Bangkok, Thailand January 10, 2008. Fresh cold sliced ready to eat tropical fruit is my favorite breakfast. While that may be a do-it-yourself or forget idea in America, it is a readily available street food experience here in Bangkok.
This is one of my favorite fruit vendor ladies. I remember her from years ago when I 1st stayed on Khao San road here in Bangkok.
For 10 or 15 Baht (30 to 45 cents US) I buy my morning Papaya, or watermelon, and another 15 Baht for a cold young coconut to wash it down with. Actually these vendors operate into the late night hours or until they run out of fruit.
These carts are so well designed. They show their yummy fruit thru clear sanitary glass and drain the ice melt out the bottom. There are wheels and handle for pushing the cart to the best selling spot or for dashing down a side alley to avoid the police ticketing vendors clogging the roads and sidewalks.
Fruit, my breakfast for champions and another reason I love Bangkok.

James,
The fruits look so yummy. I would love to just walk down the street but have to go to the fruit market instead. I am glad you are sharing and finally updating your blog.
Love peggy
