Papaya is one of my favorite thai dish that I usually order from a Thai Restaruant. I love it spicy and with peanuts. I also make it homemade with carrots or papaya and I love it! It’s delicious and it smells so good! I recommend this thai dish to everyone! I’m probably going to get some later on today.

This recipe looks fantastic! I haven’t tried Som Tum but I’ve tried something like it and it was delicious. This looks like a pretty easy recipe to follow as well–I look forward to making it for myself and roommates sometime this week! Thanks again.

Thanks for putting this recipe on the site! Som Tum is my favourite Thai dish. I’m hoping that I can find some ripe papaya here in the UK.

Last time I went to Thailand; on my first night I went to a food court with my Thai friend and he ordered some Som Tum for us. I was crying they put so much chili in it, but I had to finish the whole lot. Ped Ped!

Dan,
yes it does. I think I will make for myself and Steve soon too. We’ve been talking about it but one thing that I’m afraid of is hopefully I will find papaya. If not I might use carrot…but still taste not gonna be the same.
