A Taste of Thailand: My Love for Mango Sticky Rice

Mango sticky rice is one of the most popular desserts in Thailand, and from the very first time I visited Bangkok, I knew I had to try it.

I made sure that tasting mango sticky rice was on top of my food list. During my trip, I enjoyed it at a local restaurant and even bought a pack from a supermarket kiosk. Each version had its own charm, but they all shared the same irresistible combination: sweet ripe mangoes, creamy coconut milk, and perfectly cooked sticky rice. It was simple, yet absolutely unforgettable.

Since that first trip, mango sticky rice has become more than just a dessert for me; it’s a sweet reminder of Thailand. Whenever my husband visits or has a layover in Bangkok, he always makes it a point to buy mango sticky rice at the airport before flying home. It has become our little tradition.

Recently, my husband visited Bangkok again, and of course, he didn’t forget to buy mango sticky rice. But this time, it came with an extra surprise. Since it was Valentine’s Day, the store gave him a complimentary flower, a single stem of rose, along with his purchase. It was such a simple gesture, yet it made the dessert even more special and meaningful.


The price of mango sticky rice varies depending on the store, especially at the airport. Sometimes there are promos if you buy more than one box, which is perfect if you’re planning to share (or not!). Airport versions are neatly packed and travel-friendly, making them a great pasalubong or souvenir for loved ones.

I’m sharing these photos along with the price list to give you an idea of how much mango sticky rice costs at the airport. Whether you’re planning your first trip to Bangkok or just curious about food prices, I hope this gives you a helpful guide and maybe even inspires you to try this iconic Thai dessert.





If you ever find yourself in Thailand, don’t miss the chance to try mango sticky rice. It’s more than just a dessert; it’s an experience filled with sweet memories.
