Any musicvideographers in bangkok?

ngl the problem is a lot of people here market themselves as music video directors but really just shoot corporate stuff with a band in it. if you want someone who actually understands cuts and pacing for a song try looking at the directors repped by Studio Commuan or 185 Framerate they tend to have a more filmic approach. also worth hitting up some of the underground gigs at Jam Cafe or The Overstay to see who's shooting live sets and ask them directly most of the good ones are more active on IG than anywhere else

A few of the proper music video people here come out of the film schools at Chulalongkorn or Bangkok University. If you're on a budget, try reaching out to recent grads from the Faculty of Communication Arts at Chula, they're often hungry for the reel and won't just point a camera at a band in a warehouse. I'd also check out what's being shot at Studio 28 on Sukhumvit Soi 28, a lot of the better local directors rent space there and you can spot their style.

honestly check out the folks at WTF Collective or some of the indie labels like Smallroom. they usually have videographers on call and you can see their work before committing. also try scrolling thru facebook groups like Bangkok Music Scene, people post looking for crew all the time and youll see who's legit

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
