Best sim for 3 months stay?

honestly the 7-11 tourist sims are fine but for 3 months you're better off getting a postpaid plan from AIS or TrueMove. walk into any AIS shop at a mall like CentralWorld or Siam Paragon, bring your passport, and they'll set you up with a prepaid sim that you can just keep topping up. the 399 baht monthly plan gives you like 20GB on TrueMove and it rolls over if you dont use it all. AIS has slightly better coverage in the BTS tunnels imo but True's been solid for me even out in Nonthaburi

just grab an ais tourist sim from 7-11 when you land, 300 baht for 30 days with 15gb then top up at any 7-11 for another month. if you want esim, dtac has a 90-day plan on their website for like 900 baht, works fine for grab and browsing. honestly ais has the best coverage in bts tunnels and upcountry if you travel, but dtac's fine for central bangkok. both let you top up via their apps if you run out mid-month

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
