Yes I saw this video too.
I HV eaten durians from Phnom Penh, near Phnom Penh airport and sihanoukville, all of them were those unripe type similar to those Thai durians. So I guess before the durian ripe, they already pluck the durians to sell, so I was wondering is it that the Cambodian people prefer to eat unripe durians.
Even in kep province, the durians sold were those big and unripe type. I thought kampot durians are suppose to be one of the best but so far I've never come across ripe kampot durians being sold.
When I was in Ha Tian, the durians sold were those ripe ones and the taste quite similar to those durians in Malaysia.
So I wonder are durians sold in Vietnam ripe ones. However, at my friends wife village up in cam mountain , I ate durians that were ripe and dropped to the ground and it's quite nice but still not as good as Malaysian durians. However they just planted 100 good quality grafted durian trees.
Previously, at my friends wife village up in cam mountain , their big piece of slopy land were uncultivated because they claimed that they were poor. It was my friend who keep pestering them to plant durian trees and so they did at our recent visit. And so this give me an idea that maybe we should talk to those villages to strike some joint venture.
