Origin of Thai Sweets

Centuries before the founding of the first Thai kingdom of Sukhothai, sometime in the thirteenth century, Thais migrated from southern China to Southeast Asia, where they settled among inhabitants of the Dvaravati and Angkor kingdoms. They embraced the Buddhism and Hinduism taught by Indian and Ceylon priests, adapting and assimilating new religious rituals into their traditional cultural beliefs and customs.
