so many local varieties but in particular nam dok mai (มะม่วน้ำดอกไม้) which translates to nectar mango. i feel a great sense of loss that i don’t have access to them anymore.
here in the States i make do with Mexican ataulfo mangos (they’re lovely). i have yet to try the famous alphonso mango of India.
i also love cherries and nectarines. omg and lychee! i’ve never had a good lychee here but in Thailand they’re huge and juicy and sweet
I agree with royallmonarch that proper mangos are not readily available in the States. However, I've never had a good peach without immediately thinking, "the worst mango from Thailand would KO this mf."
I would also say Lychee but it feels scarce even in Thailand. Seemed like Lychee would fruit for a single week and then be gone. Oh, but what a week it was...
if i can't have that, then Indian and Pakistani mangoes. Best. In. The. World. Sorry East Asia, but your mangoes cannot compare, I have had them, they aren't it, and that is one of many hills I'll die on.
...I also like longans, can eat a whole bag.
