Sugar - coconut and palm

[Kanga Japan]

I am trying to confirm where coconut and palm sugar in Thailand are obtained. There seems to be some confusion. My understanding is:

COCONUT SUGAR - NAM TAM MAPHRAO (น้ำตาลมะพร้าว)

Tree used: Coconut palm (Cocos nucifera)

Sugar obtained from: sap of the flower buds, or sometimes the tree itself

PALM SUGAR/COCONUT PALM SUGAR - NAM TAM PIP (น้ำตาลปี๊บ)

Tree used: Borassus (Palmyra palm) and Aranga pinnata (sugar palm)

Sugar obtained from: sap of the flower buds, or sometimes the tree itself

Can someone advise if both of these sugars are obtained from both the sap of the flower buds and the tree, or only one?

Thank you for your help.

According to Mrs. Pla shado, the sap from both the tree and the flower buds is used to make palm and coconut sugar. Additional confirmation would be appreciated however.

Also, I believe that the pronunciation of น้ำตาล is (nam dtaan or nam tan) rather than nam tam.

Dear Pla shado and Mrs. Pla shado,

Thank you for your information. I will wait to see if anyone else can confirm this.

Also, thank you for the correction. NAM TAM was a typing error.

Much appreciated.
