I like.......the fruit but not the prices 🙁

I hear you.....Its easy to burn 1,000 baht on one modest purchase......I did find one stand selling for 120 a kilo a few weeks ago but now most are about 160 a kilo....I told my girlfriend only one nice sized Durian purchase(as in a few kilos of the of the shelled fruit) a year....

If we are paying these high prices in Thailand, in China and Europe they must be paying out the wazoo for fresh Durian.........  

I can tell the price in the San Francisco area for fresh durian is crazy.  One section was going for $35 (1085 ฿) yesterday.

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 ..

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 !
