A delicious sensation is sweeping from the south to the north!
The special durian variety “Nam Kiew Bilo,” grown in Yala’s Mueang district, is creating a buzz in Thailand’s durian scene. Known for its unique flavor, thick dry flesh, just-right sweetness, and thinner shell compared to usual durians, it has become popular among Thai and Malaysian connoisseurs alike.
This variety is specially grown along the Pattani River and takes seven years to mature, with blooming season in April and harvesting from August annually. This differs from other durian types, which often have longer seasons.
What captivates tasters is its mellow yellow flesh that’s dry—not soggy—with a mild fragrance and smooth flavor free from bitterness, making it ideal for both first-time and experienced durian eaters.
An innovative sales approach features this high-quality durian both at traditional markets like the Malay Intersection Market in Bangkok and online via TikTok Shop under the name 'BiloOneShop,' including live streaming directly from the orchards.
The success of Nam Kiew Bilo durian boosts local farmers' income and elevates Thai agriculture through modern marketing innovation that perfectly blends tradition with technology.
