I read that there are  Thai farmers who grow the famous Gros Michel Banana, which is the old variety of banana which was popular worldwide generations ago, before the Panama disease nearly exinguisehd it.

 

Now it's extremely hard to find , but whoever tried it said is waaay richer/tastier/creamier than the common Cavendish variety.

I'd like to try it,. Do anybody know a market where to find it ?

In Thai it's known as Kluay Hawm Thawng  

Gros Michel is not only delicious but it's a piece of history. I'd love to find it.

These bananas are at most of the main kad’s in cm. Though rarely ever seen in north lampang and occasionally in phayao.

Indeed found on some online shopping offers. Lot of videos and other stuff on the net.

Will have a look later in the day.

Wife says we have none.

Her brother brought some in the past from his stay at Pattaya.

There are many bananas more tasty than Cavendish - check out weirdexplorer.com  He tries out various fruits around the world and rates them on taste.   I think he has tried a few thousand.
