• Black Chanee  - Sweet and rich flavor, well-balanced without sharp sweetness. A unique characteristic is a hidden floral aroma released when gently pressed.

• Ancient Kan Yao Durian - Sweet-forward taste with a rich finish, creamy flesh with slight fiber, and a buttery, milky aroma.

• Nonthaburi Monthong  – Famous for its premium quality and high price, this original variety from Nonthaburi boasts sweet, buttery, golden-yellow flesh that is dense and delicately smooth.
• Phan Prasri  – Known for its golden-yellow flesh and small seeds, this durian has a glossy, smooth skin, a fibrous-free, sticky-soft texture, and a naturally sweet, pleasantly fragrant taste with no overpowering odor.
• Gob Phikun / Gob Suwan – Offers a perfectly balanced sweet and creamy flavor with fine-textured flesh in a vibrant orange-yellow hue.
• Premium-Grade Musang King  – Originally from Malaysia and now grown in Thailand, Musang King features beautifully golden flesh with a rich, sweet-buttery flavor, a creamy smooth texture, and a uniquely bold aroma.
• Ochee (Black Thorn) – With a striking deep orange “champak” flesh, this variety delivers a rich, creamy taste and intense fragrance. It’s known for its consistently rich flavor and ultra-smooth, custard-like texture.
• Long Lap Lae – Features slightly less-moist flesh with a naturally floral sweetness. The taste is soft, sticky, and deeply mellow.
• Rare and Regional Varieties – Including: Nuan Thong Chan, Chanee Koh Chang, Nam Kroy Durian, Thongkham Lung Somwong, and the rare Nok Khamin Durian. Varieties from Eastern Thailand such as Monthong, Kanyao, Chanthaburi 1–7, Chanthaburi 10, Thong Yoi Chat, Puangmanee, Gob Suwan, Nok Yip, Thong Linjong, Long Lap Lae, Pratu Chan 47, Pongkhun, Thong Yai Am, Phet Samut, Gob Phikun, Thongkham, and Gob Na San.
