4. Som Tum (Papaya Salad)

Som Tum (Papaya Salad) is a classic Thai dish that is very refreshing yet tasty. The crunchiness of the papaya with the peanuts and herbs make it very nice to eat. Its usually eaten very spicy so make sure to ask before buying it

3. Tom Kha (Coconut Soup)

Tom Kha Gai (Chicken Coconut Soup) is a very refreshing sweet and savory soup that never gets old. With lemongrass and galangal in the soup makes it a unique flavor for some.

2. Pad Thai

Pad Thai is Thailand’s national dish and its most known/popular dish. Its peanut and savory taste is why its top 5 in the list. Due to it not being number 1 is that its too overhyped and there are dishes as great as it.

1. Pad Kra Pao (Holy Basil Stirfry)

The word Pad means Stir fry and Kra Pao meaning Holy basil makes it a fitting name for this dish. With the fried egg on top this dish makes it truly one of most underrated Thai foods. Although most Thai food is good, this one takes the number 1 for me.
