where can i find adhesive glue in bangkok?

for foil on clothes specifically, try the fabric stalls around bobae market. they sell the heat transfer glue sheets for like 20 baht each and it works fine with a regular iron. there's also a small shop in the platinum fashion mall basement that stocks the e6000 craft glue if you want the brush-on kind

if you're near chatuchak, the weekend market has a handful of stalls selling fabric glue and foil transfer supplies in the craft section. way cheaper than the malls, just haggle a bit. otherwise any big homepro will have a spray adhesive that works on fabric too, but test it on a scrap first

You'll want to head to a hardware store like HomePro or Thai Watsadu they have a decent selection of adhesives. For fabric foil specifically, check out the craft section at Siam Square or grab some E6000 from a place like Art Supply on Charoen Krung Road. Plenty of shops around Pratunam Market also sell iron-on foil sheets and the glue that goes with them.

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
