When I lived in South Thailand, the making of the Nam Phrik was regarded as the special responsibility of the family grandmother who was the repository of their particular recipe. It was her duty and almost sole task to spend the early part of the day in making the nam phrik for use later that day. I don't know whether this remark is worthy of a place in the entry, but it is one of my fond memories of life there.Dawright12 (talk)08:32, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm surmising that these family recipes ofnam phrik refer more to the ones used in curries, i.e. curry pastes (colloquially callednam phrik but officiallykhrueang kaeng), and not so much thenam phrik used as a condiment as is treated here in the article. I think it would indeed be interesting to add that piece of info at theThai curry page if references can be found. -Takeaway (talk)12:01, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We have that น้ำ means "fluid" but isn't it literally just "water"?(Heroeswithmetaphors)talk04:07, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article needs a section for this badly.2607:FEA8:BFA0:BD0:7C84:C06:A3C1:2409 (talk)01:00, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Is prik nam pla similar to, or even the same as, nam phrik? When I first learned about prik nam pla, I learned that the three component words may be rearranged, and it still refers to the same thing.

There's currently a redlink toPrik nam pla onList of dips, and I was tempted to connect it directly with this page, but couldn't find any statement here that prik nam pla is indeed the same thing.

If in fact they are the same thing, could a Prik nam pla -> Nam phrik redirect be set up? If they're similar but distinct, could a sentence or two be added explaining the relationship between the two (this could go well with the request for an etymology section)?

They're entirely different things. น้ำพริกnam phrik is a compound ofnam 'water/liquid' andphrik 'chilli'. น้ำปลาพริกnam pla phrik or พริกน้ำปลาphrik nam pla, on the other hand, is a compound ofnam pla 'fish sauce' (itself a compound ofnam andpla 'fish') andphrik. One is a liquid condiment based on chilli, while the other is simply just fish sauce with chilli. --Paul_012 (talk)14:12, 25 April 2025 (UTC), 16:01, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
