The effect on my intestinal tract shows as much differentiation as having molten bismuth poured on my skin, compared to molten lead. In my case Nam Prik Pao is not even very spicy. About like a stronger black pepper, but not with the bite. The wife and kids use it to make a really nice seafood curry. As the OP said there are so many kinds. If you can eat mustard you could eat my Nam Prik anyway. 😋 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it's the heat that denatures them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try Colemans English Mustard - readily available here and has a decent bit of bite... but if thats not enough bite, you may need to go more specialised.

Coleman's English mustard seems to be a vinegar base. It's OK, but lacks the bite of Masterfoods Hot English Mustard. The strange thing is, the Masterfoods product in Australia is hot enough to crisp my nose hair. The same product when I buy it in Thailand has no bite at all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Thai Airways) Not absolutely sure about the UK , but every summer we often travel to Greece and to the US, we stay for a month or so, and the wife brings all sort of chili pastes, oyster sauces etc. Especially in Greece were there are not many asean markets. We pack it well . in our checked in luggage. We never had an issue, Just don't carry it in the plane, Check it in. Never had a problem, and I am talking dozens of times.

HauptmannUK Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) When my wife was setting up a restaurant about seven or so years ago I remember us both flying to UK on Emirates BC with Skywards Gold and we had the best part of 100kg checked luggage most of which was Thai foodstuffs of every type you can imagine. Probably illegal but my wife is not one to pay heed to the law. We struggled to move it. Many times travelled with combined 70kg. Was only ever stopped once - I was alone and had few kilogram dried fish and was waved through. Edited March 14 by HauptmannUK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are now only addressing the question because you realise you didn't before and now only making suppositions. He will never go away. That is Ricky in a nutshell, that always see an opportunity for a keyboard fight. And yes, fully agree. Very irritating. Regarding your nam prik, from what I can see you can bring it in. if it will be placed in your carry-on or checked in is all about the limits, weight and size.

Keeps Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 How can a topic swerve so off piste? Yes, you can take it back. I do 3 times a year and much worse from a pungency point of view. I've been pulled by customs (got one of them faces) and no problems. Triple bag it and tuck it away in your suitcase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samtam Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 When is the OP travelling? (See below). Taking it out of Thailand in hand luggage would be the problem, if over 100ml per item. Quote What are the liquid restrictions at the UK airport? The government confirmed in December 2022 that airports will have until June 2024 to upgrade their screening equipment and processes, meaning the 100ml liquid rule would be changed to two litres. In addition, the requirement to remove laptops from hand luggage would also be scrapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally, a sensible and correct answer. We always take some with us, no problem. And I think most posters here don't know what nam prik is. Endless varieties and whoever was calling it chili oil is just plain wrong. Nam prik is eaten practically as a dip with vegetables. And for those saying "you can buy it in the UK". First you don't know where in the UK he is going, and second he wants to take a variety of different types. Imagine a poster in the UK asking if he can bring fresh gourmet sausages in to Thailand and people saying "you can buy sausages here". Or someone wanting to bring back speciality cheeses, why bother you can buy cheese here. And only on AN can a simple question degenerate into bickering about nothing, so ridiculous. To the OP, it's not a problem, put it in your checked baggage. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are multiple iterations of Nam Phrik - which come as a sauce, a paste or just Oil and contain various different ingredients… All interpretations are correct because Nam Phrik is not specific to type… (although commingle a sauce because of what it’s mixed with “, but the base ingredients is commonly chilli oil). …. it’s just like ‘Thai Curry’ could mean many different types of curry not just one type. Nam Phrik Ong, Nam Phrik Pla, Nam Phrik Kapi, Nam Mun Phrik, Nam Phrik Pao etc etc…. Edited March 15 by richard_smith237 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancelot01 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 23 hours ago, Lacessit said: Of all the countries in the world, Australia is probably the strictest when it comes to importation of foodstuffs, and the fines can be eye-watering. I am wondering why the OP would not simply buy nam prik in the UK, with such a polyglot nation it should be available. Chilli is chilli, it's not as if there is any subtlety to it. It can be bought in specialty stores and some supermarkets in UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is usually a condiment with fish sauce, chili, garlic or shallots. Prik kaeng is a paste. I think customs only classify as either solid or liquid (liquid includes gels). So I think that it will definitely be classified as a liquid if it is a paste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
