What Amphoe office covers mid-Sukhumvit (23)?

ah sukhumvit 23 is under watthana district office, it's on sukhumvit 19 near the bts. for the yellow book just go there with your condo title deed, passport, and some witnesses who live nearby. pretty straightforward but bring copies of everything just in case

yea watthana on sukhumvit 19 is right, but heads up they moved some visa stuff to the new one-stop center at chamchuri square, so double check ur not queuing for the wrong counter. for the yellow book, the juristic letter is the big one, but also get a map of ur condo from the juristic office, they sometimes ask for it to confirm the unit location. and go early, like before 9am, the queue gets insane after 10. if u can, bring a thai friend who lives in the same building, they're way less strict about the witness thing then.

yeah watthana office is the one, sukhumvit 19 soi just past the bts station. for the yellow book tho, make sure ur condo juristic person signs off first, they need to confirm u own it and that u actually live there. some offices are picky about the witnesses, they want two thai nationals or at least people with registered addresses nearby, not just any farang friend. also bring a copy of ur lease or utility bill under ur name if u have one, helps prove residency. took me two visits cuz i forgot the juristic letter, so save urself the trip

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
