There are 200 varieties of durian in Thailand, but 60 to 80 kinds are widely planted. Among them, there are three most famous species: light species: Yiluan, Jiaoluntong, Harufuji, Jinzhen and Chani, which bear fruit after four or five years; Medium species: long stalks and long valleys, bearing fruit in six to eight years; Re-planting: Kampong, Ina, eight-year results. They bear fruit once a year, and the maturity time is one or two months apart.

Among them, people are familiar with:

(1) gold pillow, (Meng Tong), is a very popular one. Its meat is fat and sweet, and its meat is golden yellow. Often one of the petals is relatively large, which is called "main meat". Because the smell is not too strong, it is very suitable for beginners to "get started" and eat this smelly and fragrant fruit. Golden pillows can be eaten all year round, but the price changes with the season. The price is the cheapest and the peak season is the best.

(2) Among them, the leaves are small, the head is small, the flesh is much, the nucleus is small, and the dark yellow flesh is better.

(3) Long stalk: It is named because the stalk of this durian is longer than other varieties. This variety has a long and round handle, and the whole durian is mainly round. The pulp and stone are also round, with green skin, dense thorns, large stone, small and delicate pulp and rich flavor.

(4) Ancient Ye Tao: The meat is particularly delicate, as sweet as honey, with a small core, which is welcomed by foodies and is the most expensive durian. Durian in Thailand has a wide range of producing areas, ranging from warm Li Wu in the central part to Luo Yong in the mobile part. Durian from Bazhen Li Wu won the championship. Durian in southern Thailand is not as good as durian in central and eastern Thailand. However, due to the late maturity, other durian seasons are "scarce".
