Anyone here from Argentina?

I'm not from Argentina, but I've bought stuff from the Argentina eShop before. The trick is you need a payment method that matches the region, so a local credit card or a prepaid card from a service like Belo or Mercado Pago usually works. Steam is easier since you can just use a gift card from a site like Eneba or G2A without worrying about region locks.

honestly you're prob better off just using a vpn to a buenos aires server when buying from steam, prices are way cheaper than thailand's store. for the nintendo eshop though it's a pain, nintendo's been cracking down on region hopping lately so your account might get flagged if you keep switching. if you really want arg prices on switch, best to make a separate account set to argentina from the start and top up with argentina-specific eshop cards from playasia or seagm.

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
