Khao Khuap, Khao Kriap Wow or Khao Phong is a local sweet of the olden times. It is mentioned in a Lanna Story of Nang Uthra who was deceived by her step mother who pretended to be ill and placed Khao Khuap sheets under her mattress so that when she made the slightest move it would produce a crackling sound as if her bones were out of place. (Rattana Phromphichai, 1999, p. 809) |
