The story
In the historic city of Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Roti Sai Mai Abeedeen-Pranom Sangaroon has earned a Michelin recommendation for its dedication to a single, beloved Thai street food. This unassuming stall, run by a family team, specializes in roti sai mai—a delicate, hand-pulled roti wrapped around a cloud of cotton candy-like spun sugar.
The process is a quiet art. The roti dough is stretched paper-thin, then griddled to a light, flaky finish. Inside, a generous tuft of airy, sweet sai mai (cotton candy) is rolled, creating a textural contrast of crisp, warm roti and soft, melt-in-the-mouth sugar. It is a simple, satisfying snack that has become a local landmark.
The Michelin inspectors recognized the stall’s consistency and the skill behind this classic preparation. For visitors to Ayutthaya, a stop at Roti Sai Mai Abeedeen-Pranom Sangaroon offers a taste of genuine Thai street food tradition, served with the warmth of a family-run business.
