any job opportunities in bangkok?just want to do anything for few months before I decide for serious job

if u have a degree, a lot of language schools in siam or thong lo will hire u for part-time english tutoring without asking too many questions. pay is usually 400-600 baht an hour cash. also try the coworking spaces in ekkamai, sometimes cafes put up flyers for short-term gigs like data entry or delivery work

another option is checking coworking spaces like hubba or the hq in thong lo, they often have notice boards with short term gigs from startups needing extra hands for a few weeks. if you're into fitness, some of the muay thai gyms around on nut or pra kanong will take foreigners as helpers for bag holding or class assistance, usually 200-300 baht per session and you get to train for free.

you could try doing delivery for lineman instead of grab, theyre less strict about documents and pay a bit better per order. i did it for a bit around thong lo and was making 400-600 a night just doing dinner and late night munchies

another easy one is being a "shopping assistant" for chinese tourists at siam paragon or central world, they pay like 800 baht for a few hours just to help them buy luxury stuff and carry bags. post on the "bangkok tourism helpers" facebook group, theyre always looking for english speakers

for online stuff, rev.com pays for transcription and you can do it from any cafe in ari or ekkamai, just need decent wifi. i made about 8k baht a week doing 15 hours, boring but zero effort once you get the hang of it

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
