Baan Isaan Mueang Yot

Ask most Thais what their favourite food is and there's a good chance they will point towards Isaan cuisine. Fare from the northeast of the country is famed for its simplicity and dishes such a som tam (papaya salad) and larb (a minced meat salad with mint and lime) are treasured around the country. This humble eatery in the heart of Bangkok's commercial area doesn't look like much, but it is regarded by locals as one of the top places in the city for a northeastern fix.
