Where can I buy a travel neck pillow? Staying in Watthana area.

if u wanna try somewhere a bit different, there's a street market called On Nut night market off Sukhumvit 77, not far from Watthana. they have stalls selling knockoff travel pillows for like 100 baht, nothing fancy but it works. also saw some at the Robinson's department store on Sukhumvit 71, second floor near the luggage section, proper ones around 400 baht. prob easier than hunting for a specialty shop tbh

honestly just hit up any Big C or Tesco Lotus, there's one on Sukhumvit 50 that's close to Watthana. they have basic travel pillows for like 200-300 baht near the bedding aisle.

if u want something better check the airport rail link station at Phra Khanong, there's a small shop inside that sells those inflatable ones. might be a bit more pricey but they pack down smaller. either way you'll be sorted in 20 minutes

big C is prob your quickest bet like the other person said, but if you're near Thong Lo there's a small shop called Muji at the EmQuartier that has decent neck pillows too. a bit pricier around 500 baht but theyre comfy and look nicer. if you just want something fast, grab one at 7-Eleven on Sukhumvit 71, they sometimes have inflatable ones by the counter.

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
