Stored luggage space recommendation in Bangkok?

yeah there's a few places near khao san road that do long term storage for like 100-200 baht a day depending on size. i'd recommend suitcase hostel on rambuttri alley, they have a locked room and i've left a bag there for a month before no issues. for the laptop just make sure you wrap it well and maybe get insurance if it's expensive, lockers aren't bulletproof. if you're heading south after, koh lipe is worth the boat ride but skip the full moon party crowds unless that's ur thing

try smiley hostel near silom road, they got a storage room for like 500 baht a month for a medium bag. just ask at the front desk, theyre pretty relaxed about it. for the laptop, honestly id bring it with u or leave it with a friend in bkk, the humidity in those lockers can be rough. if u want a quiet spot in thailand, chiang rai is way more chill than pai and the white temple is cool to see without the crowds

honestly if you're gonna be gone for a month plus i'd skip the daily rate lockers and look at the left luggage counters at mo chit bts or suvarnabhumi airport. they charge by the day but it's flat rate and the airport one is basically a warehouse with cctv, i've left a backpack there for three weeks paying like 300 baht a day but they do monthly rates if you ask. for the laptop specifically i'd keep it on you or ship it to a friend in australia ahead of time, lockers in bangkok get humid and i've heard of stuff growing mold in the rainy season. if you're hitting the islands try railay beach for climbing or just chilling, way less touristy than phi phi

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
