How does the apartment numbering work?

the first number is usually the building number in the land office system, not the floor or anything. so 12/250 means building 12, unit 250. the 250 is just a sequential number they assign, not 250 units inside. 90/33 is building 90, unit 33. it gets confusing because on the 9th floor you saw 12/xxx too, that's just different units in the same building. the floor number isn't in the address at all, you just have to know from the elevator.

yeah it's a thai condo thing. 12/250 means building 12 (or sometimes the moo baan/village number) and unit 250. the 90/33 is probably building 90 unit 33. the first number is always the building or project code, second is the actual unit. so 12/250 on the 12th floor and 12/something on the 9th just means they're in the same building. it's confusing at first but you get used to it

honestly the 12/250 thing is just how they do it here. the first number is the building or land plot number, not the floor. so 12/250 means building 12, unit 250. and 90/33 is building 90, unit 33. it's like a postal code for the address, not the actual apartment number. your unit number inside the building is just 250 or 33, so they might have 250 units total in the building or it's just a sequence.

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
