Where can I get eggnog?

your best bet is probably making it yourself tbh. villa market on sukhumvit soi 33 carries eggnog mix from brands like alpro or the powder packets from usa, usually in the baking aisle near the imported stuff. the fresh stuff is almost impossible to find outside december, and even then it's like 350 baht for a tiny bottle at tops

ngl eggnog is pretty seasonal here so you wont find it most of the year. if you want it now check the foreigner sections at big c ratchadamri or foodland patpong, they sometimes have the premade cartons from australia or the uk. otherwise your best bet is like 7-11 on sukhumvit soi 11, they stock random holiday stuff around december

if u really want some, check gourmet market at emquartier or central embassy, they import stuff from the west. saw some there last december but it was like 400 baht for a small carton, not cheap. honestly most people here just make their own with the mix they sell at tops

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
