I ordered papaya salad ages back and was told basically the same thing (Vietnamese? Thai? Idk). It was unpleasant but I liked it? I guess I liked it? I ate it, tho it took a while. It was very fishy, which I dislike. But idk, it wasn’t the worst thing I’ve ever had. And now I kinda want it again.

If you had somtam it was Thai.

I’m surprised they told you that tbh, Papaya Salad aka Somtam or (what northern Thai folks call) papaya bok bok, is prob one of the most popular orders esp for tourists that come to Thailand, though icl the papaya salad in Laos, is better imo (so much spicier and flavourful, and less sweet)
