wheatpasting/postering around bangkok?

honestly, the term you want to search for in Thai is "ทีมติดแผ่น" (team-tid-paen) or "รับติดโปสเตอร์" (rap-tid-poster). most of these crews hang around the art universities or the independent music scene, not really on google. try asking at places like Jam Cafe in Ekkamai or the record shops around Siam Square, someone there will know a guy who does it for gigs and has the technique down.

wheat paste is pretty niche here though, most street teams just use glue sticks or spray adhesive because the humidity messes with paste fast. if you want actual wheat pasting, you might need to find someone who does street art or stencil work, theyll know the proper mix to stop it sliding off in the rain.

Look for signage installers or billboard crews, they already know the physical side.

check facebook groups for bkk street art or indie music scenes, thats where the flyer crews hang out. most of those guys do paste ups for shows already.

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
