Durian or the 'king of fruits' is one of the most valuable crops Thailand has to offer and the most expensive fruit you can find in the country.

In this video a Durian orchard in Rayong is visited. There is also an 'all you can eat package' that allows you to eat as much durian as you want.

Thailand is the world's largest exporter of durian with Chanthaburi as the main province. Every year in May, the World Durian Festival takes place there as a tribute to this fruit. Actually, the word Durian comes from the Malay word “duri” which means thorns. Because of its enormous size and weight it is called the "King of the fruit". It's just a know if you walk past a pickup truck with Durians on it.
