Baan Somtum Sathorn — Restaurant in Si Lom Subdistrict

My husband said today, he took me to the best salad in Bangkok 😂 I thought the joke was so scary, so delicious that the couple ate all papaya, slurping the whole country 😂

The restaurant is very crowded, indigenous there, tourism has (mostly I see Korea, Japan and China), L through 12am but have to wait 10 minutes to have a table while 11h will open the door 😊 Michelin chef review is different hehe

Thai papaya salad is simply papaya, 1-2 stalks of cowpea, 2 pieces of tomatoes, mixed with shrimps, sweet and sour fish sauce ... So you can eat it once you wake up 😂😂😂 Papaya is very delicious, the crispy, cool, blended with sweet and sour fish sauce but very refreshing, salty of shrimp, spicy but very pleasant, hot weather to eat this salad, very good !!! This is a branding dish, so it is also very special that everything is made fresh, new customers come to order, including the sauce so the salad always has a fresh taste 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Recommended dishes include crispy chicken wings, soft, succulent, whole kumquat Sake 😂

There were fish cakes that looked good, but Lin didn't order. Well, the coconut cream dish is really pleasing, aromatic creamy, greasy, smells of coconut, hit the place with copra, like it very much. Longan tea is...

Ban Somtum is my all time favorite somtum (Thai Style Salad) place with fresh and clean ingredients. My all time favorite menus are Luangprabang Somtum and the Signature Fried Chicken. The level of spice for normal spicy is quite spicy. If you don’t like the burning spicy temptation, recommend to go with medium spicy first for an enjoyable level type of spicy. The plates come in small portion so you can definitely order at least 4 dishes for two people. I also ordered Lemon Grass Juice as a beverage and surprisingly it turned out better than I expected because I found it quite unique to be served with lemon grass jelly. If you like Lemon Grass, definitely check this Lemon Grass Juice menu with Jelly out. Price is in the medium range but worth it with the quality that you get. Waiters are so proactive, friendly, and happy to service you. The parking is quite limited. So during busy hours, may be difficult to find parking. The ambient of restaurant is family style and quite spacious. Definitely one of my favorite eating spot. This restaurant has different franchise around the city but not many branches. So try to search for the closest branch near you for...
