[2025 Bangkok Restaurant] Travel Guide for Som Tam Nua (Updated May)

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.

On the top floor of Central Ladprao mall, there's a restaurant specializing in affordable, fast Thai cuisine. If you're in a hurry, this place is highly recommended as the dishes are served quickly! The mango salad is tangy and spicy, perfect for stimulating your appetite. However, the shredded green mango salad is extremely spicy, so be cautious if you can't handle spicy food. The side dishes include long beans, cherry tomatoes, peanuts, and shredded green mango, which is delightfully sour and flavorful. The beef steak is tender and fresh, and the price is very reasonable—definitely worth a try! The fried corn is incredibly sweet, while the fried chicken is perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside. The fried egg is beautifully cooked, though slightly oily. The fried spring rolls are crispy, with a filling of bean sprouts and plenty of onions, giving them a unique taste. 📍 Somtam Nua 57/2 Witthayu Rd, Khwaeng Lumphini, Khet Pathum Wan, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon

#2月好去地方2025 Very cheap and delicious Som Tam dishes. There were a lot of people, but you only had to wait for about ten minutes to get a seat. The cold green papaya salad is the signature dish, and there are various flavors. The food is delicious and cheap, so it is worth a visit. Address: 392, 12-14 Rama I Rd, Khwaeng Pathum Wan, Pathum Wan, Bangkok 10330 Thailand #ThailandTravel #Bangkok

#wheretogo This is the place I always go back whenever I travel to Bangkok! I love love love their papaya salad, it’s refreshing and appetising with the forever hot weather in Bangkok. The papaya salad is fresh and crunchy, sour and spicy and hits the spot! Another of my favourite is definitely their fried chicken wings! It’s well marinated with their secret recipe and I couldn’t find this taste elsewhere! The chicken wings are fried to perfection and pair well with their dipping sauce ! please have a try at Somtam Nua whenever you are in Siam Area! #timetotravel #bangkok #foodie
