“The road might be okay,” Pian said, nodding as he thought about it. “But not really recommendable.” We were asking about taking the Western road because Richard was excited to circumnavigate the lake hunting Lake Poso Durian. While Google Maps “said” there was a road, we already know that in Indonesia Google Maps can be […]

Sulawesi Durian Lokal in Parigi Moutong
We didn’t have any durian friends in Parigi – yet. So we went to the morning market, found the friendliest durian seller, and within an hour were wading up a crystal clear river lined with 100-year-old durian trees on a magical blue-sky morning. Sometimes you find the most amazing durian experiences when you have no […]
Sulawesi Monthong Durian Export in Tolai
“You’ll think you’re in Bali when you get to Tolai,” a friend told me. “why? – you’ll see when you get there.” I didn’t see anything that made me think of Bali as we left Parigi Moutong and drove the 30km south along the east coast of Central Sulawesi to Tolai City. The road was […]

The New Richmond Durian Shop Liu Shang Pin
“Have you seen the new Richmond Durian shop?” a friend texted me, with a link to a local news article. A few minutes later, my phone pinged again. “Look what just opened down the road from me!!!” another friend texted. In my Instagram, someone sent me a Google Maps link. “I haven’t been yet, but […]
First Naratiwat Durian and Guide to Hala Bala Wildlife Sanctuary
UPDATE: About 2 weeks after we left Hala Bala, there was an insurgent attack on the ranger station in the park, the first attack in this area in over 30 years. Read more at the Bangkok Post. I wanted very badly to taste Naratiwat durian, but I really really didn’t need to get blown up. […]
Durian Trip to Jardin du Mekong | Chợ Lách Vietnam
My last Durian Trip to the Mekong Delta was 12 years ago. Since then, I’d dreamed of returning to the same areas to see them again with fresh eyes. As I cobbled together hazy memories of where I had been before, it became clear that I wanted to stay in Chợ Lách District in Bến […]

Ho Chi Minh Durian Shop – Sầu Riêng Quang Minh
On our first trip to Ho Chi Minh City, we stayed in one of the most touristy parts, just a few blocks away from the War Remnants Museum, the Independence Palace, and a beautiful, shady park full of enormous old trees. Our choice of location had little to do with durian, and more to do […]

Belviz Farms All-Year Davao Durian Buffet
The pandemic didn’t close Davao’s most beloved durian hangout – the shop just moved and improved. In 2021, Rosario’s Durian Restaurant closed its screen doors for the last time, ending nearly 20 years of durian service. For us durian travelers, it was a favorite durian meet-up in Bankerohan Market, a step off the bustling street […]
Jalan Macalister Durian Guide for George Town
We drove over the mountain from Balik Pulau, Penang, ready for a smorgasbord Jalan Macalister Durian Hop in George Town. It felt a little bit backwards, because all the durian grows in Balik Pulau and gets sold for higher prices in George Town. For most people visiting Penang, it’s far more convenient to nip down […]
