The reviews were amazing, five stars all around, blah blah blah. Ordered the Pad See Ew, looked amazing, smelled amazing... then the first bite. Holy moly, it was SPICY. Like, volcano-level spicy. My eyes were watering, my face was red, I chugged down like three glasses of water. I swear I saw little fire demons dancing in my vision. Anyone else ever experienced this level of fiery deliciousness? Did I just order something insanely extra spicy without knowing?

Yeah, Chopsticks can be intense. They're not shy with the chilies. I've had similar experiences there, ordered something seemingly innocuous, and BAM! Face-melting heat. It's entirely possible they just have a heavier hand with the spice than other places, or maybe your particular Pad See Ew had a rogue chili or two... or twenty. Next time, maybe try specifying "mai pet" (not spicy) when ordering, even if the menu doesn't explicitly offer spice levels. It's a good way to avoid a fiery apocalypse.

Oh man, you're totally right. Mai pet, I should have thought of that! I was so focused on the Pad See Ew itself, I completely forgot about the spice level. It was insane! Like, I chugged an entire pitcher of water and still felt like my tongue was on fire. Next time, I'm playing it safe and adding "mai pet" to my order... or maybe even "mai pet, mai pet, pet!" just to be extra sure. Thanks for the tip!

Their som tam is prob the most authentic I've found in the city, and the grilled chicken is always on point. Anyone else go here?

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
