Papaya Salad, or "Som Tum," is one of Thailand's most beloved dishes, known for its vibrant, refreshing, and zesty flavors. In Thailand, there are many styles of papaya salad — from the classic Som Tum Thai with peanuts and dried shrimp, to the spicier Som Tum Poo Pla Ra made with fermented fish and crab.
At Bangkok Cafe, we proudly serve the classic Som Tum Thai style. Our papaya salad features fresh shredded green papaya, juicy tomatoes, crisp green beans, roasted peanuts, and a perfectly balanced dressing made with lime juice, fish sauce, palm sugar, and Thai chilies. We keep it authentic yet approachable for all guests!
Ingredients we use:

Fresh green papaya
Tomato
Green bean
Roasted peanut
Garlic
Thai chili
Palm sugar
Lime juice
Fish sauce
Perfect Pairings:
We recommend enjoying your papaya salad with a side of sticky rice for a true Thai experience! It also pairs wonderfully with Beef Salad (Nam Tok) or Larb (Minced Meat Salad) if you want a full, refreshing Thai meal.
