In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the rice flour, tapioca flour, and water until smooth. Set aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, granulated sugar, and salt. If using pandan leaves, tie them into a knot and add them to the saucepan for an aromatic flavor. Stir constantly until the sugar and salt dissolve completely, about 3-5 minutes.
Gradually pour the flour mixture into the saucepan, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Reduce the heat to low and continue stirring as the mixture thickens and becomes glossy. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
Once the mixture reaches a thick custard-like consistency, remove it from the heat and discard the pandan leaves (if used).
Carefully pour the pudding into small serving bowls or ramekins. Smooth the tops with a spoon or spatula.
Allow the pudding to cool at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
Serve the Thai Coconut Pudding Custard chilled, optionally garnished with fresh fruits or a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
