Krua Pha Daeng Rim Nam

Roi Et, Thailand

A legendary riverside restaurant run by the same family for four generations, famous for their som tam made with over 20 varieties of local vegetables.

About this place

Located on the banks of the Chi River, this family-run establishment serves the most extensive som tam menu in Isaan. The secret is their grandmother's recipe using palm sugar aged in bamboo tubes. Visit during late afternoon to enjoy the sunset view and ask for their special 'som tam boo' made with fermented crab - it's not on the menu but locals know to request it.
