The most amazing style of coconut cutting by a vendor at Rom Hub Market, Samut Songkhram Province, to the point of being invited to perform in China.
At Rom Hub Market or Risky Market, it is the location of Mae Klong Railway Station, Mae Klong Subdistrict, Mueang District, Samut Songkhram Province, an unseen Thailand that is popular among foreign tourists. In addition, there is another highlight of this market: you will see the coconut-cutting style of Ms. Jintana, 45 years old, a coconut seller with a very exciting style, which creates a lot of color. Many foreign tourists, especially Chinese people who visit Rom Hub Market, like this seller’s style and give her the nickname “Ping Ping”.
Ms. Jintana said that before, she sold shallots, garlic, and dried chilies at Rom Hub Market to Thai people in general. However, recently, she saw that foreigners liked to eat sweet coconuts, so she brought Amphawa sweet coconuts to sell. Since she likes to play badminton, she created a distinctive feature by loudly cutt
ing coconuts to attract customers’ attention, which foreigners liked. In addition, Amphawa sweet coconut water is delicious, so foreigners recorded clips and shared them until it became well-known, especially Chinese people who liked it very much. As a result, the owner of a major Chinese application (Alibaba) invited her to be a presenter to cut coconuts and show off in China many times, until it became more well-known among tourists.
Currently, he sells 150-200 coconuts a day, each at 30 baht. However, nearby shops are used to it, but others who just met him for the first time thought someone was fighting.
