Beyond fresh fruit — the preserved and candied fruit traditions found at markets and specialty shops.
Miniature fruit and vegetable shapes made from mung bean paste, painted with food colouring — a labour-intensive Thai confection, more decorative than functional but genuinely delicious.
Sold at markets in small bags — sweet, sour, sometimes chilli-dusted; a popular snack, especially with children.
Modern Thai jam producers make excellent tropical fruit preserves — good souvenirs, sold at Or Tor Kor and gift shops.
Or Tor Kor Market has the best selection of traditional and modern preserves; OTOP (One Tambon One Product) shops carry regional specialities.
