The Kap He Chom Khrueang Khao Wan is a Thai poem in the form of kap he ruea, written by King Rama II in 1800, when he was Prince Itsarasunthon. It consists of four segments, the first three of which contain praises of several savoury dishes, fruits, and desserts, while the fourth mentions annual festivities. The style of the first three sections is that of the nirat, a travel lament in which the poet makes allusions to his love and pain of parting. The poem is probably Rama II's expression of love for Princess Bunrot, his lover at the time, alluded to through the food items. It is also valuable as a contemporary source on historical Thai cuisine.
