19-3-2024 (BANGKOK) Samut Songkhram province is buzzing with excitement as the mango season arrives, capturing the attention of mango farmers and astute entrepreneurs. Among them is Nanthapat Boonmee, known as Boom Bim, whose roadside mango stall has garnered widespread popularity.
Situated on Sri Champa Street in the Mae Klong area, Boom Bim’s Mango Sticky Rice with Big Boobs has become a sensation. The 35-year-old entrepreneur has capitalized on the abundance of mangoes by blending the golden Nam Dok Mai mangoes and tangy Ok-rong variety with a traditional sticky rice recipe passed down from her grandmother. The result is a culinary delight that has customers, particularly young men, returning for more.
Previously employed in a hospital, Boom Bim’s desire to earn more motivated her to venture into a business that could capitalize on her grandmother’s delicious sticky rice recipe she remembered from 30 years ago. Successful trials with the recipe and connections with a mango farm owner gave her the confidence to start her business, which initially took off three years ago at the Amphawa Floating Market. Unfortunately, the Covid-19 pandemic forced her to temporarily halt operations. However, this year’s bountiful mango harvest has allowed her to restart her business at the Mae Klong Market, where she is once again experiencing booming sales.
Boom Bim’s choice to dress in a provocative manner, aligning with her personal preference for beautiful attire, has significantly contributed to the popularity of her stall. Combined with the high-quality product she offers, her stall has proudly earned the nickname it now carries.
At Boom Bim’s Mango Sticky Rice with Big Boobs, customers can indulge in a selection of freshly picked Number 4 Nam Dok Mai and Ok-rong mangoes, paired with her delectable sticky rice. The sticky rice is priced at 120 baht per kilogram, with small boxes available for 30 baht and large boxes for 50 baht.
Customers can enjoy these mouthwatering treats between 2pm and 10pm daily at the front of Tawee Kij Mae Klong, located on Sri Champa Street.
