where to buy second hand monitors? anyone selling a monitor?

check facebook marketplace first, tons of people selling used monitors in bangkok for cheap. i usually search in the "bangkok secondhand" groups and filter by distance. also there's a shop called zeer riddim in ratchada, ground floor, they sell used office monitors from companies that upgraded, prices are fair and they test them in front of you

Fortune Town on Ratchadaphisek has a whole floor of secondhand electronics including monitors. The IT mall part is on the 2nd and 3rd floors, and you can usually haggle the price down 10-20 percent if you pay cash. If you want something cheap and don't mind old stock, walk around the back stalls near the escalators.

honestly just go to pantip plaza. the whole place is a maze of tiny stalls and they have secondhand monitors stacked everywhere. sure it's mostly laptops but theres a few shops on the 4th floor that sell used screens from office clearouts. bring cash and be ready to test

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
