I've heard about this fruit for a while. It's a little berry and it turns sour stuff sweet. Anyone know where I can find some around Bangkok? A tree would be cool but just berries are find too.

I've seen the plants for sale at Sanam Luang 2 market and I think at Jatujak market. Try Jatujak on Wed. or Thur. when when they have an awesome plant market. I've never seen the fruit itself for sale. I used to have a plant back in the U.S. It's interesting, but not that miraculous.
Do you happen to know the Thai name for it so that I can ask the vendors there?

Miracle Fruit Plant is one of rare and unique fruit plant because its fruit can change from sour to sweet. You canprove it by test one of Miracle fruit and follow by lemon. You will see that lemon is sweet.

Thanks for the link Donathan. It's even better cuz it's in my province as well. Looks like they normally ship bulk orders to international companies but maybe I could convince them to sell me a plant or two.
