Isan Resturant

#holidayitinerary

Isan (Issan/Esan) restaurants are eateries that serve Northeastern Thai cuisine, famous for its spicy, sour, and grilled flavors. Typical dishes: Som Tam (Papaya Salad) – the most iconic. Laab (Spicy minced meat salad). Nam Tok (grilled meat salad). Sticky rice (Khao Niao) – always paired with meats or salads. Gai Yang (Grilled chicken). Known for bold spice levels and use of fermented fish sauce (Pla Ra), which gives an authentic rustic flavor. Often paired with beer or whisky in a casual, social setting — very popular with both locals and travelers who want authentic regional food.
