Som Tam Thai (ส้มตำไทย)

One of the Thai dishes that never gets old is a fine plate of freshly pounded green papaya salad.

I devoured this marvelous plate at graveyard Isaan restaurant in Silom.

A delectable order of food from Jaow restaurant in Yaowarat, Chinatown, Bangkok.

Now I do have a lot of favorite Thai dishes, but nothing pleases me more…

It doesn’t get much more classy than dining on deep fried soft shell crab stir…
