hi my name is josie and welcome back or welcome if you are new here today we are at muang mai
market which is a large fresh market in the heart of chiang mai we're going to try some
fruit today that i don't really know what it is and i don't know what it's called
but it's local thai fruit let's see how we go let's see what's delicious let's taste
so i see these furry kind of fruit here i've seen it sort of everywhere i've seen people have them
on online on tik tok on video on youtube eating it in the streets but i still don't know what it is i
don't know what it's called i don't know what it tastes like but i'm gonna get some and try it hey
do you eat it just as it is do you remember there was that guy on the floor of the airport eating
these yes he had like the skins i think just sitting there so maybe you take the skin off no
he was yeah he was taking the skin off and eating i would have just eaten it so i'm glad i knew i'm
glad you told me that so there's a price for 30 baht but i'm not sure how many that is i think
it's a kilo a kilo what if i just asked for one i thought you went a little bit yeah need noise
uh tower rider
thank you we got a lot of them i'm still not sure how to eat them but let's let's try how
do you live at home i think we don't need to cut them up okay all right we'll wait
we'll keep these and make sure you stick around to watch how i eat this because i'm still not sure
so i'm gonna get what i think is dragon fruit i'm pretty sure
again i don't is this the one with the dots in it yeah okay i have had it before
but i haven't had it it hold before it's cut up so let's try some so i'd be fair
okay so that's 25 for like one of these big dragon fruit this is a really really busy
market there's um you know scooters driving up and down all of the laneways as well and
then stopping to pick their food up so it seems to be a bit of a drive-through situation also
we're getting some fruit so again things i haven't really tried before maybe some things that i have
but i know that so many of you have asked me to try mangosteen i don't know what it looks like i
don't know what it tastes like but hopefully i can find it today even though i don't know what it is
let's have a look okay so that's some durian now i did try this one i think in my last video is when
i was on the island of kolan so make sure you go and check that out i'll leave it below or in the
description bar but we were told that you know you can get different kinds and different types
and different variations and levels of smell and everything of durian which i think they have there
but i've already tasted it so i'm going to stick to the ones that i haven't done yet
but i think we just found some mangosteen where is it ah it kind of looks like a plum there's durian
over there as well it's drawing everywhere look behind you this is the durian market
pick what you want what's good what makes it good
yep they look so funny like they're like it's like a little like plum with like a head oh sorry
i don't know what's good i don't know what you want to get maybe more purple i don't know purple
i don't know what's good what's good which one's good i've got a mix of like pink
and purple ones because i'm not sure which one's like rifle what's good so is that okay
oh i don't have that many yes try
thank you
okay we've got a bag of mangosteen we've got like 10 bags of fruit already i'm set for next week
i don't know if you feel like you cut them or what i'm not sure we'll find out soon
so we just found some bananas and they look a little bit different to
the bananas at home and apparently they taste different someone told me on my tick tock so
we're going to try these as well we got a whole bunch of them for about 15 baht so
the old lady
we were saying to the lady selling us the bananas and she was like
because we're in like northern thailand and then i was like
as we were leaving and then a lady drove passed on her bike and was like popcorn you're so cute
so we're just walking through this market at the moment and we've got about four different fruits
i do think i want to try one more but i'm not sure what's that i'm gonna get it what
is it what are these ones let's try it they look like um like mandarins sweaty car car
delicious
perfect
i'm excited it is so hot here right now as you can see i've got sweat dripping on my glasses
um so this is nice and cold very icy just to refresh us this fruit that we have i
think we have to cut it up i think we have to like i don't think you can eat the skin
of the most of them so we might have to go somewhere else too oh thank you thank you
thank you so much she gave me a little thing to wipe on my silhouette which is very helpful
we're going to go home and i think cut up the fruit it's really hot today in thailand
so here is some fresh sort of cut up pineapple already but i've actually already had pineapple
almost every day here in thailand so i do already know what that tastes like but i
will tell you that it does taste so much better here in thailand i think it's like the tropical
growing condition or something but something about thailand pineapple is just so much better than
pineapple at home oh so good one of my favorite fruits here okay so we are stocked up on uh fruit
here so half of these things i'm not sure what they are i'm not sure how to eat them i'm not sure
they're gonna taste good i'm pretty sure but what we're gonna do now is because i think
we need to cut some of these things we're gonna go home we're gonna grab some utensils
stick around and find out which ones are good obviously that's watermelon that's delicious but
let's see i have the fruit look i'm not sure where to start i'm not sure what to begin with let's try
this what is this
i'm not sure if you're meant to eat the skin if you're not let's just cut the top oh it's hard
what's that oh it tastes really good i mean it smells it's got like a like a white thing on the
