Thai Monthong has a large fruit body, a yellow shell, a small seed and a pointed tail, with relatively sharp spines. It has a lot of flesh and is sweet; at first taste it has an odd smell, but as you keep eating it is cool and sweet, with an excellent aftertaste.

3. Kampan durian

4. Sultan King durian

Sultan King durian has thick flesh, with a dense, soft and dry texture, and among all durians its flavor is the richest. It has a high yield and is very popular, and to this day it is still the one most used in cakes and desserts.

5. Kanyao durian

Kanyao durian comes from Vietnam and was grafted from Malaysia's top-grade Musang King durian. Although it is not as good as Musang King, it still has fairly distinctive features. Its seed is large and its flesh yield is unstable; its shelf life is generally only 3 days, and its taste is fragrant and glutinous, with a heavy flavor and heavy sweetness.

6. Tomani durian

Tomani durian is also called Linglong durian. Its features: small in size, round, thick-skinned, with large seeds; it can be eaten without cracking open, and the rich flavors of sweet, bitter, fragrant and mellow are blended into one. After eating it, you will not want to eat Monthong or Kanyao again.

7. Chanee (Green Thorn) durian

Thai Chanee has a steamer-shaped form, that is, the middle of the fruit is plump, the head is slender and the base is flat; the segment grooves are relatively deep, and the fruit stalk is large and short. Its flesh is delicate and dark yellow, close to apricot yellow; it has an abundant yield, a sweet and smooth taste, and few and small seeds.

8. Red Flesh durian

Red Flesh durian is small in size and is a mainstream durian variety in Malaysia. Red Flesh durian's flavor is noticeably different from Sultan King and Musang King, with a herbal taste.
