Despite the chemical contamination we still enjoy durian while in the states (it's worth the toxins :D), although we would prefer to get it organic.
* SIGH* We will visit S.E. Asia someday ...

What about durians in Thailand? I am a bit scared now as I read about farmers spraying/injecting the fruit with all the chemicals (OMG!)...
But I saw some Harley's videos showing organic durian! I really would like to know how and where exactly to get organic durian (and other fruit and veggies) in Thailand?! (P.S. I will be travelling on my own so at the moment I don't think I'll be able to get a bicycle and go miles from farm to farm... not yet, unfortunately...but one day I'll be there:-)))

I look for a durian with brown skin (my experience is the DARK brown ones aren't tasty) and smells sweet.
Andrew (pictured) simply uses instinct to pick the tastiest one.

Sounds GREAT Dr Bob! Panama is 8 degrees north of the equator--we need to grow it here.
Andrew asked for durian the first couple of days since we've been in Panama ...

I struggle to grow them here in tropical Australia(monsoonal climate) They prefer equatorial conditions .Davao is 7 degrees N, Cairns is17 deg sth. Moving to Davao this year. Enuff said!

It is soooo true that 90% of the time when you don't feel like exercising you end up really happy you did afterward!
