I love Thailand honey mangoes (Nam Dok Mai ?)??and it is sweet and juicy.?? Mango??(Ma-Muang) season starts between March and June which falls on the summer months. It is probably the most popular and typical of Thai fruit.
It is??very cheap in the markets?? during the fruiting season as compare??to Singapore.?? It costs about 40 – 50??THB????for a Thai honey mango??back home. Chachoengsao province is famous for mangoes with an annual?? mango fair. The mango trees are mostly found in Amphoe Bang Khla and Amphoe Plaeng Yao. Popular varieties being grown by mango orchardists are Raet, Khiao Sawoei, Nam Dok Mai, Chaokhun Thip, Thong Dam, etc.
Kao Niao?? Mamuaug (mangoes served with coconut milk?? and sticky rice) is a must try dessert??if you visit Thailand. It is catered both on roadside-shops and in restaurants.??When in season, it has become a regular meal for many??local people??by eating mango with sticky rice and coconut milk.
It is one of the most popular desserts in Thailand beside Kao Chae ( rice served in cold jamine water) during the Songkran Festival. For sure, I will??never miss my authentic mango juice and spicy mango salad during my trip.
