Although it originates from the north-east of Thailand, som tum can easily be found all over Bangkok. Street food vendors who serve the salad can usually be found near other food stalls selling grilled pork and glutinous rice because it is the perfect accompaniment. Served as an appetiser, this light, refreshing salad will whet your appetite for the meal ahead.
