hi Chris , the other day you were all over the news here in Thailand , with your video from the salon you visited and give her new signs and 3000 thb ... they really liked your kindness

[@TheCopperist]

For Durain and this time will grown in Chantaburi Rayong and Trat are south-eastern part of Thailand

[@Travelwithchris]

Wow super cool! Thank you you for that!

[@iampim55]

There are many types of durians. One that you tried = Kan-Yao (I heard from the background) which is expensive one ---- the texture woukd be creamy and the smell is not so strong. The more common ones are Mon-Thong (firmer texture with slightly stronger smell) and Cha-nee (quite mushy with strong smell, super sweet but would be bitter if it's too ripe) The high prices are based on supply-Demand: only limited area could produce "good" durian & we export a lot to China as well.

[@joselovos7107]

This is a cool video .... ur videos are awesome brother .... i was there back in 2019 and i felt in Love with Thailand so much fun

"Get out of the taxi right away" when they refuse/excuse to use taxi meter. The law requires them to use it but that is the way they try to scam/overcharge tourist. I am Thai and I want Thailand to be fair to the tourists.

[@Travelwithchris]

Yes definitely learned that!

[@blinkytran]

raw videos is always the best videos

[@Travelwithchris]

Yes I agree also! Thanks so much!

[@irishgip71]

Awesome video the way u don’t edit. But either way is awesome 11B brother.

[@afagan3177]

Durian used to be inexpensive but Chinese people have imported them to China therefore more demanding to send them to China. Also the middleman cost fruit more $$

[@Travelwithchris]

Dang crazy! Sounds about right though!

[@n-7766]

Tuktuk is more expensive than metre-taxi about x3 ... your durian came from Eastern of Thailand, Rayong and Jantaburi provinces. the durian you bought is same price as Thai people.

[@Travelwithchris]

Ahaha I've learned that now! Thanks so much for the support!

[@pmg-1]

You can get marinated raw blue crab in a lot of asian restaurants..especially Korean restaurants..in the U.S. esp L.A. in Koreatown

[@maradavidsvlogs8157]

Man people judged durians by the smell and gag without tasting it and be missing out on the most expensive fruit. It's literally at least $14lbs in CA depending on the seasons. And when you blend it with ice, milk, and a little condensed milk it's a bomb ass smoothies. I'm glad you tried it before judging. It's the king of fruits in Thailand. But also for Cambodia but not sure if they labeled it as king of fruits like Thailand. It takes times and efforts to grow successful quality fruits. My aunts and uncles recently grew before covid, and said that next year or 2024 will be even better quality of the fruits.

[@Travelwithchris]

Yes I enjoyed it! I just recently had a durian smoothie as well! I also enjoyed that very much!

[@cheemo1957]

glad to see you made it,are you gonna be in Huahin..Buy you lunch

[@Travelwithchris]

Don't think I'll be making it there this trip! Have a really tight schedule as I'm working with a few companies! Thanks for the invite though bro

[@fritoguy]

If you put that Durian on a end of a stick it would be like a medieval mace 😂 bro for the first time trying it looked like you vibe with it.

[@Travelwithchris]

Ahahah facts bro! Deadly! Never seen a fruit like it before!

[@floridabreaks3591]

I absolutely love love all of your videos what you do is amazing I will be like you soon on October 27th

[@mdlim24]

Hey @Travelwithchris, love your videos bro. Been watching ever since Peru. Quick question, I'm headed to Bangkok/Pattaya later this year. Which was more fun? Bangkok or Pattaya?

[@BigJoe1]

Don't get scammed by tuk-tuks! Always take metered taxi!!! I liked the raw video! Will you also be trying some Thai "Extreme" bug food :) like scorpions and fried cockroaches? :))))

[@Travelwithchris]

Oh yeah they love to scam! Ahaha ill be making a video all about that! And yes bugs coming very very soon!

They're scrumptious, ain't they?!

Yes!! I like them a lot!

[@sun_s9067]

I think the guy who sold the durian to you didnt understand your questions well. He told you that the durian came from Chantaburi and Rayong and those provinces are in the East (past Pattaya further to the East), not the South (he nodded when you asked was it from th South)😊 After trying durian, you should eat mangosteen afterward. It tastes great and is like yin yang to durian, cooling down the heat you body created after eating durian 👍🏻

[@Travelwithchris]

Thank you so much for that knowledge! Are you watching from Thailand? 🙃

[@sun_s9067]

@@Travelwithchris Nope. From Toronto, Canada 😊❤️

[@theone8165]

Is expensive for that kind of piece, no? 60 baht

[@sun_s9067]

@@theone8165 I dont know what the price should be as I never bought any durian myself (durian is my mom’s favourite so she bought a good one and I ate with her) but yes 60 baht might be a bit expensive for just one piece. Chinatown Bangkok is not the cheapest place for street foods and good durian varieties (Mon Thong or Karn Yao) are not cheap.

