In order to taste my way across Thailand I have happily picked off street carts (and once passing by some locals in a tree) prickly fruits, smelly fruits and indescribable by sight and smell foods. At the top left you see Durian... a fruit so pungent most wont dare open it indoors, It taste like a mushy mango with a stringy texture. On the bottom right you have Snake fruit, the street name for Salacca, due to its unique outer shells texture and feel. it has a funky aroma but with a unique sweet and sour taste that I can not possibly compare to anything well known. 
On Koh Phangan, the island of the famous Full Moon party, they also have the Night Market on the northern part of the island just a short walk from the main pier....where local vender's come together and cook the local and fresh cuisine, drink, and sell their creations from sculptures made from car parts and unique handstiched bags. Its locals that cook for locals so it is by far the most Baht friendly food and people.
Longan, it comes on a vine like a grape but you have to peal the tough skin back to reveal its juicy insides that remind me of a tiny Honeydue melon but with a more translucent meat.
Mangosteen, its the purple fruit that you should cut open very carefully no not ruin the meat inside or have a go at peeling it just make sure your not wearing white. It has a grape flavor that's light and refreshing but with an, already pealed grape texture, and like grapes look out for the bitter seeds.
