If You Love Durian, Make Sure to Visit These Cafés in Bangkok

Dubbed as the “king of fruits,” durian is one of the most famous seasonal fruits in Thailand as the country is also among Southeast Asia’s largest producers and exporters of this stinky yet creamy and buttery fruit. 

According to a study from the International Society for Horticultural Science (ISHS), Thailand produced 8.85 million metric tons of durians in 2014. It’s no surprise why many Thais have a deep love for durian and the idea of adding this fleshy fruit to baked dessert recipes and delicacies seems perfect.

Here are some must-visit cafés in Bangkok that’ll satisfy your cravings for durian desserts!
