Where find premium brand shirts, any good outlet I should go to?

depends what you mean by premium honestly. like western luxury brands or asian tailoring? if you want japanese shirts specifically, go to the isetan department store at centralworld, their men's floor has a section with imported labels you won't find at the outlet malls. prices are retail but they do seasonal sales in june and december where stuff drops 40-50%

eh, everyone's gonna send u to outlets but the real move is the concourse level at MBK. there's a row of shops near the food court that do factory overruns from thai brands like ari and sretsis, those are the same factories that make shirts for isetan and some european houses. quality's identical, you're just missing the tag. biggest downside is you gotta know what you're looking at, the labels are all blanked out or cut off so it's a trust thing. bring a thai friend if you can

for actual premium brands at outlet prices, try the robinson department store at central ladprao, they have a clearance section on the 4th floor that gets overstock from their main stores every month. last week i saw hugo boss shirts for 900 baht and brooks brothers for 1200, just check the sizes carefully because the popular ones go fast. the bts to ha yeak lat phrao is only 20 mins from the city center and the mall is right there

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
