The story
Tucked into a night market in Tambon Nong Tamlueng, สายไหมโบราณ is a throwback candy stall that has quietly earned a 4.5-star rating. Creator BANKII, on a street-food crawl, highlighted its "honey-silk texture" — a traditional Thai cotton candy that is "light, not too sweet." It’s a rare find in the modern snack landscape, served fresh at the edge of Soi Pan Thong Ton Son School.
The real draw is the creative fillings. Beyond the classic plain version, BANKII sampled stuffed options like grape, strawberry, and a mixed-grain variety. Each adds a burst of flavor or crunch to the airy floss, making the experience more than just sugar on a stick. For a casual evening stroll, this spot delivers a nostalgic bite with a contemporary twist.

สายไหมไส้องุ่น
50 baht. The grape filling is wrapped in this light honey silk. The grape is seedless. The combination of the light, honey-scented silk and the fresh grape is delicious — they balance each other well.

80 baht. The strawberry filling is wrapped in the same light honey silk. It's very light and the honey fragrance pairs well with the strawberry. A great contrast.
สายไหมไส้ธัญพืช
The original healthy filling with mixed grains — cashews, black sesame, white sesame, and beans. It's a healthy option.
