Flies back clutching a piece of bread from Thailand (6)

I believe the answer is:

satang

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

'a piece of bread from thailand' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'flies back clutching' is the wordplay.
'flies' becomes 'satan' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'back' says to take the final letters (I've seen 'back of' mean this).
The final letter of 'clutching' is 'g'.
'satan'+'g'='SATANG'

Can you help me to learn more?

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

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
