Interesting Mobile Fruit and Vegetable Shops in Thailand

When you want to buy fruits or vegetables, I think most of you would certainly go to supermarket, right? But, for me, it’s not necessary to do so because there are mobile fruit and vegetable shops visiting us twice a week.

In Thailand, the mobile shops are very popular and there are several styles of them. This one is a good example that I would like to show you today.

It seems that everything you want regarding seasonal Thai fruits and vegetables are included in that car. They are in good quality, fresh and really cheap!

(If you remember, parts of my Thai fruit collections were from this car)

It’s amazing that this car is loaded with so many things, right? Yes, that's very much interesting, too!

I really like the way the merchant managed and arranged his car. Those things are well organized; fruits, foods and vegetables are placed separately.

And, as you can see, all spaces are used efficiently.

Some of them hang both sides of the car.

If you notice, some goods were put in plastic bags or packages and each bag or package has its price.

It’s really good that we can select the goods independently and nothing to be worried about the merchant because he didn't bother us during our purchase.

I cannot explain in details about all of those items. If you are interested in what item, please just let me know. And if I know, I will describe it to you accordingly.

I think this is one of the best ways of sales! The merchants can sell a lot of goods to their customers directly to customers’ houses. And it’s very convenient for us because it can save our times rather than going out to supermarket.

Is there any mobile fruit and vegetable shop like this in your area?

That is a really neat mobile market. We don't have anything like that but there are some mobile food trucks that sell ready made prepared food meals.

There is a local farmers market on the summer weekends where vendors sell different vegetables, fruits and other items. They don't have nearly that selection of items though.

Thanks so much for your nice comment and sharing your experience with me! Yes, I totally agree with you, "that is a really neat mobile market". Your mobile food trucks seem to be interesting, too! It's great that there is a local market in your area that you can buy fresh goods from local farmers directly! ;)

This is very practical dear friend @tangmo, the fruits look fresh and delicious, congratulations for the customs of your town, thank you dear friend @tangmo for all these beautiful images
I wish you a beautiful day

You're welcome! I highly appreciate for your nice compliment! This makes me feel really happy! Many thanks!
Have a beautiful day, too! ;)

This is a great idea. I've never seen mobile shops like these. In my country there is mobile shops for ice creams and bread. Thank you for sharing with us! Wish you a great day my friend! :))

You're welcome! Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing your experience with me! I'm happy you like that idea of the mobile shop! We also have mobile shops for ice cream and bread in Thailand, too! Have a wonderful day! ;)

How great! That is a lot of wonderful fruits, vegetables, fish, and more! I can't even decide what to ask questions about, lol! There is so much. That person sure knows how to organize things efficiently. We don't have anything like this at all. Sometimes there will be someone with a truck selling fresh ears of sweet corn, but only for a few days in the summer, and that's about it. You could make one post a week about each item and it would take years for you to show it all to us! :D

Thank you very much for your nice comment and sharing your experience with me! And thanks for not asking any questions, because I'm not sure I can answer those questions or not. ;)

Yes, I totally agree with you and I admire him on his well organization about those things.

It's good idea! Yeah! I'll have a lot of articles from this one mobile shop for years...... (Actually, my photos of Thai fruits collection in my old posts were from this mobile shop!) ;D

Yes, you did say in your post that your other Thai fruits were from this shop! You have so many posts now about Thai fruit. Have you ever done a post that lists all your past fruit posts? Some people are starting to list their past posts, like the @creatr's Table of Contents.

That's really great idea! Thank you very much for your suggestion! ;)

You're welcome. You've been such a consistent creator here on Steemit!

That is amazing. We don't have anything quite like it that I know of. Can't believe how much is on the truck. Thanks for sharing this slice of your life. I'm sure you use this often. I know I would. Don't have to go very far for good food, and twice a week would be plenty to 'stock up'. Thanks again, and have a wonderful night.

You're welcome! Thanks so much for your nice comment! Yes, it's really amazing! You're right! This is part of my daily life and very comfortable for me. I enjoyed selecting those things from this mobile shop; there are so many things that I like, especially the fresh Thai fruits. Have a wonderful night, too! ;))

No wonder you make so many great desserts, they bring the ingredients right to your DOOR!! ( :
Must be very nice.

Yes, you're right! It's very nice! ;)

Very nice idea dear friend Thank you for sharing Up&Resteem

You're welcome! Thanks a lot for Up@Resteem! I much appreciate it! ;)

Amazing photographs. All of that came out of one car? LOL! I sure would love to have this car come to my area. I love to support our farmers and their food is so fresh and delicious. We have a few cars and road-side stands with tomatoes and corn on the cob.

Thanks a lot for stopping by and sharing your experience with me! I'm glad you like the photos! Yes, all that came out of one car! ;)

My pleasure! :) It is amazing how they could fit all of that in their car. They are well organized.

Yes, you're right! I agree with you! ;)

Excellent post my friend @tangmo. My favorite kind of post where I learn something new. i am wondering about the bamboo, is that with sticky rice like what i get on the train?

Thanks so much! I'm happy to know that it is one of your favorite posts. Yes, you're right! The bamboo is with sticky rice! It's good that you already tasted it during your visit! Very yummy! ;)

this is so cool! it would be nice to have this in america, often times it is hard for people in lower income neighborhoods to have access to fresh food. thank you for sharing this with us! the whole truck looks delicious!

Thank you very much for your comment, visiting my blog and sharing your experience with me! I'm glad you like those things in the truck! I followed you now! ;)

This is really cool, I know when I was little I used to live in Mexico and throughout the day merchant would pass by selling vegetables and eggs but I've never seen one so organized. Are they all like this? Is that fish cold?

Thanks a lot for stopping by and sharing your experience with me! The mobile shops are not all like this. There are various styles and this is very well organized one! The fish is not cold, it's steamed fish! ;)
