Travel Calendar - Sisaket Lava Durian Festival 2023

The Sisaket Lava Durian Festival 2023 took place from June 23rd to July 2nd, 2023, at the grounds in front of the Sisaket provincial town hall.

     As one of the most popular durian festivals in northeastern Thailand, durian lovers and tourists alike should have prepared themselves for a delightful shopping, eating, and sightseeing experience a month ago. Numerous outlets were set up, offering a variety of products including OTOP (One Tambon One Product) items, agricultural products from the farm, ornamental plants, and farming equipment.

     The festival, which ran from June until mid-July, was a time when local Sisaket Lava Durian farmers harvested and sold their premium quality durians. These durians are known for their distinctive characteristics - a firm exterior, a soft and sweet interior, and a non-overpowering scent. The durians, which are Geographical Indication (GI) certified, are grown in three districts in Sisaket: Kantharalak, Khun Han, and Si Rattana. Anyone interested in experiencing this unique taste should not have missed the annual Sisaket Lava Durian Festival 2023, or LAVA Durian SISAKET 2023.

    For those who were unable to attend the festival due to being in different provinces or living far away, they had the option to order online via www.lavadurian.com. The website provided delivery services via Thailand Post with an estimated delivery time of 2-3 days. Importantly, every delivered durian came with a QR Code for customers to verify each piece as GI-certified Sisaket Lava Durian.
