A Thai version is called miang kam (or other assorted spellings). It's
often shrimp, tiny diced lime (with the rind still on), toasted coconut,
roasted peanuts, chiles, and something else I'm forgetting. You put a bit
of each on your piece of lettuce (traditionally it's some kind of
leaf--betel leaf? and sometimes you'll find spinach in place of that), add a
bit of sauce, roll and eat. It's bite-sized, too. I much prefer miang kam
to any other country's version.
