Anyway, I was thinking about the word “ทอง /tong/” that many Thai desserts consist of the word ทอง ‘tong‘ which means gold and the Thais believe that gold, which symbolizes fame and wealth, will bring good luck to them. A friend of mine is getting married in two months so I will get to eat many Tong – Thai desserts because in Thai weddings there are nine auspicious Thai desserts included in Khan Maak ceremony.
