Where to buy protein powder?

if you're near phrom phong, check out the fitness first gym at emquartier - they have a small shop inside that sells to members and non-members. prices are reasonable and they carry myprotein stuff. otherwise the supplement shop on soi 8 off sukhumvit road has been there forever, it's tucked between a laundromat and a 7-eleven, easy to miss but they know their stock

if you're on sukhumvit, check out fitness first or the vitamin shops in emquartier or terminal 21. there's also a place called supplement world near phrom phong that has decent prices, just a bit tucked away in a soi off soi 31. i usually grab mine at the big c on sukhumvit 33, they have a solid selection of brands like optimum nutrition and myprotein for around 800-1200 baht a tub

the fitness 7 stores scattered around sukhumvit are my go-to tbh, there's one near thong lo bts that stocks a lot of thai brands like thai sport and super pro which are under 600 baht for a kilo bag. worth checking out if you're on a budget, they're usually open til late too

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
