Chantaburi Fruit and Good Festival 24 May - 1 Jun 2009

03/22/09 | by admin [mail] 119 views   | Tags: Thailand, Event

This annual festival of all things sweet takes over Thung Na Choei for a whole month. Highlights include fruit floats, contests, agricultural exhibitions and the Princess Cup Dog Contest. The action kicks off with an impressively coloured parade.

King of the fruits is the durian, a delicacy that only grows in Thailand and Malaysia. Other fruits vying for attention include the rambutan, mangosteen, longkong and jackfruit - making this event an absolute must-see for tropical fruit lovers!

The protagonist of this rambunctious event, the durian, is a hard and spiky-shelled fruit with a soft centre and a complex taste. You may never have heard of it, but it is very much sought-after in this part of the world, where there are literally dozens of different types and brands. You can even get durian-flavoured crisps!
