It took me quite a while to find this list because the information available in English is both really hard to find (locked away in libraries and exasperated official’s office drawers) and also incomplete. Some mention 81 or 85 varieties of durian. Others list 172 or 179 varieties. This last one lists 245 varieties, except 11 of them are repeats, m...
Basically, Thai durians can be broken down into 5 distinct families which have similar characteristics and a bunch that just get shuttled into the lonely “miscellaneous” category. Kop (also Gob, Cop)This family of over 50 durian varieties is often confused with Kob, a variety from the Philippines that descends from one of the original Kops. Which o...

Where: Suan La Ong Fah, 2016 and 2017 I didn’t like this durian either of the times I tried it. I thought it was watery and overripe in taste, despite being quite fresh. However others found it really intensely flowery and sweet and enjoyed it. 33. Kop Pravai 34. Kop Phonthep 35. Kop Ploy 36. Kop Phuang
Where: I’m Durian, 2018 Kop Pikul is one of my favorite durians. When fully ripe it’s a gorgeous orangy-gold, with the same egg-custard of Chanee but with more vanilla. The pronunciation of the word “Pikul” is tricky, because in the Thai language, if an “L” comes at the end of the word, it becomes an “N” sound. So while this durian’s name is spelle...
Where: Suan La Ong Fah, 2013 and 2017 This durian has a tendency to have small flat pods in the upper portion of the fruit and a bottom half that is just solid shell.

Where: Suan Itsaree, 2017 and 2017; Suan La Ong Fah, 2017 My Thailand Durian Tour Groups love this one every year. With it’s super soft, fiberless texture, subtle hints of wine and chocolate, and super creaminess, Kop Lep-yiao is always a group favorite. The name literally translates to “Hawk Talon.” People who have already been on the Malaysia Dur...

Jan 7, 2020 · The food was very good, I ordered a soup called TOM KHA as an appetizer (Aromatic coconut soup, served with mushrooms) and my wife had the Tulip Dumplins which were good. For dinner we ordered the Durian Durian Rice with Spicy Angry Chilen and Mongolian Beef. In general, it is a good place to delight the palate Thai style!
