Kanom Krok is not only popular within Thailand but has also gained international fame. Thailand's Kanom Krok was ranked 4th among the best pancakes in the world in 2024 by Tasteatlas, a global food website.
Kanom Krok is one of Thailand's cultural food heritages, with its main ingredient being coconut milk derived from coconuts, offering a rich, sweet, and aromatic flavor that is unique. This makes Kanom Krok beloved by both Thais and foreigners. Aside from its distinct taste, the crispy outer layer and soft inside add even more charm to the eating experience.
Moreover, Kanom Krok reflects the abundance of quality Thai agricultural produce, such as coconuts, a versatile ingredient where every part can be used—from the coconut shell, which is crafted into various tools, to coconut water, a popular beverage. Coconut milk from the flesh is used in many Thai dishes, such as Kanom Krok, Khao Lam, and Mango Sticky Rice, all of which use coconut milk as a key ingredient.
The high ranking of Kanom Krok on the global stage also highlights the success of Thailand's soft power in promoting local food and culture internationally. This achievement is a source of pride, demonstrating the potential of Thai cuisine to gain worldwide recognition.
