engraving tempered glass?

honestly check zeer rangsit if you're up for a bit of a drive. there's a few shops on the second floor that do custom laser engraving on glass, they're used to working with tempered stuff since a lot of people bring in phone backs and aquarium panels. one shop near the food court end quoted me 300 baht for a small logo design, but bring a reference image on your phone so they get the sun rays right. just avoid the ones that use a sandblaster, they can chip tempered glass if they're not careful

fortune town ratchada has a few laser engraving stalls in the basement level, they do glass and metal. i had a side panel done there last year, cost around 500 baht for a simple design. just bring ur panel in person so they can measure it right, and make sure they know it's tempered glass so they don't use too much heat

there's a guy in the talad rot fai srinakarin night market who does laser engraving on the spot, he sets up near the vintage car section. he's done tempered glass before for some of the modded pc cases they sell there, i saw him engrave a whole dark souls bonfire on a side panel. it's like 350-500 baht depending on complexity, just go on a friday or saturday evening when he's usually there till 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
