Where can I get a photo album made in Bangkok?

honestly your best bet is to walk into any kodak or photohub near a big mall, like fortune town or central world, they all do custom albums but quality varies. i'd go to the photo zone at fortune town ratchada, they've printed books for me twice and the paper felt nice, not flimsy. ask for the hardcover layflat option if u want the pics to look like a real book, costs around 1500-2500 baht depending on pages. if u want something fancier with handmade covers, check out a shop called "the album factory" on sukhumvit soi 33, they do leather and fabric binding but need a few days notice. tell them u want the pics printed on matte paper, gloss can stick to the pages here with the humidity.

ngl i'd skip the shops and just use an online service tbh. like printo or photobook thailand, they deliver to a hotel or wherever ur staying. cheaper than the mall places and u can do it from ur phone while eating pad thai. just upload the pics and pick

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
