History
Khanom bueang is a Thai snack from the Ayutthaya period. Because in the testimony of Khun Luang ha wat said that, In that era there was no difference between Thai Khanom bueang and Vietnamese Khanom bueang because Vietnamese Khanom bueang has not yet come to Thailand. But one of the stories appears in the book "Dhammaboodpadad" and it said that Khanom bueang came from India and Brahmanism in the Sukhothai period and so was brought to Thailand. Moreover many people have assumed that Khanom bueang cake can be related to the crepes in France.
