Thai people are experts in crafting delicious dessert delicacies, so when you go to the market, you’ve got to try these out!

Sweet Thai crepe
Fresh off the grill, these little crepes are filled with meringue - a thick cream made of egg whites and sugar - then topped with foy thong, which is shredded egg yolk.
Coconut rice dumplings
This dessert is both delicious and adorable. Coconut and rice flour dumplings are cooked to perfection on hot grills. You can find these throughout Thailand with a plethora of street vendors serving up this tiny dish. These are usually topped with corn, green onions, or are served plain.

A vendor making these can be found on almost every corner. It is sweet dough grilled up on a pan slathered in butter. It is filled with anything from nutella to eggs and bananas, then covered in condensed milk or chocolate.
Coconut ice cream
Another dessert you’ll find from a street vendor making rounds or at a market, this one is homemade ice cream topped with a bunch of fun things like peanuts, sweet corn and sweet syrups to drizzle on top. Usually it is served in a coconut shell that has been scraped out and the coconut flesh added to the ice cream. It is very refreshing!
