How do you find hospitals and clinics in Bangkok, Thailand?

Honestly, I'd prob use it more for smaller stuff like checkups or skin stuff at clinics. For big procedures I'd still ask around or just stick with Bumrungrad or Bangkok Hospital since everyone knows them. But yeah, for getting price estimates without having to call around in Thai it'd be handy.

I'd use it more for finding smaller clinics near my place in Ekkamai rather than the big hospitals. There are decent clinics tucked away on soi 10 that do blood work and basic checkups for half what you'd pay at Sukhumvit Hospital, but you'd never know about them unless a neighbor told you. Just having a way to see which clinics are actually open on weekends would be a win.

yeah for sure, i'd use it mostly for comparing prices on stuff like dental or eye exams. saves me from having to translate my symptoms into thai over the phone lol

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
