love durian and no problem with the smell ,cant believe 6 people went to hospital ,bloody snowflakes.

Probably as a precaution as they may initially have thought there was a chemical attack or something

Just imagine if someone posted fermented fish there and it leaked. They'd probably evacuate the town, not just the post office, and emergency services would be donning hazard suits.

Only six to hospital? I would have thought a mandatory isolation of a minimum of six weeks after exposure within 5km would have been prudent.

I adore durian, I think it is the best taste (of food) in the world.

 

Worryingly though, from a bank balance perspective, my seven year old daughter agrees.

I don’t like it either. But a durian lover described it like this:

 

A smell from hell, but a taste from heaven.

If you think durian smells bad, try Stinky Tofu in China and Taiwan. That stuff you can smell a good 200 meters away and makes durian smell like roses. Plus if you eat it, you get to relive the smell the next morning in the powder room. Really nasty stuff and they love it as well. No wonder the Chinese go nuts for durian.

The Taiwanese lady use to cook stink tofu about 25 meters from my room in the suburbs of Taipei, the smell impregnated the entire room, even though I tried once and it tastes like <deleted>. For me it much worst than thai Pa La (fermented fish).

Why would somebody mail durian to Germany?

I will give you a hint (pic taken in a Belgian shop)

Kilo price in euro......

And I thought it was the Indian durian that smelled bad, guess these ones were

over ripe. Haz-Mat suit to the rescue.

I wonder how they would react to a leaky bag of  Issan Fish  Sauce?

Durian is perfume by comparison  to my sense of smell !

Give me sauerkraut and pork sausages over the Brit meals of green peas anyway. I think the Brit cuisine is even worse then the Dutch cuisine (that is saying a lot)

Full of hearty Green Pea-ness!!!   Pass the Peas Please Pal.....pfffft.

I rented an airbnb room from a vietnamese couple that would cook, they would open the porch door and front door during winter but did no help in regards to the fish smell...would wake me from a deep sleep.

 

Would not want to follow that stinky tofu lady if I had to use the bathroom and she was in there first!

If its pealed its only 3 times the price you pay in Thailand. Not too bad. If its weighed as is then yes I understand.

Pattaya prices are not representative for Thailand.

As a matter of fact, nothing in Pattaya is representative for Thailand, and that includes Expats.

I dont live in Pattaya I live on the outskirts of BKK (nothaburi) Durian is extremely expensive. It easily goes for 200 bt a kg. 27,50 x 34 = 935. I seen prices go much higher as 200 too it all depends on the kind of durian.
