Ban Phachi was also known for its "Phachi" Coconut Ice Cream sold by hawkers with trays walking along platforms and is normally eaten using a plastic straw. The dessert is quite famous and has been mentioned on some Thai television shows. But since the beginning of August 2018, sales ended permanently.
