SCB easy bank app down?

honestly this happens every couple months with SCB, their app updates always seem to break something. if you're near a krungsri atm you can withdraw cash with just your phone number and a one time pin from their app, no card needed. i keep a 500 baht backup in my phone case after getting stuck at a street stall in silom that only took cash

yeah it's been spotty since this morning, my girlfriend had the same issue at 7-11 on sukhumvit soi 39 around noon. seems like they had a backend update or something cause it came back for her after about 20 mins. if ur in a pinch, true wallet's been reliable and most street vendors accept promptpay via other bank apps too

ugh that sucks, SCB app is notorious for this. if you're near a 7-11 or family mart the kiosk machines let you do cash withdrawals with just your phone number and a one time code from the app, no card needed. i actually switched to using krungthai next for daily stuff cause their app rarely craps out like this, and promptpay works across all banks anyway

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
