Flavoured cigarettes?

honestly just hit up any 7-Eleven on Sukhumvit and ask for the Dji Sam Soe Magnum Filter, they have a weird clove-vanilla thing going on that's not exactly flavored like fruit but it's def different from plain tobacco. if u want something sweeter look for the Gudang Garam Signature red pack, tastes kinda like cherries but not in an artificial way. the purple x are harder to find here so stock up if u see em at a bigger store like the one near Asok BTS

I think you can find some interesting imported flavored ones at the duty-free shops near airports or bigger convenience stores in central malls like Siam Paragon. The mango or berry ones pop up sometimes, but they're pricier than the local stuff.

You should check out the flavored kretek cigarettes, they're pretty common here and different from what you'd find back home. Gudang Garam and Djarum both make fruit-flavored options that are easy to find at most 7-Elevens or local shops around Sukhumvit. The Djarum Black Cappuccino has a sweet vanilla taste that's worth trying if you want a break from the grape. Just keep in mind the graphic health warnings on the packs are intense, but that's the same for all smokes here.

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
