I’m planning to go in August myself. So many places to go in a relatively small country. I’m thinking Penang, then Kuching and travel around Sarawak and Sabah for two weeks. I’m very interested in other durian species, and pretty much everything. There appear to be large markets in out of the way places. The durian blog probably lists and reports on more than is practical to visit.Peter
By the way if durian is really your interest you can try searching for more wild varieties and species in kalimantan.try going to east kalimantan or west kalimantan.east kalimantan is where the largest city in borneo samarinda with more than 900 000 people is located.

I know penang fruit garden but is there one on the big island which is good for tourist?
