Fruits





One of the things that first-time travelers walking around Bangkok quickly notice is the large variety of fruits you can find on the streets. Thailand has many fruits that you might have never seen before. Here you have a list of our favorite 10 fruits you can easily buy in Thailand:

Dragon Fruit 

(Thai: แก้วมังกร, geaw-mong-kon)

Also known as Pitaya, the shape and colors of this fruit are quite special. It has a similar texture of a melon or a kiwifruit but its taste is a bit blander. This fruit is actually originally from Mexico and was probably introduced to Asia by Europeans whom brought it from the ‘New World’.


Fruta-del-dragón





Guava 

(Thai: ฝรั่ง, farang)

Guava is also native to Mexico and Central America although the largest producer nowadays is India. In Thailand people normally eat it with sugar. The name of this fruit in Thai, ฝรั่ง (farang), is actually the same word Thais use for western foreigners, a similar way Japanese people use Gaijin for non-Japanese. So if you are around Thai people and you hear the word farang, chances are that they are talking about you… or maybe about this fruit.


Guava-Guayabas





Langsat 

(Thai: ลองกอง, longkong)

This little fruit is native of Southern Asia and it is quite popular in Thailand. The fruit looks like a small potato and contains a few seeds. The taste is a bit similar to the grape.


LONGAN



Mango

(Thai: มะม่วง, mahmwang)

Mangoes are one of my favorite fruits. You can find them almost in every big city in the world nowadays but for sure they are not as good as in Thailand. At least in Barcelona, where I come from, mangoes are not as sweet as in Bangkok.
India is the largest producer, while Thailand is the fourth after Kenya. When walking around Bangkok you gotta try Thai mangoes and also the most popular Thai dessert: Mango Sticky Rice.

Mangosteen 

(Thai: มังคุด, mangkhud)

The purple mangosteen is a sweet and juicy fruit when ripe. One of the favorite fruits of many Thais. Thailand is the largest producer of mangosteen. The peak season to find it on Thai markets it is from May to September. Some people says that Queen Victoria of UK (1819 – 1901) offered once a big reward to anyone who could deliver it to her.

Mangostán




Rose Apple

(Thai: ชมพู่, chompu)

The Rose Apple looks like a small pear and actually tastes a bit similar. You can find it almost the whole year in Thai markets. It is native of the Malay Peninsula.










Papaya

(Thai: มะละกอ, malagoo)

Papaya is native to the tropics of the Americas and it was first cultivated in Mexico and introduced in Thailand around 200 years ago. It is easy to grow and has a very good taste so it is a wide world used fruit. When unripe, papayas are the main ingredient for a very popular Thai salad called som tam (or papaya salad).


Manzana-Rosa







Rambutan

(Thai: เงาะ, ngaw)

Rambutan, just like Dragon fruit, has a cool shape and colors. Its English name comes from the Malaysian word for hair, rambut. As long as they are bigger than a golf ball, they’ll be sweet enough to be enjoyed.


RAMBUTÁN






Santol

(Thai: กระท้อน, gratawrn)

The Santol is probably the weirdest fruit in the list and if you want to try it you’ll probably have to visit several Bangkok street markets. It’s sweet and creamy and in Thailand is often used as an ingredient in som tam.


Santol






Snake Fruit

(Thai: สละ, sala)

The Snake Fruit is another sweet little fruit you can only find in Southeast Asia. It is native to Indonesia but easily found in the streets of Bangkok. Thais normally dip it in a sauce mix of salt and sugar.

Durian


(Thai: ทุเรียน, turian)

Durian is the king of fruits in Thailand. Sometimes only appreciated for fruit specialist, Durians have become almost a religion for those who like them, either you love it or hate it. Its strange flavor and odor have made this fruit illegal in most Asian transportations systems.







Durian is a tropical fruit distinguished by its large size and spiky, hard outer shell. It has a smelly, custard-like flesh with large seeds. There are several varieties, but the most common one is Durio zibethinus. ... SUMMARY Durian is a tropical fruit that grows in countries in Southeast Asia.









The durian (/ˈdjʊəriən, ˈdʊr-, -æn/) is the fruit of several tree species belonging to the genus Durio. There are 30 recognised Durio species, at least nine of which produce edible fruit, with over 300 named varieties in Thailand and 100 in Malaysia, as of 1987. Durio zibethinus is the only species available in the international market: other species are sold in their local regions. It is native to Borneo and Sumatra.

Named in some regions as the "king of fruits", the durian is distinctive for its large size, strong odour, and thorn-covered rind. The fruit can grow as large as 30 centimetres (12 inches) long and 15 cm (6 in) in diameter, and it typically weighs 1 to 3 kilograms (2 to 7 pounds). Its shape ranges from oblong to round, the colour of its husk green to brown, and its flesh pale yellow to red, depending on the species.

Some people regard the durian as having a pleasantly sweet fragrance, whereas others find the aroma overpowering with an unpleasant odour. The smell evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust, and has been described variously as rotten onions, turpentine, and raw sewage. The persistence of its odour, which may linger for several days, has led to the fruit's banishment from certain hotels and public transportation in Southeast Asia. By contrast, the nineteenth-century British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace described its flesh as "a rich custard highly flavoured with almonds". The flesh can be consumed at various stages of ripeness, and it is used to flavour a wide variety of savoury and sweet desserts in Southeast Asian cuisines. The seeds can also be eaten when cooked.
