Life-changing. But I noticed a lot of the vendors seemed to close up shop pretty early. What's the deal with that? Is there some kind of unspoken curfew or something? Or do they just sell out that fast??

Nah, no curfew. Bangkok street food vendors are just... efficient. They make enough for the day, sell out, then go home. It's not some big mystery. Think of it like this: prime real estate, limited supplies, high demand. They don't need to stay open all night; they're making a killing. Plus, the heat! Imagine slaving away over a wok in that humidity all day, they deserve their downtime. So yeah, get there early next time if you want the best stuff.

Makes total sense. I hadn't thought about the heat and the limited supplies aspect. It's not like they can just whip up another 500 portions of Pad See Ew on demand, haha. Definitely learned something there, thanks! Guess I'll be setting an alarm next time I'm in @Bangkok.

yeah Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but if you're up for a detour, try Som Tum Nua near Siam Square. their som tam pu pla ra is insane if you like the fermented fish sauce kick. way more pungent than the On Nut spot, just less grilled chicken options
