Thonburi ER Wait Times?

honestly if ur aunt is already admitted and you're just visiting, you won't be sitting in the ER waiting room. just head straight to her ward. the ER wait times are only for people coming in through the door. visiting hours are pretty chill at Thonburi, maybe grab her some nam dok mai mango not the regular one, the sweet spot is at the fruit stalls near the BTS Wongwian Yai exit

You're fine since she's already admitted. Just go straight to the inpatient building, it's the one behind the main entrance with the small coffee shop on the ground floor. The visiting hours are 10am to 8pm and they're pretty relaxed about it. The mango sticky rice will make her day, just make sure you get it fresh that morning from the vendors near Wongwian Yai BTS.

imo the other comments are right, you wont be in the ER at all since she's admitted. but if you do end up needing to find something, the hospital has a free shuttle between buildings, just flag it down at the main entrance. also, the mango sticky rice vendors near Wongwian Yai are open till like 2pm so dont stress if you're running late

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
