For those fond of this succulent and luscious fruit, Thailand serves as an unrivalled destination to savour and sample some of the most exotic and exquisite renditions of the mango.

Mangosteen (Mang-Kut)

This exceptional and tasty fruit enjoys the official status national fruit of Thailand. Abounding with antioxidants, it is a powerful ally in keeping one cool even during the most oppressive summer days.

The fruit’s high fibre content also promotes optimal digestive health, ensuring one’s gut is balanced and well-being. Some claim that it prevents blood from clotting, helps you cool down and promotes weight loss, but these assertions remain subject to debate and scrutiny.

Sapodilla (Chikoo or Sapota)

Rich in vitamins C & A and iron, this exotic fruit is the perfect summer companion. It looks similar to a peach and offers a toffee-like taste.

Sapodilla also has a high caloric content, alongside a bountiful concentration of folate and niacin. The fruit is an indispensable and multifaceted source of vital nutrients, safeguarding one’s health and well-being amidst the sweltering summer days.

Buddha’s Hands (Fingered Citron)

Originally hailing from Northern China and India, this bright yellow fruit has skin and health benefits. It helps reduce pain, soothe gastrointestinal distress, boost the immune system, reduce inflammation, ease menstrual issues, lower blood pressure, and clear up respiratory illness.

Unlike its ancestor, the citron, Buddha’s hand has a sweet and soothing aroma and is a popular enhancer in alcohol-based drinks.

Rambutans (Nephelium Lappaceum)

The name of the rambutan is derived from the Malay term’ rambut’, meaning ‘hair’. It is a unique fruit with a red-and-yellow sticky outer layer and is widely known as a specialty fruit of Thailand.

After peeling off its outer layer, the rambutan resembles lychee in appearance. However, while it shares a similar seed to the lychee, its flesh is less sweet. Nonetheless, it makes for a refreshing and hydrating snack option, especially outdoors during the day.

Jackfruit (Khnun)

It’s essential to consume various nutrients to maintain good health during the challenging summer. Jackfruit is a fruit that provides all of them. This tropical fruit, which is high in potassium and vitamin C, has the potential to shield you from the damaging effects of the sun.

In addition to its sun-protective properties, jackfruit also has several health benefits, including lowering the risk of hypertension, stroke, and heart disease. The fruit is packed with antioxidants that aid in preventing cell damage. Furthermore, the fruit’s flesh contains significant amounts of these disease-fighting substances, while the seeds may have even more.
