With the tropical temperatures in Thailand, an ice cream is a cooling treat from time to time.

Thailand is a delightful destination for tourists looking for refreshing treats, especially when it comes to ice creams! There are countless varieties of ice creams to be found all over the country, and you can often get them from street vendors who sell their ice creams from colorful carts.

One of the most popular ice creams in Thailand is Thai ice cream, also known as "Thai-style" ice cream. This ice cream is made by pouring a liquid base of milk, sugar, and flavorings onto an ice-filled plate, then mixing quickly as it freezes. The result is a creamy and smooth ice cream with a unique texture.

Another popular option is the coconut ice cream, which is made from coconut milk and is a refreshing treat on hot days. For the adventurous eaters, there are also unusual flavours, such as durian ice cream. Durian is a tropical fruit with a strong smell, but the taste of the ice cream is mild and refreshing.

As for the street vendors with ice cream, you can often find them in busy squares and along the beaches. The ice cream carts are often colorfully decorated and attract the attention of passersby. The ice cream vendors are friendly and happy to advise on the different flavors and combinations they offer.

So, if you are in Thailand and looking for something refreshing, stop by one of the many ice cream vendors on the street and enjoy a delicious ice cream!

You can of course just scoop a ball into a bowl, but it can also be done differently. In this video you can see a street vendor in Phuket. She turns an ice cream into a new variant. This is how an ice cream ball becomes an ice cream roll…
