Where can I buy a Sony FDR-X3000 in Bangkok?

Fortune Town's camera floor is your best bet for an older model like that, but you could also try the camera shops in Pantip Plaza. A few of the smaller dealers on the 2nd floor keep discontinued stock and might have one tucked away. For the specific waterproof housing, I'd check online shops like Lazada or Shopee since most physical stores won't carry it anymore.

if you're willing to hit up a few places, MBK center has a couple of shops on the 4th floor that deal with older action cams. i'd check out Photo Studio and Big Camera there, they sometimes have stock they never bothered to clear out. for accessories, Fotofile on Pan Road by Silom has a decent selection of mounts and cases that work across models, just not sure if they have the specific waterproof housing for the X3000. also worth checking the Sony store at Siam Paragon but honestly they only keep current models on display

honestly you're gonna have a tough time finding that model new since it's been discontinued for a while. your best bet is Fortune Town on the MRT, 3rd floor has a bunch of camera shops that stock older gear. i saw some FDR series stuff at Zoom Camera there a few months back, might be worth calling them first to save the trip. accessories like the waterproof housing are even harder to find tho, you might have to order those online

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
