Also on Wednesday I'll be doing a Live Q&A so if you have any questions make sure to ask them here and we'll pick some of the best to answer!

[@nickysanthi6772]

Donal Skehan keep that spirit, for some seconds I thought you look like richard hamond from the grand tour... your expressions are pretty similar to him... keep the spirit!!!

[@buttertoast6097]

Donal Skehan I love how you’re trying mangosteen and rambutan and durian and I just casually have them all in my house right now 🤣

[@donalskehan]

haha!

[@asmrmix3794]

MonThong durian is most popular smell good and not mushy like Cha nee that you eaten

[@MQMag]

I LOVEEEEEE Durian!!!

[@napaarkad]

Thai called Rambutan as 'Ngor' Durian as "Turian" Mangosteen as "Mungkoot" Salak as "Sala" Jackfruit as "Kanoon" And "Mon thong" is the most popular gerne of Durian in Thailand.

[@joshuachad]

Hey Donal, I have not eaten durian for 5 years now... There’s a perfectly good reason for it... If you don’t eat durian for a while, you won’t crave it, but once you eat it, you crave it like a crazed marauder on ends. It’s that addictive! So, no thank you! 😂

[@donalskehan]

I think that's what happens whenever I go back! I want to feast on it!!

[@rdh289]

Dear South East Asian people, the Durian starts in 4:27 Cheers!

[@woodythehoodie659]

ridho yep we are waiting

[@FireCracker3240]

It must be amusing to watch people eat Durian for the first time.

[@nooramam663]

Nice

[@itsmeberryz]

Still watching the whole vid tho 🤣

[@kobkub555]

I'm a thailander and i had to say "i hate durian" not because of taste but a smell killing me inside.

[@riyahsuharto2159]

No doubt .. durian is the best one .. king of fruits for sure

[@donalskehan]

Defo!

Welcome to Thailand and welcome to new experience. You have come to the right way because Thailand is a paradise of fruits and foods. Hopefully you will learn and enjoy with the culture of Thai food. I'm Thai, sorry for my poor English.

[@jordan.newsom]

Loved this video Donal! Trying new fruits is so much fun.

Wow! you've tried some thai fruits. Many more to try if you have a chance and you'll love them. Glad that you love Thailand. 😃 Hope to see you here next time. 😀

[@heytheresia]

Durian is a fruit that either you love it or hate it, and I love it!!!

[@MICQUIAMBAO]

Loving all your travel food episodes - you should definitely do more of these!

[@donalskehan]

The Baking Bomb more coming! Just did one all about pizza!

[@TheBakingBomb]

excited to watch it!

[@hgaieban9564]

oh my mouth waters when i see this video i really really like eating fruit and especially is durian because smell it very good

[@n_s1538]

i like how you explained the taste

[@nikkipotter]

Hi Donal you are the first person not from south east Asia who actually likes durian :D I’m from Singapore and absolutely love it! thanks for trying! I hope the locals also shared some food hacks about durian but in case they didn’t - 1) Stay well hydrated after eating durian. It tends to warm the body but one can easily become dehydrated if they eat too much. 2) To get rid of the residual durian smell on your fingers, take the seed of the durian and rub it between your fingers with some soap. Works much better than with soap alone! 3) not related to durians but there are little wedges at the bottom of a mangosteen. These correspond to the number of fruit pulps you can find in a single mangosteen.

[@patthornr.9017]

You've met the King durian and The Queen mangosteen. Hail to the fruits :))

[@etherdog]

Hey, Donal, we would love to hear more about the culture of the fruit, how it is farmed, the historical significance and nutritional value.

[@limaman7262]

John G You should try Bon Appetit's "It's Alive!" series. Their videos on Chocolate Beans are especially interesting.

[@etherdog]

Hi, Leif, I do watch Brad on "It's Alive!" and he is entertaining and informative, giving a lot more of the science behind what is happening with his creations. He's about the best thing about BA, IMO. Glad you follow him too.

[@jeffysocity]

Normally we (chantaburi) local would prefer eat durian that more stiff than what you taste on this VDO then smell will be softer and taste are more mild and velvety custard.

[@donalskehan]

Nath Tong interesting!!!

[@jeffysocity]

This is great content and glad to see you try different things .

[@cHemon]

It depends on people preference. Thais in general perfer a durian that is not-so-ripe. While Malaysians perfer a very ripen one.

[@jeffysocity]

cHemon exactly durian is exotic fruit that need to be consume at the right time according to personal preference but if you scared of those strong smell of durian you better try it when it’s still a little hard outside and a little soft inside .

[@drewpierce7040]

My mouth is salivating. I grew up on these fruits and durian is my favourite.

[@itsgrawkneeah]

0:34 😂😂😂 loving these little episodes!

[@Anna-oe8ue]

I started consuming durian in baked goods, cake, and I always liked it. The initial smell of the fresh fruit is rough to get over, but it does serve a sweet dense custard. I will agree with Donal, for me it's not an everyday fruit... Thank you for sharing your experience!

[@sarikagupta6379]

My favourites are Thai pineapple, gauva and mangosteen. Salak and rambutan too

[@arcticMonk6]

I love rambutan. Here in the Philippines, we have those fruits too, except salak. We call mangoosteen as King Fruit and durian as our Queen Fruit. Never heard salak before, until now. Thanks for featuring. So I might visit Thailand someday, I will seek salak. Take care Donal.

[@audybharksuwana2041]

My aunt sometimes puts durian into her Masamun curries and they were great.

[@donalskehan]

I have heard of that! Sound really interesting!

