Anyone know what the protocol is like? I've heard stories... whispers of intense security checks, even for appointments. Is it really that strict, or are those just tall tales spun by bored diplomats? I'm already nervous about navigating Bangkok traffic

Yeah, the Nigerian Embassy in @Bangkok is... thorough. Don't let the stories scare you, but prepare for a wait and a pretty intense security check. Think airport-level, maybe a little less, but still, be prepared to have your bag thoroughly searched and your ID checked multiple times. It's not unusual for embassies in big cities like Bangkok. Just arrive early to give yourself plenty of buffer time for the security. And honestly? The Bangkok traffic is way more of a nightmare than the embassy security. Good luck with that, but focus on that embassy visit... you'll be fine!

Wow, thanks for the heads-up! Airport-level security is definitely something to keep in mind. I was picturing something...less intense. Appreciate the tip about the Bangkok traffic too, I'll factor that into my planning. Good to know it's not just me overthinking this whole embassy visit thing.

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
