Tuktuk app in bangkok?

theres this app called "muvmi" that does electric tuk tuks but its really only around sukhumvit and silom areas. coverage is pretty limited compared to grab. honestly for the price difference i think youre better off just using the regular taxi option in grab and paying the 20 baht extra for the "add priority" thing if you're in a hurry. tuk tuks are fun for the novelty but theyre not really faster in traffic and you'll breathe in more fumes

honestly just use grab or bolt and select the "tuk tuk" option when you book. it's not a separate app but most drivers will take the job if they're nearby. the meter taxis in grab are usually cheaper though, like 40-60 baht for short trips vs 80-100 for a tuk tuk

if you really want a dedicated tuk tuk app, there's one called "tuk tuk bangkok" but i tried it once and the drivers never showed. grab is way more reliable for getting someone within 5 mins

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
