The Thai mango is known as "Ma Muang", although this varies by region. There are perhaps more than on hundred types of Thai mangoes, many of them hybrids developed in Thailand.The mango tree only bears fruit once per year, and its season is between late March and early June. This small window of time for top quality and represents much of the enjoyment of mangoes by so many in Thailand, making it in effect a stable for meals and especially desserts.
