As it turns out, wearing gold doesn’t seem to be enough to flaunt a luxury lifestyle.
For foodies and bon vivants, edible gold is what you need to be after. A few bakeries and eateries have started to offer their products bejewelled with edible gold leaf, upping the ante on what would otherwise already be considered an excellent, heart-warming treat. Nevertheless, it’s a transformation that takes you from swanky to swankiest.
For those who are looking for the next best luxury bites to enjoy, be sure to indulge in these three gold-adorned foods you can get in Bangkok. Scroll down to see and add to your must-try list.

KARRAT
The KARRAT Choux Donut has an undeniable appeal to it, considering that it’s covered and cloaked in a glorious blanket of 24K gold.
Claiming to be the most expensive doughnut in town (THB 3,900 per box), the KARRAT Choux Donut is a choux à la crème (cream puff or profiterole) filled with Madagascar vanilla-spiked sweet cream. For show-stopping touches, the doughnut gets a luxe coating of Cristal Champagne glaze made with Cristal Champagne (2012) and is bejewelled with edible 24K gold leaf throughout.
