Som tam or som tum also known as tam bak hung is a spicy salad made from shredded unripened papaya. Som tam is derived from a traditional dish in Laos called tam mak hoong. Variations of the dish are found throughout Thailand, as well as in the West, where it is more commonly known by its Thai version and Thai name. A similar dish is also eaten in Cambodia, where it is known as bok l'hong. The Central Thai version tends to be quite mild and much sweeter, in comparison, and often contains crushed peanuts, and less likely to have padaek or brined crab. These are typically raw, so the Thai government periodically warns about hepatitis risk. Dried brine shrimp are also used in this version, commonly referred to as som tam rama. There are also versions that are made with unripened mangoes, cucumbers, carrots, and other firm vegetables or unripened fruits.
