The area around Rajadamnern Stadium is gaining recognition as Bangkok’s up-and-coming foodie hotspot, and Lao Dtom Lao is one of the recent openings, joining a host of other cool restaurants, bars, and cafés.

At Lao Dtom Lao, as the name suggests, you can discover Laotian cuisine that shares many similarities with Isaan food. Don't worry—it's got the same spicy kicks! You can try classics like Luang Prabang som tam, spicy beef salad with shrimp paste, and spicy noodle salad with green papaya and chicken sausage. While you're there, go a step further and get a Laotian-style hot pot, which features quality beef you can cook in a delicious broth.
