Som Tam Nua, Bangkok

Great local restaurant for authentic Thai food. Must try their Somtam (Thai papaya salad), eaten with sticky rice. You can grab a small ball of sticky rice in your fingers, dip it into the green papaya salad dressing, and then pop it in your mouth. Spicy but taste heavenly. It is the most popular Thai salad. There is a wide selection of Thai food on the menu, such as Lemongrass pork, spicy pork liver, fried chicken wings, tomyam soup and many more. Reasonable prices. Usually very crowded, please expect a long queue. You may come during odd hours to minimize waiting time.
