When it comes to popular souvenirs that you must buy every time you visit Phetchaburi, you can't miss "Khao Mao Kaeng" (sweet egg custard in a clay pot). Yes, you heard it right. Otherwise, it would be like you never came here. But believe me, the shop that Madamkim will take you to today is a legend of delicious Khao Mao Kaeng in Phetchaburi because it has been open for over 50 years. And today, Madamkim will take you to explore the factory. Where is it and what is it like? Let's go see.


The "Songwan Pho Phra" clay pot dessert shop is named after its founder, Grandma Songwan. "Pho Phra" is the name of the sub-district where the factory is located, hence the shop's name "Songwan Pho Phra".



The "Songwan Phothi Pra" shop's sweets are made fresh every day. With their delicious taste and the use of palm sugar, the sweets are not overly sweet, but perfectly balanced. Upon arriving at the factory, the strong aroma of palm sugar immediately fills the air. So, without further ado, let's take a look inside the factory.


Madamkim arrived just in time to see her aunt and uncle making Foi Thong.



Jackfruit seeds, layer cake, and coconut cookies - all delicious treats.

And then the dessert we were waiting for arrived, the coconut custard. Madamkim loves the coconut custard here because it comes in many sizes. Madamkim is a small woman, so she was afraid to eat the whole tray of coconut custard for fear of gaining weight. But at the "Songwan Phothi Phra" shop, they also make small cups, as if they knew what Madamkim wanted. This way, girls can eat without worry. 5555



If you visit the factory, you will meet P'Add, who will be there to serve you and offer you snacks to try. If you like any of them, you can buy them and take them home. P'Add is very kind and will give you free samples. In addition to the snacks that Madamkim has already mentioned, there are many other snacks at the "Songwan Phothi Phra" shop waiting for you to try and buy. P'Add says, "Come on, come on, I'm waiting for you!"



Travel methods

If you are coming from Haad Chao Samran, you can drive along Sai Nai Road, where the project is located. This is the Road of Learning. As you drive from Haad Chao Samran to Bang Kaeo Subdistrict, look for the PTT gas station on your left (as shown in the picture).

The sentence is already in English and does not require translation.

After passing the gas station, turn left onto Rural Road 6022.


Note: When you turn in, you should see a police box on your right-hand side.

This is the translated text. It is simply an empty paragraph with a line break.


For friends coming from Bang Khun Thian, drive straight along the road leading to Chao Samran Beach. Once you reach Bang Kaew Subdistrict, look for a scenic viewpoint by the sea. From there, you will see a 7-Eleven store at the entrance to Rural Road 6022.



Once you enter the rural road 6022, drive straight for about 5.5 kilometers. Then look for the cream-colored temple wall (Wat Pho Phra Nai) and the sign on the electric pole. Turn right into the temple.


Upon entering the alley, drive along the temple wall until you reach a three-way intersection. Turn left at the intersection.




After turning left, drive along the temple wall for approximately 200 meters until you reach a four-way intersection. Look to your right, and you will see the sign for "Songwan Phothi Phra," your destination.

However, if any friends are not convenient to travel to the Madamkim factory, there is an alternative. In addition to the factory, the "Songwan Phothi Phra" shop also has a storefront at the Traphasin Market, which is easily accessible using Google Maps.

Upon reaching Bangkok Bank, face the entrance and proceed to withdraw money first (just kidding!). Then, turn around to see the market atmosphere as follows.


Strolling leisurely, this market holds a myriad of charms. It offers familiar childhood treats, fresh produce, dried goods, and an abundance of seafood. Following the signs for Isuzu, continue walking for approximately 300 meters.


Turn right at the intersection where you see the Kim Heng Gold Shop sign on your right and the blue sign for Trabsin Market on your left. Follow Anamnai Road.


Walk about 200 meters and look for the Suwanna Gold Shop sign. The "Songwan Phothi Phra (Market)" shop is right next to this gold shop.


At the "Songwan Pho Phra" shop in the market, you'll meet Khun Ya Songwan's daughter, the kind-hearted Pit, who welcomes customers. This shop is the only storefront for "Songwan Pho Phra" in the market. After withdrawing money from the Bangkok Bank ATM, I couldn't resist buying more sweets. 555



Before concluding this review, Madamkim would like to remind everyone that Thai desserts are second to none. Please support and patronize Thai desserts as much as possible. Because Grandma Songwuan is a person who loves making desserts. It's in her blood. Therefore, every step is meticulous. This is guaranteed by the recognition she has received from numerous awards, such as receiving the royal decoration, the National Outstanding Mother Award, and many more. Let's not let Thai desserts disappear with time. See you again when the nation needs us (needs who? Haha).
