What fruit is worth trying in Thailand?

Responds to Information department of "Subtlety of Tourism"
In large supermarkets you can find strawberries, apples, plums and pears - these are imported fruits and are quite expensive (for example, from 10 baht per apple). But it's better to try the local ones: bananas, coconuts, papaya, mangoes or pineapples are common here, only tastier and unique, exotic fruits of all colors and sizes (in parentheses is the name of the fruit in Thai).

Pomelo (catfish) is also often found in our country, and in Russia, it is a sweeter grapefruit. Sapodilla (lamut) - brown with a golden tinge fruit, similar to a bit of kiwi. They have a sweet flesh that resembles a dried fruit compote to taste.

Guava (farang) - a round green fruit the size of an apple, which is eaten with peel, cut into slices. Macam are large brown pods, the shell of which easily breaks. Inside - flesh, braided with veins, which are well separated.

Try a very sweet jackfruit (eve) - a huge spiny fruit, which, as a rule, is sold already peeled into small lobules of pear-shaped form. Rambutan (ngo) is a fruit-hedgehog the size of a plum, inside which is a bone in the flesh. This juicy and sweet flesh should be eaten.

Finally, Longan (lam-yai) - small pale yellow fruits on a branch, the cuticle in which it is necessary to cut with a knife and remove. Inside - bitter-sweet flesh. And the king of all Thai fruits is durian (turian). This is a large fruit with spines, inside which is a divine flesh, similar to plasticine. Durian must necessarily eat fresh, and throw garbage away from him to the street where far away, since, lying for an hour or two, this fruit begins to smell terribly. Many hotels even warn that it is strictly forbidden to carry durian to the room.