[@dolmapradhan9008]

Now you are back in BKK you should visit the Wat Traimit or temple of the solid gold Buddha, there is a great museum there where you can learn the history of Chinatown and the discovery of the solid gold Buddha.

[@Travelwithchris]

I visited those temples before! I'm working on a big video just about temples that should be coming soon!

[@Yelobutterflyable]

I would describe the Durian taste like sweet custard. Some has a little bitterness to it. In Malaysia from month May til August is the durian season, for Thailand, mid April til September. Why are they expensive?, because they can't be manualy harvested, the king of fruit has to fall to the ground by itself. My hubby as a greek aussie he likes it to be kept cold or frozen, not room temperature. I hardly eat durian, not a big fan😁.

[@sharonshalom5180]

You must to go there (Yaowaratch/China town) at the night, There are so many stalls of wonderful street food.

[@Travelwithchris]

Thanks so much for the recommendation! I'll have to go try that out!

[@henrik4547]

In the Chinatown there is a famous noodle store which is Open 24/7

Great video bro..very real! Nice to see it at night...maybe next vid!

Nice video

Thank you!

Siam in the past was a city where various people in Asia lived together and then change the name Thailand. Thai means independent and Everyone here speaks Thai.

[@Travelwithchris]

Wow super cool! Thanks for teaching me that!

[@Benzpackerz]

Thank you for visit my country , Have fun bro ^^

[@Travelwithchris]

Thank you so much bro

[@Travelwithchris]

What part of Thailand are you from?

[@davidho5362]

The Durian smell strong but it is King of the fruit.

[@Travelwithchris]

It is delicious!

[@sornnarinsomkaw221]

Rayong and Chantaburi are the east of Thailand sir. Durian so expensive because it's popular and need to wait the season. and the most of durian are export to china.

[@theone8165]

I like Muay Thai.

[@Travelwithchris]

Yes!!? Same!!!

[@matthewgardner824]

I'd probably avoid the "fresh" seafood vendors. You know they aren't wasting food that wasn't sold that day. Probably becomes the Friday special after a few days.

[@Travelwithchris]

🤣🤣🤣 yeah for sure bro! Definitely not the best idea!

[@laszlolukacs8083]

Hey mate! In my opinion durian is the best with sticky rice and coconut milk just in the same bite. (Old thai man told me and approved.) :D

[@Travelwithchris]

Hey thanks a lot bro! I'll have to give that one a go forsure! Sounds amazing!

[@DelhiBelly1620]

Hey I just found your channel. I booked a trip to Bangkok in September. Is it going to be 103 and 97% humidity then as well? 😳🥵🤨

[@TheCopperist]

It’s expensive maybe durian is seasoning fruit and the process to open is harder than normal fruit

[@Travelwithchris]

Thanks for watching!

[@somnuksubtemsuk6936]

Durian comes from Rayong/Chantaburi provine(East of thailand).

[@Travelwithchris]

Thanks so much

[@topcs.1232]

The one you buy is expensive because it's a finished product. Find a shop that sells fruit durians. The price per kilogram will be cheaper. But you have to unpack the durian yourself.

[@ismailqursoy]

❤️

[@karstenlink3921]

Rayong / Chantaburi he said. It's in the South East of Thailand - not in the North.

[@uberpranks9184]

Absolutely hilarious to see a spanish walk around making a fake english accent in hopes of having people understand lmao

[@user-xw6oc9ff1t]

แซ่บหลายทูเรียน

[@TrongthamKruetreepradit]

Why durian so expensive? there are many reasons, first there are a tropical fruits those plant mostly in South East Asia(Eventhough they tried to plant in the South of Chinese and South America but they still not produced a lot). The second reason they will produced fruits after 5 years of planting(or longer and the first few years of fruiting they still fruit very few) and fruit only 1 time a year, you may see durians all years those they try to produce out of the normal season for higher price but for each plant they still fruit only 1 time a year. The third reason is their thorn cover are so heavy there may 50-60% of the whole fruits and they have professional guys to take the cover off that's why finished durians are higher prices a lot more than whole durians.

[@prasitongard5833]

Rayong & chanthaburi Eastern region in Thailand 🇹🇭
