Errands App?

SheepIt is the most popular one here, you'll see their riders with the bright green uniforms everywhere. They handle personal shopping and pickups pretty reliably, just be clear about what you need and where to get it. For smaller or more specific tasks you could also try asking around in the Bangkok Expats Facebook group, people there often recommend individual runners they've used.

Grab is worth checking if you already have the app for rides or food. They have a "GrabExpress" option that lets you send a driver to pick up and deliver almost anything, you just put in the pickup and dropoff addresses and they handle it. For something more complex like a fetish shop run where you might need someone to actually go inside and browse, I'd try TaskRabbit's Bangkok section or the freelance section on Kaidee.

honeslty if you want something specific like a fetish shop run, try posting on the Bangkok Community page on facebook. people are super responsive there and you can negotiate directly, no middleman taking a cut

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
