Nam Thang Mo – Watermelon Juice

Whilst visiting Ko Phi Phi on a day trip that still feels recent after all these years, Nam Thang Mo – Watermelon Juice was the only way to cool down. We took our drinks and sat on the beach overlooking a small inlet with boats docked against this pristine shoreline with a view that stretched as far as the eye could see of the type of landscape you’d imagine seeing when visiting this beautiful country. Have you been to Thailand? Any memories you’d want to share below whilst we can’t currently visit.

The thing about Thailand is that the humidity is ever present and the only time you can’t tell it’s enveloping you constantly is whilst in a cold shower and so the street vendors selling fruit juices is always welcome.

During the trip not a day went by without purchasing at least one juice, but really how great this feature of Thai cuisine was how delicious and refreshing Watermelon Juice or Nam Thang Mo which became a beloved treat during this day trip that was kind of a last minute addition to our visit to Thailand.

Summer is winding down and somehow it feels like it never really began in London which makes me sad because the year and a bit of lockdown and awful weather combine has been tough to live with at times!

Now seems like the best time to dream of those memories and somehow none of the recipes in my searching came up with the same as what the vendors served so this is the best version of what I was served in Ko Phi Phi on that sunny day.
