Sa-Wa-Di-Ka! If you ask, “How many Doi Sutheps are there?” — there’s only one! 😆 But if you ask, “How many Som Tam styles?” The answer is: plenty! Pick your favorite and spice it up your way. 🌶️✨ Get to know “Som Tam,” Thailand’s iconic spicy salad, through 5 popular styles, each with its own unique flavors and charm. 🥜 “Som Tam Thai” — the perfect balance Crunchy green papaya tossed with dried shrimp and roasted peanuts, with a sweet-and-sour flavor that’s easy to love. 🦀 “Som Tam Pu Pla Ra” — bold, funky, and full of flavor Known for the distinctive aroma of fermented fish sauce (pla ra) and salted crab, this version packs an intense, savory-spicy punch. 🍜 “Tam Sua” — extra satisfying with rice noodles Adding khanom chin (Thai fermented rice noodles) takes the flavors to another level, soaking up all that rich, spicy pla ra dressing in every bite. 🌽 “Som Tam Khao Phot” — fresh and refreshing Sweet, crunchy corn replaces green papaya, paired with creamy salted egg for a delicious combination of flavors and textures. 🍎 “Som Tam Phonlamai” — fruity, sweet, and tangy A colorful mix of seasonal fresh fruits tossed in a spicy Som Tam-style dressing. Fresh, vibrant, and a great pick for fruit lovers. The world of Thai Som Tam has so many more delicious styles to explore! 🌶️ So, which Som Tam are you craving tonight? Drop your favorite in the comments! #AmazingThailand #ThailandTravel #LISA #PapayaSalad #SomTam

Thailand celebrates Mother’s Day every year on 12 August, the birthday of the late Queen Sirikit. One of the most recognisable traditions of Thai Mother’s Day is the giving of jasmine flowers. The flowers symbolise purity, unconditional love and maternal devotion. 💙🇹🇭
