Have you try BMA Junk removal?

BMA's system can be hit or miss with email. If you're in a Bangkok condo, you should talk to your juristic person office first. Most condos already have a contract with a private disposal service and they'll handle the mattress and bed frame pickup for a fee, usually around 200-400 baht per item.

For BMA directly, you actually need to use the Traffy Fondue app or LINE account. That's how most people submit requests now. Take a photo of the items in your parking area or loading bay, submit through the app with your location, and they'll schedule a pickup within a few days. Just make sure your building allows you to leave items in the common area first.

honestly just skip the BMA hassle for one mattress and bed frame. check if your condo has a "big trash day" or ask the security guard, they usually know a guy with a pickup truck who'll take it for like 300 baht total. i've done this twice in sukhumvit and it was sorted in 24 hours

if you're set on BMA, the traffy fondue app is your best bet but you gotta upload a clear photo showing the items in the designated area. they ignore vague submissions. also some districts like huai khwang have a specific LINE bot for bulk waste, check your district's page on facebook

The Traffy Fondue route works if you're persistent, but honestly for one mattress and a bed frame you might be faster just calling the BMA's 1555 hotline directly. They speak English and can open a ticket on the spot.

Another option most people don't know about is the "Krathom" community waste banks in some districts. If you're near Thong Lo or Ekkamai, check if your local district office has one. They'll take the metal bed frame for scrap and handle the mattress for a small fee, usually under 100 baht.

For the condo part, some juristic offices have a designated drop-off day once a month where they arrange bulk pickup. Ask your juristic person about that schedule before you try hauling anything yourself.

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
