What accidents have happened in sukimvit now at 9:30pm local time?

saw the same thing around asok intersection heading towards phrom phong. pretty sure it was a motorbike vs taxi near soi 31, that corner is always chaotic even without accidents. if ur still stuck, the bts is still running but the station might be packed. better to walk to thong lo or grab a scooter if u can find one

yeah its bad rn, my condo overlooks sukhumvit soi 33 and i can hear sirens nonstop for the last 20 mins. the bts is still running but asok station is a nightmare, people are spilling onto the street trying to get taxis that can't move. if you're near nana or asok, honestly just walk to soi 24 and grab a beer at cheap charlies until it clears, the traffic aint moving for another hour at least

just passed through there on the bike. its a mess from asok all the way past soi 33. heard from a friend who lives near soi 31 that a taxi ran the red and clipped a motorb taxi, the passenger went flying. 5 ambulances sounds about right for how backed up the traffic is. if you're heading east, soi 35 is your best bet to cut through to phra khanong, but even that's slow right now.

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
