The Ban Ko Rian community is located in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya District, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province. It is an island in the middle of the Chao Phraya River, with the Ko Rian Canal separating the community into two sides. It covers an area of approximately 5.12 square kilometers and 3,200 rai. It is an old community whose way of life is closely connected to the Chao Phraya River. Some of the people in the Ban Ko Rian community make Thai desserts, which are famous for their deliciousness and inexpensive prices, especially Thai desserts in the Thong family, such as Thong Yip, Thong Yod, Foi Thong, Med Khanun, and Khanom Mor Kaeng. In addition to making desserts for merit-making occasions, the villagers also make them to order from vendors who take them to sell at various markets in the area. If anyone sails through the Chao Phraya River in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province in the afternoon, they will see a traveling boat selling goods in the river. That is Pa Mali Thammakaya, a native of Ko Rian who has been selling goods in the Chao Phraya River for over 30 years and is well-known among sailors traveling in that area. Pa Mali’s traveling boat sells a variety of desserts, drinks, and the best-selling items that sailors love are fried meatballs and popcorn. Her customers are boatmen passing through this area, be it sand boats or cargo boats. This peddling boat is the only boat still trading in the Chao Phraya River in this area. Aunt Mali said she doesn't have any plans to quit anytime soon. She's doing it until her body can't take it anymore.
