How to Say Fruit Ripeness Stages in Thai

From unripe to rotten, in Thai

Buying fruit at a Thai market is easier when you can describe how ripe it is. This short teaches the stages: dip (ดิบ) unripe, haam (ห่าม) semi-ripe, suk (สุก) ripe, ngom (ง่อม) overripe and nao (เน่า) rotten.

With tropical fruit everywhere in Phuket, these words help you pick exactly what you want, whether it is a firm green mango or a perfectly soft one. Vendors will happily point you to the right piece once you can say the stage.

It is a small, practical set that makes market trips smoother. This short Thai reel walks through the ripeness words so you always go home with fruit at just the right stage. It is a tasty little set to learn.
