Where to buy Desperados beer in Bangkok ?

You can try Mikkeller Bangkok on Ekkamai Soi 10/1, they rotate their tap list pretty often but I've seen Desperados in bottles there before, around 200 baht. The crowd is mostly expats and craft beer nerds so they tend to stock stuff you won't find at normal bars. For a sit-down option, Tuba on Soi Ekkamai 21 has a huge drinks menu and I remember seeing it listed there, though it might've been a seasonal thing.

honestly i'd check the bottles and cans section at Villa Market on Sukhumvit 33, they've got a surprisingly solid import selection. last time i was there i saw some desperados mixed in with the mexican beers, maybe 150 baht a can. if you're closer to Siam, the small convenience store tucked in the soi behind MBK sometimes has random euro beers too, worth a quick look

if you're up for a bit of a hunt, try the food court at centralworld on the top floor near the cinema area. they've got this little stall that does international beers and i swear i've seen desperados there before, maybe 120 baht a can. also, some of the 7-eleven locations near nana plaza have started stocking random imports lately, worth peeking in the fridge next to the singha

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
