桑通的故事源自东南亚流传的《五十本生经》，这是一部用巴利文写成、在东南亚编集的佛教故事集。19世纪初，泰国曼谷王朝的拉玛二世国王亲自把它改写成舞剧剧本《桑通》，从此成为泰国古典文学的名篇。

The story of Sangthong comes from the Fifty Jataka Tales, a collection of Buddhist stories written in Pali and compiled in Southeast Asia. In the early nineteenth century, King Rama II of Thailand rewrote it himself as the dance drama Sang Thong, and it became a classic of Thai literature.

《桑通》的选段常被收进泰国学校的文学课本，至今仍在泰国传统舞剧中上演。故事里那只金色的海螺，也成了泰国儿童绘本、动画和影视剧里经常出现的形象。

Episodes of Sang Thong are often included in Thai school literature textbooks, and the story is still performed in traditional Thai dance drama. The golden conch shell from the story is a familiar image in Thai picture books, animations and television dramas.
