Does anyone know the Thai script for the vegetable called PAK PED, which is used in GAENG KHAE? The flower heads look like jewels, I understand. I am trying to research its English name.

Thanks for your help.

Does it look like this?

Seems to be this one: ผักเผ็ด (phak phet), a local name for: ผักคราดหัวแหวน (phak khrat hua waen)

Latin names: Acmella oleracea / Spilanthes oleracea.

Source for kaeng khae mentioning acmella oleracea:

Ingredient no. 12 on this recipe for kaeng khae kai:

Dear KhunBENQ,

Yes! That is it. Thank you so much for finding all that information for me, including the scientific names. It is the 'toothache plant'.

Much appreciated.
