Lin Krabi durian sells very well, raises high income

Lin Krabi durian which is currently selling for 400 baht per fruit is raising some 100,000 baht in monthly income to the durian planters with some customers purchasing the fruit directly via social media.

Daneeya Farm owned by a 50-year-old Daneeya Piwdam is known for producing the award-winning Lin Krabi durian, which has been popular among customers for its tastes and is selling for 400 baht each.

The popularity of this durian variety has brought some customers to the plantation to purchase the durian directly, while some also used social media channels to purchase the fruit, which will then be shipped by post to customers.

The plantation currently has some 90 durian trees, and is planning to increase the number to 300 in order to cope with high customers demands. The sale of durians in May 2018 has brought some 100,000 baht revenue while harvest season of Lin Krabi durian usually lasts between May to July.

The plantation also produces Kan Yaw, Mon Thong, and Chanee durian, and has some 100 of these durian tress, providing more variety to customers.

The plantation owner said all durian fruit shipped to customers can be returned if it is found unripe after it has reached the hands of the customer, adding that she has received positive feedbacks from customers for the products and after-sales services.

PM Prayut concerned about rampant football betting during World Cup 2018

The Prime Minister has expressed concerns about rampant football betting among Thais since the start of World Cup 2018. Prime Minister Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha said today that he wants Thai football fans to watch and enjoy football matches for entertainment, without letting it affect their health or efficiency at work or in the classroom. Most importantly, Gen. Prayut urged the public to refrain from football betting as such a vice can lead to debt and financial problems. The Prime Minister’s concerns are particularly directed at young Thais as many are still innocent and not aware of how something done for fun can lead to major problems in the future. He has instructed the Ministry of Education to promote an accurate understanding of the enjoyment of sports among students while engaging with parents to help keep their children away from gambling. Gen. Prayut added that the police have been monitoring all types of online betting, via websites and mobile phone applications, and he...

More Bueng Kan farmers producing durian

Rubber farmers in Beung Khong Long district, Beung Kan province, have been able to supplement their incomes by growing durians. The rubber farmers have now begun picking durians from the trees as they begin to ripen. One durian plantation owner, Chaiyo Sisaeng, said his durian trees produced more durians this year. They will be harvested and ready for sale in the middle of this month. Chaiyo said the reason he started producing durian was because the weather in Bueng Kan was similar to the weather in the southern province of Nakhon Si Thammarat where he had previously rented a plot of land to grow durian trees. After returning to his hometown in Bueng Kan, he decided to grow some on his land where there are now 125 durian trees. Forty of them have produced durians this year. Chaiyo is expecting to make 20,000 baht in profit from selling the sought-after fruit. Around 100 farmers in Beung Khong Long district alone, now grow durian trees. It is expected that Beung Kan will be abl...
