We Ate Durian From a 300 Year Old Tree!! 🌳 | EXOTIC FRUIT in Phatthalung, Thailand

🎥 Amazing Snake Fruit Salad: • Amazing SNAKE FRUIT SA...
Phatthalung, Thailand - Welcome to Phatthalung, a province in southern Thailand that I fell in love with due to nature, the relaxed way of life, the incredible food, and fantastic fruit. Today was a special day, tree ripened (and fallen) durian from a 300 years old durian tree. #durian #exotic fruit #Phatthalung #Thailand
I first met Lindsay Gasik back in 2013 when we went to Nonthaburi to eat one of the most expensive durians in Thailand (you can watch the OLD video here • Amazing DURIAN at a Fr... haha!) Since then, it’s been amazing to see her follow her passion for durian and other unique fruits throughout the world. She is one of the world’s top experts in durian, and I’ve learned a lot about durian and other unique fruits from hanging out with her and reading her blog (www.yearofthedurian.com/).
This time, we both happen to be in southern Thailand, and Lindsay invited me to taste durian from a 300 years old tree - maybe older - the oldest and biggest durian tree both of us had ever seen!
Along with this once in a lifetime fruit experience, we also tried some ripe stink beans - they turn orange and almost taste like canistel - starchy and sweet.
Amazing day of unique and exotic fruit in Thailand!
For more information about this 300 years old durian tree and a homestay in the area, go check out Lindsay’s blog: www.yearofthedurian.com/2020/...
Huge thank you to Lindsay Gasik - Year Of The Durian

I cannot find the exact words to describe what impact this video had on me today. I have watched hundreds of Marks videos and have followed him across the world as if I were right there beside him. Mark has taught me so much over the years, but today.... your guest Lindsay..... she made me think a little different today. Every word that she spoke came from her heart. Passionate and knowledgable yet surprised and inquisitive. A true master of the durian. It's not just a fruit. Its history. That sent shivers down my spine! This video just made it into my all time top 3 favourites. Mark and Lindsay, if you ever get to read this comment.... Thank you.

[@3vilHmongkey]

I love Lindsey's passion for the durian fruit. She describes the taste perfectly as is 😆

[@rescissionmybreath]

Durian seems like a normal fruit here in the Philippines but didn't know it was this complex! Learned so much durian things. Love the guest, Mark!

[@sherrycrowell4786]

I absolutely loved watching this video! The scenery is so breathtaking beautiful. Thanks so much for showing and educating us with this history, I very much appreciated it.

This video was a treat. Thank you Mark.

[@rschrader]

Mark - I just watched your 2013 durian video with Lindsay. Wow - your video style has really changed from this video in 2013 to 2020! I think your fans would really like to see some video bloopers either at the end of each video, once in a while or in something like an annual blooper compilation video. Also - nice 2013 hair... 🤣

[@ellena858]

Wow, wow, wow, so much flavor in one video!!! I’m definitely having juicy fruit envy!!!

Eating a piece of history. Just knowing how many hundreds if not thousands of people over the centuries have tasted the fruit from that same tree, from that EXACT same tree... It's amazing. It must have been a really cool experience. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Wow! My mouth is watering seeing those juicy durian, from the 300 years durian tree. Yummy! I also love Jackfruit which when ripe smells close to the durian. The jungle scenery was awesome too. I wish I lived there in Thailand, to get my hands on some of those fruits and spices.

Dear Lindsay, if you think only Thailand has a 300 yr old durian tree, then you havent really found the durian. Pls come to Pasir Pandak, Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysis and discover at least 250 yr old durian trees which some trunk is as big as 2 meters in diameter. The big bonus is if yiu can find the 'durian tembaga'.

[@RainBaha]

I've been waiting for this video ever since Lindsay mentioned meeting you in her IG posts. feels like a 300 years wait 😆

[@BigOnSpiceMarkWiens]

Thank you!

[@debbieebbiebobebbie]

Wow, that history lesson was amazing! Thank you random person!

[@aaramzee]

Among the food bloggers on KZbin, I have noticed that this new channel of yours, very quickly crossed 100,000 subscribers. It may be record.

[@martinpotgieter7708]

Crossover from Mark's main channel more likely.

[@martinpotgieter7708]

Mark seemed pleasantly surprised by the yellow version stink bean 😂

[@hamiltonastan]

this is the first time seeing the matured/ripen stink beans or petai by turning itself from green to black on the outside! there is also another former communist camp in Betong, Yala Province featuring a tunnel called the Piyamit Tunnel. that tunnel was built by the Malayan communist group led by the late Chin Peng during the emergency era in the 1970s. the ex-Malayan communists continue to live in Thailand and remain barred from entering Malaysia right after a peace treaty called the Haadyai Peace Accord was signed in 1989.

[@BigOnSpiceMarkWiens]

Thank you very much Yong, and thanks for the bit of history. Hoping to visit Betong sometime!

[@Sheikhadil-ti5td]

I m ur big fan from pakistan. Mark. I see ur all vblogs . My dream is to work for u. Hope to make a restaurant for u of chapli kababs. So when u come to Pakistan enjoy with ur family. But may b it's only my dream

[@MrRichardalexander]

Fascinating trip

[@khonthai4225]

Welcome Lyndsey a Durian Expert! If you ask your friends, 50% hate its stinky smell but the rest love this expensive sweet cheesy fruit. In Thailand, we believe Durian has a hot effect in your body, which can be cooled down by eating mangosteens or drinking a glass of water mixed with a little salt. I end up eating a whole durian, followed by 1 kilogram of mangosteens.

[@YearoftheDurian]

I don't need to be called a "durian expert" :) I just find durian really fascinating and love eating it and meeting people who love it also.

[@knyghtryder3599]

We love it , we can eat it everyday

[@paulinlove1491]

Hi sir mark we always watch your video every with my family thanks for being good insperation to me God bless sir and your family

[@AHHHHlee]

Wow.. really cool 👍👍

[@Mikomido5]

I had durian while growing up in Thailand. It’s really good on its own but my favorite way of eating it was with sweetened sticky rice drizzled with some coconut milk. Similar to Thai mango sticky rice dessert. It’s really rich so I didn’t eat it often.

[@TomGreese]

Love this video brother

Me too love this Chanel

Thank you very much Rajiv, I know lots in Indonesia and southern Philippines. But I think there's not too much outside of SE Asia. But check Lindsay's blog for lots more info about this.

Fantastic videos! I have a couple questions: Do you ever get a bit nervous about the venomous creatures over there? (Do you have a medical team on stand by?) I am a palm tree fanatic. Fruit and hearts of palm etc. Love your Palm tree videos. The Caryota (Fishtail palm) video was excellent (You do know that when they produce fruit, they will die.)
