No Sam, not a basket for sticky rice, an etched (?), aluminum regular rice server! When you see them for sale they unfailingly have every size from ‘for two’ to ‘for twenty two’, it seems. They have two handles and a lid, with a slot for a serving spoon.
Perhaps they are not strictly for rice, but that’s all I’ve ever seen served in them. Darn it, I wish I could show you, I know you’d recognize it in a second! I’d wager you have one at your house!
Anyway, I love mine and it sees lots of use. I’m thinking of bringing one back for a friend, as I’ve been unable to locate the exact Tshirt she fancied and specifically requested.
I’ve seen similar shaped item in Indonesia, Malaysia, S’pore, but the Thai one is the prettiest by far! (If I was at home, I’d take a photo of mine!)
Oh, okay, I think I know what you mean. Something like this . Yes, they’re fairly inexpensive. But the metal (aluminum?) is soft, and you have to be careful not to damage it in transit. Buy it at the end of the trip.

Bingo! I knew you knew! And some are less thin, if you look around. Mine didn’t come with a matching rice scoop though, so cheaper still!
I like the sticky-rice baskets much better. More durable and they can be better used to store little odds and ends. But you they can always buy both.
