Dragon fruit is seen everyday throughout Thailand. Any where there's a fruit vendor on the street, or a market...you'll see this fruit. I've only seen the red and white variety...never seen the yellow in Thailand yet. This fruit is actually native to Mexico and Central/South America, but is now grown in many Southeast Asian countries. Very easy to enjoy, a fruit vendor will slice it for you, or if you buy from a market all you have to do is quarter them and peel back the skin.
