Fruitylicious1 says... Hi Graham I think your thai papaya is afflicted by the papaya leaf curl virus as shown by the curled leaves in the picture transferred by the white fly insect. Controlling the whitefly population will lessen the infection. Mix a squirt of dish washing liquid and the juice of one fresh lemon to a gallon of water and spray the whole plant especially the undersides. If the symptom is not improving you have to incinerate your sick papaya to avoid spreading it to your other plants.
