Pharmacies That are open 24/7?

yeah the 24hr pharmacy scene is decent but depends on what u need. the one at victory monument near the big circle is a boots that stays open all night, its right by the bts exit 2. theyre not as expensive as fascino and accept card anytime which is rare. also if ur down in rattanakosin theres a place on maharat road near wat pho that keeps late hours, not strictly 24hrs but often open til like 4am, the old lady there knows her stuff and will haggle on prices if u buy multiple things

if you're near huai khwang theres a 24hr pharmacy on pracharat bamphen road just past the swissotel, its a small place but they stock proper stuff like antibiotics and strong painkillers that some chains wont sell without a script. prices are reasonable too, i paid 120 baht for a pack of ibuprofen there last month which is way cheaper than the tourist area ones. the staff are thai only mostly but pointing at what u need works fine

there's a 24hr pharmacy in chinatown on yaowarat road near the old market, its a fascino but way less crowded than the sukhumvit ones. open all night and the staff are used to dealing with tourists buying random stuff at weird hours. they take card too which is nice. just be careful walking around that area late, its pretty dead after midnight

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
