Thai Names for Common Street Fruits

Naming Thai fruits

Thailand's markets overflow with fruit, and naming them in Thai makes ordering a joy. This short teaches favourites like ma-muuang (มะม่วง) mango and dtaeng moh (แตงโม) watermelon, plus banana, coconut, pineapple, durian, papaya, guava and mangosteen.

These are the must-try street fruits you will see on carts all over Phuket, freshly cut and ready to eat. Say the name and point, and the vendor knows exactly what you want to eat.

Fruit vocabulary is fun to learn because you can taste your progress. This short Thai reel runs through the common street fruits so your next market snack comes with the right Thai name. It is delicious homework.
