Yadom has been cherished in Thailand for over 2,000 years, and the variety available today is as rich as ever. Walk through any Thai city and you'll spot yadom in countless shapes and styles.
While the traditional small-bottle format was once the standard, compact stick-style yadom now dominate the market — easy to slip into a pocket or bag, and always within reach when you need a refresh. Many Thais carry one wherever they go.
Today, we're highlighting eight of the most popular yadom brands available in Thailand — from timeless classics to stylish modern picks. Read on to find your favorite.
