Yum. Nobody needs to promote it in our village cause that's we eat. Along with gaeng naw mai (bamboo shoot curry) all of which are acquired tastes I suppose, but delicious after you learn to love them. Nam prik taa daeng, nam pik nam pu, nam pik nam pak, nam pik maeng ta, nam pik plaa, nam pik tua naw, nam pik ong. In markets nam pik is arrayed like an ice cream store, yum, yum, you're making me hungry. In Bangkok, at least downtown, nam pik does not seem too easy to get, certainly not at Emporium or Paragon.

My wife is a master with the chili paste, and I find it a great bachelor condiment that can easily be added to just about anything I make that is then eaten over the sink. But having spent far too much time in agricultural areas of Thailand, I highly doubt claims of this or any other food item in Thailand being "chemcial" free or organic. Thai farmers are addicted to cheap biocides to protect their crops from pests and disease. We usually have several varieties of nam phrik around the house.
