A
Tida Esarn
Tida Esarn sells country-style Thai food in a decidedly urban setting. Appropriately, foreigners provide the bulk of the restaurant’s customers, but the kitchen still insists on serving full-flavoured Isan-style dishes such as súp nòr mái, a tart salad of shredded bamboo.

B
Somtam Convent (‘Hai’)
Northeastern-style Thai food is usually relegated to less-than-hygienic stalls perched by the side of the road with no menu or English-speaking staff in sight. A less intimidating introduction to the wonders of lâhp (a minced meat ‘salad’) sôm đam and other Isan delights can be had at this popular restaurant.

Jay So
This crumbling shack is living proof that, where authentic Thai food is concerned, ambience is often considered more a liability than an asset. Fittingly, Jay So has no menu as such, but a mortar and pestle and a huge grill are the telltale signs of ballistically spicy sôm đam (green papaya salad), sublime herb-stuffed grilled catfish and other Isan specialities. Look for the white, Pepsi-decorated shack about halfway down Soi Phiphat 2.
