Another fun Thai fruit: ตะขบ (`da kop`), which are these tiny custard-like berries that literally spoil within hours after picking them. They make great shade trees, so you can often find them growing over a road in residential areas, and just pick a couple to eat on the spot. You'll never find them in a store, but they're a quintessential part of childhood here.

- 9nGQluzmnq3M 6y agoIs this the same as da kop farang, or are these different fruits/berries? https://th.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%B0%E0%B8%82%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%9D%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B1%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%87 https://th.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%B0%E0%B8%82%E0...
- maguay 6y agoYup, that's the same! Apparently the name has _farang_ in it since the tree isn't originally native to Thailand; Wikipedia says it's a transplant from Mexico, interestingly enough.
