Can someone recommend a cheap self storage place in Bangkok?

if you're not in a rush, try the storage places in the old town area near khao san, some of the guesthouses there rent out unused basement space for like 400-600 baht a month, just ask at the front desk. they're not fancy but they're dry and locked. also check facebook marketplace, people rent out their spare condo storage rooms there for cheap

check out the self storage places around udom suk or on nut. they tend to be cheaper than the ones in central areas. i've seen lockers for around 600-800 baht a month near bts on nut if you look for the smaller operators not the big chains. the one on sukhumvit 77/1 has a few sizes under 1000

tbh the ones near the industrial areas off rama 2 are way cheaper, saw a 4sqm room for 700 a month there

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
