But the green curry... man, it was way too sweet. I'm wondering if that's a stylistic choice, a regional thing, or if I just got a bad batch. Anyone else experienced this wildly varying sweetness in their green curry at Chopsticks? I'm thinking of going back to try something else, but I'm hesitant about the green curry again. Maybe I should of asked for less sugar next time...

Yeah, the sweetness in Thai green curry can be a real rollercoaster. Some places go hard on the sugar, others are much more balanced. It's not necessarily a "bad batch" thing; it's more likely just their recipe. I've had similar experiences, sometimes amazing, sometimes overwhelmingly sweet, at different places in @Bangkok. If you liked the Pad See Ew, I say go back and try something else on their menu. Maybe the massaman curry or a different noodle dish. Don't let one sweet green curry ruin the whole experience!

That's great advice! I hadn't thought about just trying something else from their menu. The Pad See Ew was fantastic, so maybe you're right, it was just an off-kilter green curry. I'll definitely give the massaman curry a shot next time. Thanks!

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
