Khanom khuai ling (Thai: ขนมควยลิง, pronounced [kʰā.nǒm kʰūaj līŋ]; is a local dessert from Chanthaburi in eastern Thailand. It has been made for more than 100 years.
This type of dessert is made from glutinous rice flour, molded into a long shape, mixed with sugar, black sesame seeds and sprinkled with shredded coconut.
Khanom khuai ling is produced and sold only in the area of Mueang Chanthaburi District, especially at the Chumchon Khanom Plaek (ชุมชนขนมแปลก; lit: peculiar dessert community), an ancient community that is a center of many local foods and rare Thai desserts, located along the Khlong Nong Bua near Chanthaburi River, about 10 km (6 mi) from the heart of the district.
