Phan (tray) Phan (tray) Phan (, ) is an artistically decorated tray with pedestal. It is common in Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos. A phan is normally round and comes in different sizes. The usual measures range between a diameter of 20 cm to about 50 cm. It is more or less deep. Phans are usually made of metal such as copper, silver, brass, or steel. Nowadays aluminum or gilded plastic is generally used, which makes the phan lighter. This is convenient, for sometimes they have to be carried for a long time. The phan trays are traditionally very important in Thai culture.
