PHUKET: A Phuket fruit trader has started the long journey from Phuket to Trat province, on the Cambodian border more than 1,100km away, to return a shipment of 636kg of unripe monthong durian that cost more than B61,340.

 

The fruit trader, Kosit Rattanaphong, filed at a complaint at the Damrongdhama centre (Ombudsman’s office) at Phuket Provincial Hall yesterday afternoon (June 9) to seek support for his claim after local police told him there was little they could do to help him.

 

The fruit trader, Kosit Rattanaphong, explained that he had placed his order with a farm in Trat on May 31, and the shipment arrived in Phuket on June 1.

If it's un-ripe it stinks... if it's ripe it stinks more, if it's rotten it stinks a lot more !

Something about this stinks. I love over ripe durian. Aroi!????

Trust us we’re Thai

They tap them usually with a stick with a rubber end. Ripe ones, presumably, make a different sound when tapped.

Thanks for your tapping tips but doubt they will ever be required ????

Where did it say that it took him 10 days to file a police complaint?
