Come to think of it, its raining season throughout most of the year here (west coast of the malay peninsula) except during Dec-March and July-Sept.

Unlike the way its sold in London's Chinatown with the fruit intact (i.e. the traditional way), most durian vendors here and supermarkets in Thailand sell the fruit with the shell removed these days. The edible flesh are packed with a cling flim (much in the same manner Sainburys pack your chicken fillet) so you can see what you are buying though you cant really smell the aroma.

Hope you "enjoy" your first durian experience
