Is Maxtech protein powder legit?

the thai fda actually has a list of approved sports nutrition products on their site, maxtech is on there. i checked a few months back when i was skeptical too. their factory is in samut prakan if you wanna get really deep into it lol

honestly i've been buying maxtech for like 2 years now from their shop near bangkok university and never had issues. the chocolate one is actually one of the few that doesn't make me feel bloated after mixing with water.

if you're worried about amino spiking i'd say check the lot number on the tub and message their line account, they usually respond within a day with the test results. most of the local gym rats i know in on nut switch to this when they're on a budget and nobody's complained about fake gains or anything

fwiw i think the vanilla is way better for mixing with smoothies but that's just me

I've been buying Maxtech for about a year from the Fitness First near Siam and it's been fine. The chocolate is solid but if you ever want to switch it up, the unsweetened unflavored one mixes better into coffee or oatmeal without clashing. No weird side effects or stalls in progress, and I've compared it against a friend's ON Gold Standard for a week just to see and honestly couldn't tell a difference in how I felt or looked.

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
