Good boho decor stores?

honestly skip the usual chatuchak tourist traps for boho stuff, check out the vintage shops along charoen krung near talad noi. there's a spot called wwa chooseless that's more curated but still has that boho vibe with tons of handwoven textiles and rattan pieces. prices are fair for the quality, around 500-1500 baht for smaller decor items

the thrift stores around ari are slept on for boho stuff honestly. there's a small place called pengthong on phahon yothin soi 7 that has piles of vintage linens and baskets for like 100-300 baht. also check out koh kret on a weekend, the ceramic and woven goods from the mon community there are super authentic and way cheaper than anything in the city proper

there's this hidden spot in the rattanakosin area called ba hao, it's an old shophouse turned into a curated vintage store with a lot of boho textiles and ceramic pieces from local artisans. they have these hand-painted lamps and woven wall hangings that actually feel authentic, not mass-produced. prices are a bit higher, think 1000-3000 baht, but the quality's solid. also, the weekend market at bang kra jao has some random stalls selling vintage indonesian sarongs and rattan baskets for cheap, like 200-500 baht, just gotta look past all the street food

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
