The rolling floss or cotton candy is thin, silky strings of spun sugar, found in a variety of hues.

The recipe was initially brought to the Ayutthaya Kingdom by Indian Muslim traders, who produced and marketed the sweet among communities.

Customers would drop a 10 baht coin through the slot, and a rotating dial would spin, cycling through the numbers 3–7.

The dough and floss candy must be consumed within a few days, or the dessert's flavour will degrade, and it will spoil not soon after.

The company Candy Crepe, founded by Jainnisa Kuvinichkul, collaborated with the National Science and Technology Development Agency of Thailand to increase the dessert's shelf-life.
