Thai cuisine is known for its vibrant flavors and abundant use of fresh fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables are essential ingredients in many Thai dishes, adding color, texture, and nutrition. In Thailand, it is common to find street vendors selling a wide variety of fresh fruits and fruit shakes. Additionally, Thai people often incorporate fruits and vegetables into their daily meals, promoting a healthy and balanced diet.

One interesting cultural fact is the use of fruit carving as a form of art in Thailand.
