Shampoo massage un Bangkok?

honestly just walk into any half-decent salon in a mall and ask for "shampoo service" or "hair spa" - they all have those sinks. I usually go to the place on the 3rd floor of Siam Paragon near the food court, it's called Hair Elements or something like that. costs around 350-500 baht depending on how fancy you want it, they'll do the neck and shoulder stuff too

Look for a shop called "Tao's Hair" near Thong Lo BTS, they specialise in this. You want the "shampoo and scalp treatment" on the menu, it's around 400 baht and takes about 45 minutes. They do the whole thing with the head cradle sink and a proper massage of your neck and shoulders too.

You can try a place like Happy Hair or one of the bigger chains like V Spa in Siam Square, they do the full head soak and scalp massage thing. Pretty much any decent Thai hair salon in the malls will have it if you ask for it.

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
