Bangkok: Dried durians

foodie travel souvenir durian

Regarded as the king of fruit, durian is a prized gourmet item, especially in Asia.

Locals love its spikey appearance, custardy texture and pungent smell.

Inexperienced eaters, on the other hand, may find durian intimidating.

Less offensive than the fresh fruit but still fantastically pungent, dried durians can be a less risky alternative.
