- While papaya salad is a signature dish in Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam, it’s the Thai version that is the most famous. However, food historians believe that this dish originated in Laos.
This is because papaya salad is especially popular in Thailand’s northeastern region of Isaan, which shares a border with Laos. What’s more, papaya and chili have been key ingredients in Laotian cuisine since the 1800s. Although the Thai green papaya salad we all know and love is a little different from the papaya salad, they serve in Laos, which often includes green eggplant and fermented fish paste.
In the Lao-Isaan dialect, Som Tum salad was originally called tum bak hoong. The ‘bak hoong’ part translates to mean ‘papaya’ while ‘tam’ means ‘pounded’. Since making green papaya salad involves a lot of pestle and mortar action, it makes sense that it was once known as ‘pounded papaya’.
The name change came as a result of mass migration from the Isaan region to Bangkok. Migrant workers shared their love of the papaya salad they grew up eating, with both the recipe and the name changing over time for Som Tum to become the street market staple it is today. Although, the ‘pounded’ part of the dish’s name has remained, as Som Tum translates as ‘pounded sour.’
When you think of Thai food, Som Tum is one of the first dishes that comes to mind. As such, it comes as a real surprise to learn that this dish didn’t even originate in Thailand, but rather in Thailand’s neighboring country of Laos!
Of course, this doesn’t make Som Tum any less of a star in Thai cuisine, where they’ve perfected the art of getting that balance of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy just right. - Jak na to + styl

I Come from thailand
thai papaya salad it a pow for all
next sir Lankan recipes pls
Sab Lay mak which is Isan for very delicious. When I can't be in Thailand I go to YT. Best and most memorable Som Tum was in Nang Khai along the Mekong River on a little floating restaurant below the board walk. Ped Mak here. I like eating Thai style. Eating spicy actually keeps me cool on a hot day over there. Now I know why Thai people eat with their mouth open. It's spicy.
So nice
I am living in Thailand and I just showed this to my Thai wife she said ohh very small amount not half fill the stomach ha ha.
Can you post the recipe to make papaya sauce?
Missing ingredient fermented fish sauce bagaong
That’s Laos style your talking about
This is Thai style
This is not the original one from esan. This recipe call "Tam thai" because there is no pla-ra in that so it is not "Tam mua" as he claim at all.
you can have the plaaraa one, it smells like a rubbish bin with it added. lol
yeahh that's why i said it's TAM THAI which is absolutely different from the original one of Esan. Coz if it's orginal one from Esan not be like in your video
snake day? whaaat?!?! the two of u have such thick accents!
So what? I’m sure they would want to not have any accents, but it is what it is
What‘s the difference between Lao Papaya Salad and Thai Papaya Salad???
Hi Van, pretty sure the Lao version is like Isaan with the fermented fish sauce,
I can not fine the recipe.
Lol he sais 'Som Tam Thai' and then right after that: 'right from the North of Thailand'. Mate, you couldn't be more wrong. The reason it's called Som Tam Thai is to differentate THIS type of Som Tam FROM the one in the North called Som Tam Pla ra (Pala or padek)!!!
Not too heavy lol
Hmmmm. It said Isaan style. So where is that pickled smelly crab or the fish. Ok some dried shrimps. But bring out the Guns. Add smelly fish or smelly crab. Then it is ISAAN
please sub Indonesia ny 😄😄😄
That restaurant used a cheap Fish Sauce.
2008MrsKim dang, that fish sauce is really really cheap lol, too salty and almost all artificial flavor. I wonder why big restaurant like that use such product?!?!
it's cheap...Lol'
Ivy Hays
Tipparos is a famous and reliable brand. Do you have any evidences to back up your claim about artificial flavor?
2008MrsKim Wow you must be non Thai, because this brand: Tiparos (Tipalot) is considered the best in North Thailand. Certainly not cheap nor bland, you have no idea what you're talking about. 😕
Ivy Hays you are correct. It is a cheap brand. It may be what is popular in Thailand, but it’s a dime a dozen here in the U.S. it’s WAY to salty with salt rock still clinking around at the bottom of the plastic bottle. If you want the best of the best, you get the 3 crab brand. It comes in a glass bottle. Flavor is not to salty or to light. Just perfect. 👌
How long the owner of the restaurant lives in Australia? very difficult to understand his English and his accent.
Jeanny Season it's not that difficult to understand. Get over it!
So what? I want to hear you speak his language and hear how pathetic you sound
Sorry .. that’s too commercialize
Too much talking both of you
Jesus it was painfull listening chef trying to speak English.
It's just as painful for them listening to you speak English, and Thai.
All done wrong. Everything has to be sliced fresh including the papaya
Very bad English!!
Sai Bupphathep bitch that my bad English
Better than no English at all..even your English wasn't good..
I want to hear you speak his language and hear how pathetic you sound
