Somtam Jay Phai — Restaurant in Pattaya City

The first time was my Thai local friend took me here and told me that it’s a popular food stall with the famous Som Tum. I’ve been here many times since it. Grilled pork neck, Grilled beef, Som Tum, and Grilled chicken are my regular order. Grilled beef is good or not depending on your luck! Lol because I only feel good with the beef with fat. But the grilled chicken never disappointed me, and the good thing is that you don’t need to worry if you come alone, because you can order 1/2 or 1/4 chicken. This time I decided to try some new, so I ordered “Raw beef salad”, it’s a northeast Thai food. To be honest, it was too salty and I am sure I will not order it again! But the blue crab salad will be my next try. I remember how I was surprised when I saw many blue crabs are stacked on the plate.

This is my favorite Isaan food spot, and every time I visit Pattaya, I make sure to stop by for ส้มตำ, ต้มแซ่บกระดูกหมูอ่อน, and เสือร้องไห้. The flavors are always spot on, and the quality never disappoints. I was thrilled to learn that this place was recognized by Michelin—it’s something my friends and I have often talked about. Definitely a must-visit for anyone who loves authentic Isaan cuisine! Better to come early, so that the cooks are not tired serving...
