As its name suggests, Thai durian (also known as Monthong durian) originates from Thailand. According to many accounts, Monthong durian was introduced to our country in the early 1990s through a non-commercial route.
The variety is commonly grown in the Southeast and the Mekong Delta, and was later tested in the Central Highlands and Western provinces.

Thai durian segments are light yellow in color, the rice is very thick, and has flat seeds. The special point is the sweet taste, moderate fat, and not boring to eat. Thai durian does not have a bitter aftertaste, and the aroma is not too strong like other durians.
This gentle but heartwarming flavor is very suitable for those who are new to eating durian or do not like the "explosive" taste typical of durian varieties like Ri6 or Chuong Chuong.
