Lost in MaxValu

I've heard these supermarkets are HUGE in Thailand. My question is: what's the weirdest thing you've ever seen stocked on the shelves of a MaxValu? I'm genuinely curious because I'm picturing a bizarre fusion of Western and Thai groceries...and I'm hoping for some good stories. Seriously, I've seen photos of some unusual snacks online, but I want the local experience! I am prepared for anything...hopefully not durian-flavored toothpaste though. That would be a nightmare.

One time, I found a whole section dedicated to bird's nest soup ingredients. Not just the nests themselves, but like, everything you'd need to prepare it, specialized scissors, little porcelain bowls, even instructional pamphlets. It was...intense. Another time, they had these weirdly colorful, neon-green drinks that tasted vaguely of...soap? I still have no idea what they were. But yeah, MaxValu is a trip. Prepare yourself.

Wow, bird's nest soup ingredients?! That's...a level of dedication I wasn't expecting. Specialized scissors? Seriously? I thought I was just lost, but now I'm intrigued. Those neon green drinks sound terrifying. Soap-flavored beverages are a new low, even for a supermarket. I'm already bracing myself for the weirdness. Thanks for the heads-up!

best som tam in Bangkok? Krua Dok Mai Kao 2026

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
