Where to buy AeroPress Filters in Bangkok?

honestly just hit up any Coffee Gallery or Tom n Toms Coffee near you, they usually stock aero press filters. the one at Fortune Town by MRT Rama 9 has them for like 150 baht for a pack of 100

if you're near Huai Khwang MRT there's a small coffee supply shop on Pracha Rat Bamphen Road, just past the big intersection. they sell filters and even have the metal ones if you wanna switch it up

fwiw the official AeroPress ones are fine but I'd grab the stainless mesh filter from there instead, saves you from buying paper ones again

There's also a Coffee Club at The Street Ratchada that carries them, pretty sure the stock is in the back if you ask at the counter. It's a bit of a walk from Huai Khwang but you can take the MRT to Thailand Cultural Centre.

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
