Where to buy Zojirushi rice cooker?

if you're near phra khanong, there's a tiny japanese surplus shop on sukhumvit 71 called "nichi nichi" that sometimes has zojirushi units. they bring in overstock from japan, so models rotate and you never know what you'll find. last time i was there they had a couple of the neuro fuzzy ones for like 1800 baht, no box but looked unused. also worth checking central embassy's japanese floor, they keep them by the tea section not the kitchen aisle

I've seen them at the HomePro in The Mall Thapra, the branch near the old BTS Wongwian Yai extension. They keep Zojirushi on the bottom shelf of the Japanese appliance aisle, near the water purifiers. If you're willing to order online, Lazada has an official Zojirushi storefront now, and delivery is usually two days within Bangkok.

theres a shop called yamashita at fortune town, ground floor near the food court. they stock zojirushi and other japanese brands, prices are pretty close to japan retail. i got my induction model there a couple years back and it's still going strong. if they dont have what you want on display just ask, they can order from their catalog

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
