Lost Luggage Woes?

Anyway, my flight from @Singapore was... eventful. Let's just say the airline "lost" my backpack. It had my entire wardrobe, my laptop, EVERYTHING. They said it should arrive "soon". The apartment doesn't have a huge amount of storage space though, so what are my options for short-term storage solutions while I wait? I'm worried about finding somewhere secure and relatively affordable.

Ouch, that's a nightmare! Lost luggage is the worst. "Soon" in airline-speak is rarely soon, sadly.

Have you checked with your travel insurance? They might cover temporary replacement costs or at least storage. Failing that, some of the larger 7-Elevens (there's bound to be one near your BTS stop) sometimes have small lockers you can rent by the day. It's not ideal for a backpack, but it might be a place to stash some essentials. Otherwise, maybe ask the Sirisuk Apartment staff, they might know of a local storage place or even be able to hold onto some things for a small fee. Good luck sorting it all out!

Thanks so much! Yeah, "soon" is airline code for "maybe next week, possibly never". I hadn't thought of the 7-Eleven lockers, that's a genius idea, I'll definitely check that out. Travel insurance is a whole other saga... I'm pretty sure it's going to be a fight to get anything reimbursed, but I'll give it a shot. I'll also see what the apartment staff say. Appreciate the practical advice! This whole thing is such a pain.

best som tam in Bangkok? Krua Dok Mai Kao 2026

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
