Namtan-Pan are a type of traditional Thai dessert made with sugar, coconut milk, and pandan leaves. This stall makes them in cute shapes, such as cartoon animals, flowers, and even dragons. Namtan-Pan are typically sold at rural village fairs and Buddhist temples.

However, this street vendor in Bangkok has taken the traditional sweet-making technique on the road and now sells his creations in the capital city.
Namtan-Pan are first prepared by simmering the sugar for an hour with coconut milk and mixing it with pandan leaves or flowers to add color.
The hot sugar is then moulded into different shapes by hand within five minutes before the sugar hardens.

These candies are amazing! The sugar is so sweet and the pandan flavor is delicious. They are a unique treat!
