Good podologist in Bangkok?

for a proper foot doc, try dr. nopadon at bamrasnaradura hospital in nonthaburi. he's a real podiatrist, not just a general ortho, and takes time to explain stuff. about 800-1000 baht for a consult with insurance, walk-in might be a bit more. also heard good things about the foot clinic at bhumibol adulyadej hospital if you're closer to central bangkok

foot at silom soi 3 has a podiatrist who does house calls too, which is handy if you're stuck in a condo. she's thai but speaks english fine, 2000 baht for a home visit. i'd go there over bnh just because it's less hassle with parking and waiting

if you're in the sukhumvit area, dr. thiti at samitivej sukumvit has a sports medicine clinic that handles a lot of foot stuff too. not a dedicated podiatrist but he's dealt with plantar fasciitis and ankle issues for years. consult runs around 1500-2000 baht there, a bit pricier but the english is solid and they'll do imaging same day if needed

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
