Longan (Lamyai) delivers the most honey-sweet flavor among northern Thai fruits, with each translucent orb packing 12-14 grams of natural sugar per 100 grams. Harvested primarily from June to August in Chiang Mai orchards, these small fruits feature a fragile brown shell that yields to juicy, perfumed flesh. Lamyai outperforms #6 Pomelo in sweetness intensity and costs just 40 THB per kilogram, significantly cheaper than the average imported lychee. Its subtle floral notes and smooth texture make it ideal for cooling desserts or eating fresh by the handful.
