tko Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Heh. Early on I told the future TW she could have durian any time she wanted, but she couldn't come home for three days afterwards. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fforest Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) If we are paying these high prices in Thailand, in China and Europe they must be paying out the wazoo for fresh Durian......... You can get a whole fresh Durian in the Uk for only 84 pounds or 3700 Baht..... https://rareexotics.co.uk/products/durian-fruit-buy-online Edited June 14, 2021 by fforest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell the price in the San Francisco area for fresh durian is crazy. One section was going for $35 (1085 ฿) yesterday. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Dangleberries Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 One of the dead shrubs that M'Lady dug up last week was Durian. All her sisters that bought plants at the same time are now fully mature and growing fruit !!!! There are a few durian farms nearby in Sisaket so easy enough to buy if I am so inclined .. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasseye Posted May 14 Author Share Posted May 14 During the initial onslaught of covid I lived in VT6. Primarily because of its proximity to Central where I could quickly walk over for supplies. This was important to me at the time because of the overall uneasiness and uncertainities of the quickly changing rules and policies. I remember walking through the gauntlet in the LL (2nd Road side) which was next to the entrance of the grocery store (high class Topps I believe). At the time they had stacked piles of Durian at the entrance. So basically after walking through a sometimes nerve wracking fever check and stern eyeballing you were greeted with a overwhelming scent of shit. Let the good times roll ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
