vendors selling dishes from virtually every corner of Thailand and beyond. Exchange cash
for a card and head for the tasty vegetarian food stall (stall C8) or the decent northeastern

Lumphini exit 3) Although the sôm đam (papaya salad), sticky rice and lâhp (spicy 'salad' of
minced meat) give the impression of a northeastern Thai-style eatery, the restaurant's
