Do you know any good dermatologist for a mole checking ?

If you're in west Bangkok, Thonburi Hospital has a solid dermatology department and they do mole mapping. Dr. Waraporn there is quite experienced with suspicious lesions and they have a dermoscope. Getting there isn't too bad if you're near the BTS, it's off Charan Sanitwong Road just past the Wongwian Yai area. They do online booking through their app which saves you the wait.

tbh if you're in a hurry for a mole check, you could try Samitivej Thonburi. Their dermatology clinic does same-day appointments sometimes if you call early. Dr. Kwanjai there is pretty no-nonsense and will tell you straight if something needs a biopsy. It's on Charan Sanitwong Road too but closer to the Taling Chan side, parking is decent during weekdays

honestly for a mole check in west Bangkok I'd hit up Bangkok Skin & Laser at Central Pinklao. Dr. Pornchai there is super thorough and they use dermoscopy which is standard for checking moles. It's right off the Pinklao-Nakhon Chaisri road so easy access if you're coming from that side. Appointments are a must though walk-ins can be a nightmare on weekends.

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
