Travel Snapshot – Fruit Carving Display at Bangla Street
My attention was caught along our way back to our Safari Beach resort by this lady in Thai costume. She was sitting along the Bangla Street at Patong and carving a melon with a short knife. You can see there were other fruits carving on display in front of her and lit up by a little spot light. I took out my D60 and snapped this photo. The lady was so ‘professional’ to pose for me perfectly.
Fruit carving is a traditional and highly cultivated art in Thailand. Normally fruit carving is used as display in Thai cuisine on dining table. Fruits used for carving includes watermelon, pineapple, honeydew, and even carrot. This is one of the highlight at Bangla Street at night in Patong Beach. – Travel Feeder, the ultimate travel photo blog.
