ยืนผลไม้ - Fruit Stands

One of my favorite things about Thailand is the fresh fruit everywhere! There are fruit stands lining almost every street but they are quite different from fruit that is common in America. Next to pineapple, cantaloupe  watermelon, mangoes, bananas and grapes there are these following fruits along side them:

Longan

Mangosteen

My favorite fruits are the longan, guava and pineapple. The pineapple here is divine!! It is much more sweet than at home in America and the longan are super yummy too! 

Our favorite fruit stand is in the middle of town and the fruit is never rotten or covered in ants like we have experienced at other stands. Here are a few quick shots of us in front of it. 

This was a different stand that we went to once and the lady was SO nice. She let us try everything and once she would have the piece of fruit on a stick she would look at us and say, "Happy Birthday!" It was so funny.

We just HAD to take a picture with her!

We love the fruit here and it is SO cheap! I can usually buy a kilo of fruit for less than two dollars, sometimes less than one dollar! A stop at the fruit stand has officially became a necessity when we go to the local Tesco (grocery store).
