About Nam prik chilli jam

Nam prik chilli jam is worth adding because it feels like something you actually noticed while travelling through Thailand, rather than a generic souvenir. The best version is usually the sealed jar, tin or packet from a normal supermarket, spice stall or food hall, not the most expensive tourist version. I would look for it in a proper local supermarket, covered market, deli, pharmacy, gift shop or small producer rather than leaving it until the departure gate. Back in the UK, it is worth checking specialist shops first because they often stock a better version than a broad marketplace listing. The ideal version is modestly priced, not too bulky, and good enough that you would buy it again even without the holiday memory.
