6-Month Wifi Options? Any Ideas?

You might want to check if your condo has a fiber-ready port before you commit to anything. Some buildings in the city, especially older ones near Sukhumvit, need a technician to run a new line, which can add a week to the setup time. AIS usually handles that pretty fast, but I've seen cases where the management office drags their feet on approving the install.

If you're really stuck in the meantime, grab a pocket wifi device from a shop in MBK. You can get an unlocked one for around 1,500 baht and just pop in a prepaid AIS sim with a data-only package. It's not as fast as fiber, but it'll keep you online while you wait for the installation.

honestly just go with ais. their 6 month plan is called ais fiber speedy and it's like 799 baht a month for 500mbps. you can sign up online or at any ais shop, they usually install within 48 hours. the contract is month to month after the 6 months so you're not locked in.

if you really dont want a contract there's also 3bb but their 6 month option is a bit more expensive at 999 baht. i'd stick with ais since your building is already wired for it, saves you the headache of dealing with True's nonsense. just walk into the ais shop at centralworld or siam paragon with your condo documents and theyll sort you out same day usually.

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
