Durian season has officially arrived in Thailand, and there’s only one way to kick it off right — with a massive durian buffet right in the heart of Bangkok. From April 25 to May 5, 2025, Siam Paragon is hosting an 11-day fruit festival like no other: the Siam Paragon Tropical Fruit Parade 2025. If you’re a fan of “the king of fruits,” this is your dream come true.
77 Buffet Sessions. 40+ Varieties. Endless Durian.
This isn’t just any buffet — this is a full-blown celebration of Thailand’s prized durians, featuring both beloved classics and rare finds you probably haven’t had the chance to try before. Expect Monthong, Puang Manee, Chanee, and Kan Yao, alongside rarities like Musang King, Ochee (Black Thorn), Long Lap Lae, Gob Phikun, and the intriguing French Fries Durian.
A heads-up: the rarest ones are limited to one piece per person — so make it count.
