Tom Yam Somchai

Clear base extra hot Tom Yam soup courtesy of The Somchais. Collected this when I was working on an assignment for DHL APIS. The team was brought to a Thai restaurant in the city where they served Royal Thai tom yam. We loved it. Lucky for us, Somchai (the client manager we reported to) was around.