[@goldenflower4756]

you must to try durian " Mon Thonh" gene it number 1 popular durian that you eat on film is "Cha nee" gene it number 2 .....and i will told you for some trick durian much better you will chill in refrigerator it made test differant

[@Fairi2009]

The rambutan is called lichi and is like a white grape is delicious

[@jeffysocity]

Finally you visit my country moreover you visit my city. How awesome ????

[@cutepoisoner]

You picked the right place for fruit tasting in Thailand, Donal. Chantaburi is one of the best origins. Almost ripe durian smells much better, not too strong and gives you a real bite to it. Try some while it still lasts in the season.

[@mrmrsralphiesasmr777]

The best job in the world is travelling and eating!! Looks great on you Donal!! 🙈🙈👏👏😊😊👍👍

[@nattapolnongjit5786]

Nice to see you eating our fruits especially durian 😁

[@donalskehan]

I'm in love!

[@starrynight6223]

I enjoyed this so much! You described the fruits so perfectly, I felt almost like I had eaten them!

[@tossbiz]

What a great video. I'm actually learning english with your journey. Thanks for making the video.

[@belitega]

Im from latin America and Rambutan (mamon chino) it's the only fruit here from your top 4, I really like it. But I'd seen in the video some fruits that we also have here and one very similar to durian called bread sead. Great video Donal.

[@Sidestreetdog]

Durian is one-thing you only either love or hate it. I'm one of later, but I can understand why many love it.

[@SwatiSharma-gd6pt]

These are really exotic fruits to thailand only. It's good you tried them and shared the experience with all .

[@zainazrai8151]

Rambutan is my favourite..

[@patthornr.9017]

There are many kind of Durians worth to try. Mostly people don't like the smell and slimey texture. I recommend you ask for a hard texture, it's crunchy on the outside and the inside is much easier to enjoy "Mon-Thong" and "Karn-Yao" are very delicious

[@shirleycastle5170]

I'm so jealous one of my favorite things is 2 try new foods and learn about them. Thank you for sharing, looking forward to your next video.

[@jillpritchard6037]

Hey Donal, Good on ya for trying all the foods I couldn’t think of ever trying. By the way, I saw you do a little Jig next to one of the trees out fruit pickin‘, just wonderin‘ if maybe ya got a bit close to a snake 🐍 or Scorpion 🦂 or something else poisonous ☠️!!! Do ya remember that? I have seen (I think) the 1st 2 fruits you showed but I am curious if the Durion fruit is shipped to America by freight? There is a market about 20 miles from me that has lots of unusual fruits and vegetables from allover the world and by watching you on here, I am learning how to use them. Thanks so much and please give your sweet little girl a hug from an Irish Grandmum Of 5 Grandsons! I wish you and your crew safe travels, both at home and away. From an Irish traveler that got lost, now a West Coaster, Washington State sw of Seattle. No big cities for me! Would love to go back home again, but my Grans are here so here I have to stay until my heartbeat is taken away. Cheers Donal, Irish Jilli

[@supergail]

Love the video! The last part was so funny lol. You were so brave eating durian. Many people are too scared to try it because of the smell :) welcome to Thailand!

[@woodythehoodie659]

It's depend on when you pick them up and if you did get them spot on that would make your day

[@user-tu8nq6pw9h]

Try the “mon thong (หมอนทอง)” or “Kan yaw (ก้านยาว)” they taste wonderful , only problem is , you have to get used to the smell

[@mazalahsulaiman8243]

i love rambutan and durian😊

[@user-yk4mi6sy5q]

Mazalah Sulaiman me to

[@embersparks13]

It's funny you said it looks like something you find in Pokemon because there is in fact a pokemon that looks like a mangosteen. It's name is bounsweet.

[@donalskehan]

Knew i wasn’t going crazy! 😂

[@FireCracker3240]

At 0:34... that scream has me dying over here! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@annalizab.bautista80]

Mangosteen is my favorite... I'm gonna miss it when i leave Thailand...

[@sairungch]

My most favorite fruit.

[@aliveasalways]

Yes to trying Southeast Asian fruits! Also, it's interesting to see that the Thai salak looks much redder than the ones here we have in Indonesia-or maybe it's the lighting/editing? Honestly, I find mangosteen a lot harder to peel. With rambutan, we usually squeeze them out with both our hands, cracking the peel. It's tiring but I find it much easier. It's so funny to see your durian reaction lol

[@shashacheeru8582]

Thank u for this! Just what I needed when I am planning to go to Thailand next year 😊

[@MagicDragon]

Durian is make your inside heat and will easy to get sore but we use to eat with Mangosteen because the mangosteen is cool, it's like Yin & Yang.

[@donalskehan]

I heard about this- and supposedly you're not meant to eat durian and drink beer?

[@MagicDragon]

Donal Skehan Yes it very dangerous with whisky and beer so if you do eat durian you have to wait to drink or not do drink all these in that day, so many people die with ate durisn and drink beer or wisky later, durian is make you heat inside that's why i not use to like it hahahaaa.

[@dianurfa_]

i feel proud seeing you trying all these fruits, and they happen to be all my favourites (except salak, have never tried before)! i'm glad to see you somewhat accepting the durian taste hehe 🙈 also, i hope you can collab with Mark Weins one day the next time you're touring Thailand!

[@vaishya7611]

You should collaborate with Pai and Mark Wiens when you go to Thailand again. Btw, I tried durian and I like it. Mangosteen, rambutan and durian are very famous fruit in southern Philippines. Hope you can visit our country. Then collaborate with Erwan. 🤓 PS. I know 1M subscribers will come very soon. 🙏🏽

I don't know about other part of south east asia but someone told me (friend of mine told me recently and first time heard of it), it's a good way to eat mangosteen after eating durian because it will cool your body. I don't eat durian during hot day, my body will going to be hot and usually i got fever the next day. Lol
