Picked up some mango sticky rice (amazing!), and noticed a whole aisle dedicated to... dried insects. Crickets, grasshoppers, the works. They looked... surprisingly appealing? I almost bought some, but chickened out. Anyone ever tried the bug snacks at Tops? Seriously curious about the taste and texture. Was it a cultural thing, some weird tourist trap, or is there some secret deliciousness I missed out on?

Haha, the bug aisle at Tops! I've seen it, it's definitely a thing. I think it's more of a novelty item for tourists, honestly. While insects are eaten in many parts of @Thailand, and some people consider them a delicacy, I doubt the average Thai shopper is stocking up on cricket powder. I've heard they're crunchy, almost like chips, but I'm not brave enough myself. Maybe next time! You should of tried it, though... sounds like you were on the verge!

Yeah, you're probably right about the tourist thing. It was weirdly prominent, right at the front! I almost bought a bag of those roasted crickets, purely out of morbid curiosity, but chickened out at the checkout. Crunchy chips, huh? Intriguing...and slightly terrifying. Maybe next time I'm in @Thailand I'll be bolder. This time I just stuck to the usual mango sticky rice. No regrets there!

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
