Any vintage / second hand clothes shops?

yeah the chatuchak tip is solid but if you're not here on a weekend try the union mall near chatuchak, it's open daily and the top floor has a decent vintage section. also wongwian yai has a few tucked away shops, just wander the soi near the circle. for something more curated, papa's vintage on silom soi 5 is small but well picked, prices are a bit higher tho

if you're into digging through piles rather than curated racks, try the talad rot fai night market at srinakarin. it's a bit out of the way but worth the trip, especially on a friday evening. the vintage section is huge and chaotic, lots of stalls with random 90s band tees and army surplus stuff mixed in. prices are negotiable, bring cash and patience

honestly just go to the Chatuchak weekend market if you're here on a saturday or sunday. there's a whole section near the back with vintage tees and denim, prices are decent if you haggle a bit. if you're not here on a weekend then try the treetown market near on nut bts on a weekday evening, it's smaller but has some gems. also check out the bangkok flea market at srinakarin on thursdays, it's huge and has tons of old clothes mixed in with random antiques.

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
