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 […]

Sea of Mist at Yala Durian Garden Home
A Yala Durian Trip: With the Sea of Mist at my feet and a plate of intensely caramel, moist-brownie-dense durian on my lap, the curious desire I’d had to drive around and explore this southern-most province of Thailand faded.

Pattani Durian & Wild Fruits Season at the Sai Khao Homestay in Southern Thailand
In 2017, when I was still a single lady, I traveled with my friends Parisa and her boyfriend (now husband) Damien to visit the Sai Khao Homestay in Kok Pho District, Pattani, Southern Thailand.

Rainy Ranong Durian Roadtrip
About Ranong We woke up at the Jamson Beach Resort to views over the long inlet separating Thailand from Myanmar. It’s an older hotel just outside of Ranong City, in Southern Thailand.

Thornless Durians in Chanthaburi, Thailand
In 2022, I think I was sent a video at least 200 hundred times showing a Thai man tossing down thornless durians and catching them barehanded like American footballs. The video was everywhere. And being in Thailand, I decided to find out who he was and what his thornless durians are all about. VIDEO INTERVIEW: […]
