Decline to eat brown bread in Thailand (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

satang

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bread in thailand' is the definition.
I know that 'thailand' relates to this answer. I also know that both the answer and definition are singular nouns

'decline to eat brown' is the wordplay.
'decline' becomes 'sag' (sag can mean to decline or droop).
'to eat' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'brown' becomes 'tan' (tan is a kind of brown).
'sag' placed around 'tan' is 'SATANG'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for satang that I've seen before include "Asian money" , "change in Thailand" , "Thai capital" , "1/100th of a baht (Thailand)" , "Thailand monetary unit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
