As i have been told by my thailand friend,Kan Yao is not the most expensive durian in thailand but Mon Thong is the most expensive durian in thailand(Nonthaburi).i was shocked when my friend told me the price but that's the fact.if any of the durian lovers have a friend in thailand or nonthaburi to be specific try ask them about mon thong and how much does it cost.my friend told me the fruit never reach the market because every each one of them already been booked while still up on the tree..how much is it per fruit?try to find out because to me it is ridiculously tremendously out of the world most expensive durian i have ever heard.just 1 piece of the mon thong durian you can buy 2 sets of the latest iphone.this is what i have been told by my thailand friend.
Mon Thong is the most common and usually the lowest in cost.
Shah8 I can't get the site up, can other people?
Surely black thorn can't be more expensive than laplaes or Chanthaburi 1. If it is on par or better than gaan yeow it is a winner but like all durian taste questions it is likely to be very subjective.
Also, here is a sweet pic of a Black Thorn
Is there something special about Nonthaburi Kanyao durian? Had Kanyao many times in Thailand and they were more expensive than other durians, but not nearly as astronomically expensive as you say: $300. BTW, i really liked kanyao. Just the opposite of tasteless, durianlover. It has a very strong taste. My friend was not too fond of them because he said he detected a kind of strong vegetable taste to them. But i didn't find that to be the case. I think it's a bit of an aquired taste, even for durian fans.
Ok Lindsay, is that a Durian backpack?!? Sorry your Nonthaburi Ganyao wasn't quite ready. Thanks for the video link. Mark is hilarious (in a good way, of course)

I found that it did have a stronger, richer, and creamier taste/texture than other Ganyaos I've had, but I don't think a Nonthaburi durian tastes substantially different than any other Ganyao that is grown organically, fertilized well, and picked very close to ripeness.