inside and it's surrounded by like purple like fruit stuff do i eat the purple stuff or just
the white stuff i'm not sure oh it it like comes off it comes off really easily if i like pull it
oh maybe you're only meant to eat this part it looks like a mandarin but white and small
so i don't eat this maybe i do oh i don't think you do that was oh that wasn't nice
don't eat this part all right let's try this like white fleshy looking little piece of
fruit i'm kind of scared
oh that's
oh that is delicious that is so good i don't have another one oh that inside is so nice
the white part is like sweet very sweet slightly chewy but it breaks apart in your mouth
i'm not even sure what to compare this to maybe the closest thing is like a lychee
but not really like it's it's so nice
that is so good that is so good that that that this is my favorite fruit this is amazing
this is so nice i'm gonna have another one okay let's try this it looks like a mandarin to me
i don't think it is one because mandarins don't like uh oh this
feels weird this feels like it's like bendy it's like like kinda oh
it tastes like a mandarin that must be mandarin it's got like a a slightly sour aftertaste to it
whereas the initial bite is like pretty sweet okay that like soury aftertaste
that you get like halfway through it or towards the end kind of ruins it for me but
tell me if this is sweet or not because i'm getting like a weird aftertaste and i don't
really like the aftertaste i don't think it's a mandarin tell me what it is the watermelon
in thailand just hits different it's just so much like juicier so much more tasty
nowhere in australia will you get this much watermelon for 20 baht i think that's like 80
cents or something oh this is good stuff this is really good stuff i think i like the mangosteen
better than this though which is really weird because i love watermelon oh can i say that
i don't know watermelon's like really good for me a thai banana so i've accidentally ripped the
head off that one but it looks the same on the inside as bananas from home but i don't know it
doesn't look the same on the outside it's a lot shorter than the bananas at home normally the
bananas from australia are like really long um and quite large but if you saw from the market
these ones are like short and like kind of fat it's like weird they don't look the same from home
okay these are much better
they're like sweeter that i feel like they have more flavor i feel like
that is really nice okay what is this it looks like a like a bat or something it's got like green
leaves that are like coming out the side and it's like pink but green and i don't know what part
of this i'm meant to eat do i cut it open i'm not sure do i like pull this down like a banana
i don't i don't really know okay so i'm gonna cut this and hope for the best basically so
maybe i'll just try cutting it this oh that's cool it's kind of like pink on the outside but it's got
like white and like seeds black seeds or speckles or something they're seeds they're black seeds
on the inside now now that i've seen this on the inside i have seen this in like thai breakfast
still didn't know what this was at that point i didn't know this was a dragon fruit
i don't think we have oh it just kind of peels off that's cool
i don't think we have these in australia i'm not sure i've never seen
this kind of fruit before with like the white and the black seeds i don't want to say that we don't
have them in australia but i don't remember ever seeing one so all right let's try oh oh
okay i don't think this tastes like anything that i've had before i don't think i can tell you
something that this is like similar to it's almost like see-through like in the way that it's so
like soft like you literally just bite through it like butter it's just i don't i don't know
about this i don't know that's a bit strange that one this next one i've seen this everywhere do i
know what it's called no do i know how to eat it no am i scared because it looks like it has
like hair and fur yes um but i have seen lots of people eat this and i'm excited to finally
try it i've never seen this fruit before in my life so it looks like red with like green spikes
of fur they're very soft they're not like hard or anything like that oh it's like hard to cut
oh it's got a seed in the middle that's what and then there's like a white fleshy inside that's
around a seed is this a lychee ah so you peel you peel the skin ah it i think it's a lychee
i'm like 90 sure this is a lychee i just have never seen one with the skin on before
ever in my life if it's not it's like the identical twin
of eliji it doesn't taste as sweet as a light she does but maybe that's just because i've never had
just a lychee on its own just latchy flavored drinks and stuff
i kind of like it not as much as the first one the first thing i had was the best by far
peeling there we go that's the good stuff wow and it just comes out like that
so much that this is a lychee if it's not i'm going to be so surprised
but tell me in the comments what all of these fruits are because thailand has
the coolest fruit like not only do the things that we do have in australia taste better here but you
have things that we don't even have you've had fruits that i've never even had before
okay so this one by far was my favorite of the whole day i think it's called a mangosteen and
i had so many comments from you guys telling me to try it and i'm so glad that i did
because this one is delicious this is like the sweetest fruit i've ever eaten
in my whole life and i love it that's going to be my favorite fruit i think like
ever this tastes like heaven if you don't like sweet fruits you probably won't like it it's the
sweetest fruit i've ever eaten in my life i love sweet i love this i love that white flesh and how
like easily it just dissolves in your mouth and it tastes so sweet if you liked this video i know
