      Hi Paddy, That type of durian called Pa la-u, it's a local durian of Prachuabkirikhan that quite expensive one. You should try durian "Mon-Thong" the popular and common one in Thailand and the cheapest as well. Most of Thai people love to eat the fresh durian that crunchy outside but soft inside and very light smell but some love half ripe durian which still taste good. Do not buy a too ripe durian or a frozen durian cause it's mushy, very strong smell and leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

    My home town is lem khlong samsam makkasan district ratchathew Bangkok.
    I only lived in Bangkok for twenty years and I don't know the outside of the city until I have watched your young man videos that is how I learned about the whole country of Thailand.

      I was given a slice of cake at a birthday party, unknowingly it was Duran. First time I ever heard or tasted it. I immediately spit it out on the plate. Everyone had a good laugh at my expense. It was truly nasty to me.

  • @williamhartz8707
    @williamhartz8707 3 года назад +12

    I agree -we’ll look back puzzled with the “logic”with some of the Covid restrictions…close the restaurant and shopping malls & grocery stores a couple hours earlier as if Covid comes out only at night…or some beaches, parks are closed ( depending on the city or province); yet, it’s ok to be packed on the Skytrain or be shopping. Outdoor venues should be open as long everyone is social distancing.

    4- The drone views are amazing, there is so much green to look at, it is peaceful.
    5- Your choice of music is always excellent, especially the soft ones, the jazzy ones. They are relaxing and help focus on the views. More extended views please. Also, the girls singing on the boat the other day was an incredible moment and it's great that it was not cut! The sunset views were gorgeous.

    The consistency of durian is like a cross between mangos and avocado. Not every durian taste the same either, so maybe you got one that is not fully ripen. I think you got the westerner price for the durian, especially for a small one too.

    The birds at the winery.... Fantastic! And I love the switch between the nice calm, soothing music to the fast, fun song that you chose whilst you were driving... Nice work! 😁
    Durian.... Watching someone try something for the first time, especially when you know they probably won't like it - priceless. 😆

If that was Florida that probably would have been Fire Ants in you helmet. That never crossed my mind about ants getting in my helmet. Thanks for the Heads Up. As for the price of the Durian, well your a good Ambassador, you just have to smile. I’ve got 45 days till I get there to Pattaya and out of ASQ. I’ve stopped the wine, am running every day and am eating healthy as well.

    Durian wrapped in puff pastry leafs baked for 20 min is heavenly, it caramelizes and the texture gets more custardy. Once I defrosted an imported durian and forgot about it until the smell reminded me after a few days,..it was the opposite of heavenly I can confirm..

    Congrats on your first (and perhaps last) durian. Yea, Patty Doyle! I personally like blue cheese so I like durian, but just like stinky cheese, it's not for everyone. I would recommend durian ice cream instead of the fruit for a first attempt. The price they quoted is a bit high. I get frozen durian at the Asian grocery store in USA for about $10 and there are more pieces than what you got. Usually I eat durian in its frozen form. The creamy mouthfeel makes sense that it should be eaten as an ice cream.

Just so you know the going rate for Durian in most parts of Thailand is 120-150 baht/kg (depending on the season) and if you buy Durian at the farms is only 80-100 baht/kg or less. Only in Bangkok, you will find prices as high as you just paid. But as long as you enjoyed it and the farmer is happy then all good. Welcome to Thailand :)
