DURIAN 2020 | NOW Durian Season In Thailand

https://bangkokandmore.live/ for Donations and latest Live Stream...DURIAN 2020 | NOW Durian Season In Thailand has begun.
Durian season in Thailand starts in March every year and ends somewhere in December. If that seems surprisingly long, that's because Thailand is the world leader in durian exports. Whereas durian in other countries is only in season for 3-4 months, Thailand can produce durians almost all year round!

The Big Four
234. That’s how many known durian varieties there are in Thailand. It’s no wonder then that Thailand is the world’s largest exporter of these so-called “Crème Brulee on Trees”. It would take years to taste them all, but for first-timers, start off with the big five.

Monthong literally means “golden pillow” in Thai, but this is one pillow you wouldn’t want to lay your head on. It’s the largest of the five most popular breeds in Thailand and is characterised by triangular spikes and pale yellow flesh that’s the sweetest of them all.

Gaan Yao or “long stem” durian is more rounded with smaller thorns and originates in Nonthaburi Province where the trees thrive in the lowlands by the river. It’s loved for the well-balanced flavours combining sweet and creaminess, and is the most expensive. A Gaan Yao recently fetched 270,000 Baht (US$8,400) at an auction. This variety is so favoured that it is even used as a durian bribe by ambitious Thai businessmen to sweeten deals.

The more circular Chanee variety, which means “gibbon” in Thai, is home to golden yellow segments of goodness that are less meaty than the Monthong, but definitely more fragrant and rich. Experts say the best way to choose which segment to put in your mouth is to find one that most resembles a smile.

It’s easy to guess the size of the Gradoomthong variety once you realise the name translates into Thai as “golden button”. Weighing an average of only 1kg, this variety is easy to consume, as the smaller segments aren’t as sloppy to eat as the more meaty varieties.

The Press Test
There’s no right or wrong when choosing which durian to purchase as long as you give it the press test. With permission from the vendor, place your finger on the durian and give it a gentle squeeze.

Enjoy the start of Durian Season 2020 in Bangkok...
