RedBullHorn Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) I grew up eating all type of durians on regular basis... $600 for a durian ? No way i am paying even if the shell is gold plated ! The most expensive 2kg durian i ever paid was for a D-24 red flesh durian at SGD$20.- Edited July 25, 2014 by RedBullHorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kolohe Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Connection is too slow to watch 8min of durian. However in Japan I've seen mangos and melons go for between 2000 and 6000 baht. They are specially taken care of without any defects and presented in a nice box, etc. I still can't see overpaying for a fruit like that no matter how perfect it is.

rice555 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Hello All, you maybe not get $600 for these durian, but for those in the Khunhan District of Srisket are growing good quality durian. Here's where where the article is(see pic) and here's part of it(in Thai). They are having a seminar on the 14th(? or so), my crypto tec is out, so can't transulate. rice555 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soidog2 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Durian is an amazing fruit; during the season we have some almost every day. Impossible to describe the absolute creaminess with a slight tinge of vanilla flavor that you get when you bite on a perfectly ripened pod. Unfortunately it is also one of the most misunderstood fruit. Constantly bad mouthed by Idiots that never tasted one or by other people then never bothered to obtained a good one. (many overripe or watery ones out there; will surely give the wrong impression) Beginning of the season they sell for up to 60/70 baht kilo; now at the height, are down to 45 baht kilo, no shortage whatsoever. We successfully grow some (this year the heat got them, no fruit), in the market; durian sellers always have the most action. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troysantos Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 At the ag fair down here in Hat Yai, there's a seller from Uttaradit with durian for 500 baht per kilo. Took one look at the price and had too look again! I'm perfectly happy with durians for a tenth of the price. Awesome stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
