for that here. if your friend really needs cash there's a legit plasma donation place near bts phra khanong that pays about 600-800 baht per session, totally legal and way less sketchy. just tell them to bring ID and eat a good meal beforehand

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
