Lost my keys!

The pool Tom Yum is weirdly good there, I've had it before. Try calling the club directly and ask for the manager on duty, not the front desk. They usually have a proper lost property log that the regular staff don't bother checking. If that fails, there's a reliable locksmith on Sukhumvit 49 that does house calls for around 500 baht and they're usually there within 30 minutes.

I'd try the pool maintenance guys specifically. The 71 Sports Club has that filtration system where the drains around the deck can catch small things, and the staff who clean those filters are different from the regular cleaners. I've seen them pull out rings and keys before, they usually toss them in a bucket near the pump room. Also, if you're still there, the security booth at the parking entrance has a separate logbook the front desk doesn't touch, worth a shot before you call anyone.

dude check the spa lockers, sometimes staff toss random stuff in there thinking it belongs to a guest. the 71 club is big on that policy where they consolidate lost items at the end of shift so maybe ask the spa receptionist directly

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
