My Trip

A som tam deep-dive tying together only the Isan (northeastern) standouts scattered around Sathorn, Silom, and Lumphini. Compare smoky som tam, garlic fried chicken, and tangy larb one meal at a time. A course approaching local tastes by levels of spice and fermented fish sauce (pla ra).

    Jay So Som Tamส้มตำเจ๊โส

    Restaurant · 35 min stay

    An alley old shop that made the Michelin Bib Gourmand for its charcoal-grilled 'som tam khao niao' and smoky Isan dishes. A real Isan spot where locals queue.

    Polo Fried Chickenไก่ทอดเจ๊กี (Polo Fried Chicken)

    Restaurant · 40 min stay

    A legendary spot that piles fried garlic atop crispy garlic fried chicken (gai tod). Eating it as a set with som tam and sticky rice is the standard. Good to pair with a Lumphini Park walk.

    Hai Som Tam Conventส้มตำคอนแวนต์

    Restaurant · 30 min stay

    A lunch mecca for the Silom office district. An Isan casual serving som tam, larb, and nam tok moo fast — the high ratio of local office workers vouches for the taste.
