The city of Nakhon Ratchasima has officially launched its durian festival, showcasing 38 different types of Wang Nam Khiao durians. Dessert shops are set to open to visitors starting tomorrow, with the main event commencing on July 5.

 

Located in Ban Khlong Sai, the Ploenchit Durian Orchard is home to more than 40 various kinds of durians. The owner, Satit Tritarak, states that the orchard, spanning 12 rai and containing 360 trees, produces popular durian varieties such as Monthong, Chanee, Puangmanee, Musang King, and Kob Suwan. The spot also cultivates rare breeds like Thong Tam Tua, Nuan Thong Chan, and Sai Nam Phueng.

 

Apart from these, the Ploenchit Durian Orchard also boasts a range of durian families, like the long-stemmed varieties of Kan Yao Si Nak and Kob Mae Thao from the Kob family.

 

The health of these durians is maintained by following soil enrichment techniques from YouTube experts. A mix of fermented animal manure and gypsum is used to nourish the soil, and additional nutrients are given twice a year. This year's yield is predicted to start in late June and conclude in late August.

 

The orchard is dedicated to harvesting only mature durians, guaranteeing no issues with unripe fruit for the consumers. The main focus this year will be selling durians on the spot during the durian festival instead of online.

 

Ploenchit Durian Orchard has recently opened a new shop selling durians and sweets. Here, visitors can taste different durian strains and enjoy carefully prepared desserts made from the finest ingredients.

 

The dessert shops are set to have a soft launch tomorrow while the grand opening is scheduled for July 5. Durian lovers, sweet-toothed individuals, and tourists visiting the local Khao Phang Ma wildlife observation spot are all encouraged to stop by the orchard.
