Roti sai mai (Thai: โรตีสายไหม, pronounced [rōːtīː sǎːj mǎj]; "sai mai"; lit.'silk rope'),[1] also known as roti-wrapped candy floss or Ayutthaya's cotton candy, is a Southeast Asian dessert from Thailand. Roti sai mai is an Indian Muslim-influenced dessert served by wrapping cotton candy in sweet roti.

The rolling floss or cotton candy is thin, silky strings of spun sugar, found in a variety of hues. The roti (flatbread) is very thin and made from white or colored flour; green flour colored using pandan leaves. Sesame is often sprinkled on the top.
