Shops to buy a portable travel humidifier?

honestly check out the MBK Center, it's like a 10 min taxi from Sathorn if traffic's okay. the 4th floor has a bunch of random electronics stalls and i've seen those mini humidifiers there for like 300-500 baht. they're the ones that plug into a usb port and sit in a water bottle. just haggle a bit if the first price seems high.

Fortune Town is your best bet for this. Take the BTS from Sathorn to Asok, then switch to the MRT for one stop to Rama 9. The whole fourth floor is electronics stalls, and you'll find those little USB humidifiers near the escalators for around 400 baht.

If you want something closer, the Robinson's at Sathorn Square usually has small travel electronics near the home section on the third floor. It's right above the BTS at Surasak station, so you can walk over without dealing with taxis.

Lots of 7-Elevens and family marts carry them, surprisingly. Otherwise, any decent department store (like Central or Robinson's) will have a whole section.

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
