westbounder Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 When is the season? What month can I buy the best Durian in Chiang Mai? Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I think May is the peak season. It will be cheap then anyway. Not sure about best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotlost Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 The number one area in Thailand for Durian is Chanthaburi as I have been informed by my wife and as I told her; THEY CAN KEEP IT. PU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CobraSnakeNecktie Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 yeah still early for durians. The watermelons are good now and the mango's are really coming on now. Cheap and tasty sugar bombs. 35 to 50 baht per kg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keo Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 you can buy it year round, although prices will vary according to the seasons. Pretty sure it is in season around august - october. Muang Mai market has the best prices. can't get enough of the stuff myself! Montong is apparently the most delicious strain, very sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 (edited) OK, it is May through August ... I have noticed it tends to be very cheap in May, so I just assumed that was the peak of supply. Yes you can always get it, but it is expensive in off season. http://www.simply-thai.com/Thai-Market_Fruit_Durian.htm Beginning in May and extending through August, the Durian announces its presence in Thai markets with a distinctive, highly pervasive aroma.

Yunnie Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Saw some out on a little stall north of Thapae gate today on Moon Muang Rd. Somewhere slightly north of Somphet market. Walked right by it and smiled. I so hate that smell... but it taste so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses G. Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Very soon, but I am not sure when they are cheapest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo the Face Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Durian is not allowed at our place. The only time we cut one is when we have some nice Europeans, with hairy arm pits, and have never heard of deodorant.... We put a free sample on their table.
