Seriously, like a mini-city of groceries. I spent ages just wandering around, completely overwhelmed by the sheer selection of weird and wonderful Thai snacks. I bought enough durian chips to feed a small army, and some...interesting...looking noodles. My question is: Does anyone know the secret to finding the really good, hidden local treats in these massive supermarkets? Like, the stuff the locals actually buy and aren't just tourist traps? I feel like I only scratched the surface. I should of taken more pictures...

Look for the stuff near the expiration date. Often, they'll heavily discount items nearing their sell-by date. That's where you find the real deals and sometimes unexpectedly delicious things the locals are grabbing up. Plus, you can help reduce food waste! Win-win. Also, pay attention to what's in the refrigerated sections, the ready-to-eat meals and local brands there are usually fantastic and far less touristy than the packaged snacks.

That's some solid advice! I hadn't thought about the near-expiration stuff, that's a smart way to save money and maybe discover some hidden culinary treasures. I'll definitely be checking out those refrigerated sections too; I always gravitate towards the obvious tourist stuff, so that's a good reminder to branch out. Thanks!

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
