Dazzled by durian

Head up to Laplae, a small district in Uttaradit, and enjoy a weekend of agrotourism while munching on juicy tropical fruit. From Saturday through June 3 the local farmers are hosting a Durian  Festival at Hua Dong fruit market. Unlike those durian from Thailand’s east, Laplae’s Long and Lin varieties bear smaller thorny fruit with a much friendlier yet intense odour and a creamy sweet flavour. Tucked away in the mountains, Laplae is an ideal for a green weekend and slow travel.

 

Discovering new destinations

The annual Thailand Tourism Festival (TTF), taking place at Impact Arena in Muang Thong Thani from June 5 to 9, promises great escapes and blissful holidays through special packages and promotions. Hotel, spa treatment, car rental, airlines and travel agency will ply their trade for five days. There’ll also be plenty of Thai food and a series of cultural shows.
