Aghosthunter 19:30, 27 July 2007 (UTC) Please do not redirect to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Som_Tum Tam mak hung is a term generally known to the country of Laos. It is a special dish that combines similar ingredients of that som tum but tam mak hung in laos is known to use padaek as it's main ingredient. An ingredient which som tum does not speak of.[reply]

Is it okay if I add bok l'hong page to a see also list of tam mak hung? Prahok is also used in this but only in an extracted form. If not, well hey at least I tried. Trilinguist 20:03, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please go ahead and add bok l'hong page to a see also list of tam mak hung. Aghosthunter 17:23, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Som Tam and Tam Mak Hoong

[edit]

To say that som tam does not use padaek has obviously never had the dish as it is eaten in Isan. In Isan, not only is it called by the same name as in Lao, it has ALL the same ingredients, including padaek. The somtam eaten in the West is usually the variation catered to Central Thai tastes, but it is understood that som tam is a dish of Isan and Laos, not to mention the som tam page makes reference to tam mak hoong as a Lao dish. To have both seems quite useless. Nintala (talk) 04:44, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

=========================
[edit]

Tam mak hung is uniquely a Lao word. The people living as Isan outside of Laos are they themselves Lao. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aghosthunter (talkcontribs) 00:45, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
