Book NowAbout Som Tum Khun Kan
Bangkok diners head out to Bang Na for fiery, multi-year Bib Gourmand Isaan plates at neighborhood prices. The draw: crackling skin on the grilled chicken, charred honey-glazed pork neck, and unyielding mortar-pounded som tum that balances funk, tamarind, and heat. Regulars crowd the broad garden terrace at dusk when live acoustic music kicks in, while family banquets fill the air-conditioned dining halls inside. Crisp-fried whole fish arrives coated in sweet-sour lemongrass glaze, matching plates of spicy nam tok and sticky rice. Sweet tooths finish on warm coconut khanom krok fresh off the griddle or mango sticky rice ice cream.
