Thailand blog tip: Visit a Thai market (video)

However, not only in markets, you can find something.
In terms of fruit, there are also the local roadside stalls and sometimes the only one in a given item.
As in the south of Thailand (see the shape of Thailand as a molar, the left root)
There they sell champada, jackfruit-like fruit, delicious.

They have very tall palm trees there, Malaysian palmyra palm. I don't imitate them to pick something in the crown, because they are really high.
They also do different things. The palm blooms with a purple flower, which is used in deserts. Cookies are made with it, were tasty. You keep eating it. Of course also the pulp and they create an alcoholic drink with it. It is not campari, but it does have a bitter taste. And drink is also not filtered and therefore cloudy. I don't care, you just have to try it once, wasn't gross. I'm not much of a bitter lover.
Hence the Campari advertisement at the time, you must have drunk it once in your life, that's right.

Don't forget the Nonai, nice and sweet fruit.
Well, sometimes you do come across a fruit and you don't like it, for example the farang. My wife likes it, but not my thing. Too little flavor and "hard".
But always try to find new fruits on the market, which haven't been tried yet.
The other day the woman had another fruit for me, she said nothing, just try.
So that thing was even more sour than a lemon, don't remember the name, but I don't want that anymore either.
Woman couldn't stop laughing.

She has a tree in the garden, quite a lot of leaves and super green bit leathery leaves and it had fruit last period. Purple, so I asked can you eat that, yes. It was a very tasty fruit, sweet sour fresh. Just nice. According to woman, this fruit is not widely appreciated by the youth and Thai society. I don't know why because it's just delicious. Have to search for a name.

If you ever come across soursop, soursop, do it! Not yet seen in Thailand (they must be there somewhere) but tried out in the Philippines. Sweet and sour fresh, better not to eat the seeds, seem to be a bit toxic. It's difficult because they are really intertwined in the flesh.

Have you ever eaten those green mussels?! Nice firm meat, delicious.
Saw the market video in Phuket, probably been. However, you also have a business called supercheap. Literally sells everything. From mouth size to bulk. Is a very large "shop", hall.
Tuna then for a tenner, try it in the Netherlands, where a herring costs 3 euros.
Bringing fish for mother-in-law, hop in the Styrofoam container and filled with ice by staff! Service, because it had to go from Phuket to Satun. Yes succeeded.
Wife even happier because you could buy real spice mortars there, which I discovered. Indeed a discovery because the store is large and packed with stuff. Also vegetables fruit meat and fish. I thought it was a great experience.

You can also smell jackfruit, was at the market and my nose told me there was jackfruit somewhere.
Followed my nose and tada… jackfruit. Yum.
Think I'll book again, because fruit is a certain time. August September.
Or just emigrate? Rutte may be gone, but will it get better?
