AIS kiosks anywhere?

the myAIS app is honestly the easiest option if you've got a data connection, no fee and it's instant. for cash, the 7-Eleven machines are everywhere but sometimes they're out of order, so I'd keep a Telewiz as backup. Telewiz stores near Asoke or Siam Paragon usually don't charge extra in my experience, but the smaller ones in malls might try to tack on 10 baht.

yeah telewiz stores can do it but they might charge a small fee, like 10-20 baht depending on the location. if u want to avoid that just use the 7-Eleven machines or top up through the myAIS app if u have 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
