Khao Chae first originated from the Mon community. The recipe is prepared during the hot season or in summer, mainly during Songkran, to treat the monks. Later on, the recipe found its way into the royal court where the royal kitchen further developed and refined the recipe and by the end of King Rama V's reign, the royal recipe Khao Chae became popular among noblemen and commoners alike.
