appreciate it
skip the convenience stores and big malls, you'll overpay. for all that stuff head to big c or lotus's, they have everything in one go and it's cheap. if you're near a tesco lotus express that works too but the big ones are better for kitchen stuff. you can also check chatuchak weekend market for the laundry basket and shoe rack, way cheaper than malls. grab a bottle of water at 7-11 for 7 baht to hold you over, the big packs are at the supermarkets
honestly just hit up a Mr. DIY or Daiso for most of this. Mr. DIY on Sukhumvit 50 has everything from trashcans to dish racks for like 50-200 baht each. Daiso at CentralWorld is good for the bathroom mat and laundry basket but it's a bit more of a trek if you're not already downtown. For the big water bottles and paper towels, grab those at Big C like the other reply said, but the home stuff is way cheaper at those two spots. I'd skip Chatuchak unless you're going on a weekend anyway, it's crowded and you'll prob spend more on transport than you save.
If you're near any local fresh market or soi (side street), check the mom-and-pop shops that sell household stuff. They often have basic plastic plates, cups, and storage bins for less than the chain stores. The ones around On Nut or Bang Sue are good examples. For the cleaning supplies and toilet paper, a small wholesaler like Sathorn Grocery or a local "khao mun gai" shop's adjacent convenience store can have better bulk prices than Big C for single items. Just bring cash, most of those places don't take cards.
best som tam in Bangkok? Krua Dok Mai Kao 2026
yeah Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but if you're up for a detour, try Som Tum Nua near Siam Square. their som tam pu pla ra is insane if you like the fermented fish sauce kick. way more pungent than the On Nut spot, just less grilled chicken options
