Looking for the Best Suit in Bangkok?

I actually had a different experience with AMBFA. The quality is there but I found their turnaround time to be a bit longer than advertised, which is a problem if you're only in Bangkok for a week or two. For anyone visiting, Narin Tailor on Soi 22 has a quicker process and their house lining options are more interesting if you want something with personality on the inside.

honestly nice review but ambfa's pricing is a bit steep for what you get imo. if you're on a budget and still want decent quality, try Raja's Fashions down on Sukhumvit Soi 2... been around forever and they do solid work for half the price. not as fancy fabric selection but the tailoring is consistent and they know the local climate well

I've been to AMBFA myself and I'd agree the fabric selection is solid, but they're not the only good option in town. If you're around Sukhumvit, Pinky Tailor on Soi 4 has been doing it for decades and their pricing is a bit more reasonable for similar VBC cloth. Worth comparing both before you commit, especially if you're after something for the humidity here.

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
